Well actually it is a drawing. But rock and lava textures were later blended in using Photoshop. All of the scales however were all hand drawn.

Wow very good.

Wow my friend, this is amazing... Awesome in detail, and the fact that it looks like it could actually be in Guild Wars could have mistaken me thinking that you were from the GW Art Team.

I might post the full size thing later. Would make a nice desktop pic I think.I really love titans, so I think I make a jungle titan next. I love how the Wild Growth titans look, so I might be making a variation on that concept. I'll be sure to scan in every step of my work so you can see how I make these pieces.
( EDIT: )
By popular request, here is the hires version of the picture:
Titan Molten Core Hi-res
(For those who were in need of a new desktop picture. ^)
As you can see, even at a high resolution the picture remains incredibly detailed. You can see now see the texture of the stone skin very accurately.
I'll also show my process of making these pictures from now on, starting with a simple pencil sketch:
I always start of with a very basic pencil sketch. In this case I've decided to make a variation on the Wild Growth, which I call the Vile Growth. The picture is quite simple, because I add in all the fine details later with a ballpoint, which takes between an hour, and ehm... more hours, depending on the size of the art-piece.

Nice, these are really good. I have the Molten Core Titan as my wallpaper now.
Sidra
Same. Hehe.
Serafita Kayin
Excellent work. I'll be watching this to learn some new techniques myself...

O.o very VERY nice Rob keep it up ^^
keep it up ^^

These ideas seem really proffessional, i would love to fight monsters like these, especially since Guild Wars is largely devoid of those trully epic, huge creatures which have their own small continent to live on. Can you imagine if that thing was twice the size of a normal titan! Can't wait for the Evil Hedge one next
Arkantos
since im so awesomely cool I put the pic as my desktop 
Sidra
Martian, that thing looks like it's about 50 times the size of a normal titan. At least.

Next I trace the pencil sketch with a simple ballpoint pen. This is kind of where I decide what details I want to keep. In this case I decided to alter the way the hind-toes are positioned, and I also added a few more details such a little leafs on the outside. I don't erase the pencil lines however. My old art-teacher used to tell me that the worst thing ever invented, was the eraser. Basically it makes people scared to make mistakes. But it is better to leave in the mistakes, and just draw over them. It prevents you from ending up in an hourlong battle with the eraser trying to get the picture right. Besides, I can erase annoying lines in Photoshop later on.
Next up is adding the details with the same ballpoint. In other words, a serious case of RSI waiting to happen.

Nice, i like that man, you should add in bones around his feet and like a set of assassin daggers stuck in his inner most hind leg
Pi_Numurian
