Just before midnight last night, while I was online with friends and they brought up a feed of Times Square. This immediately came to mind so I took a screenshot and started drawing. No usually my style to screen grab and draw over, but the idea was too funny, and I was half asleep, so level of inhibition was low, leading me doing it. It's silly, but a fun way to start the new year.
Also I'm only responsible for the text BLK states. You can blame
emolsifier for the other text. He was in a weird mood last night, and I was too out of it to think rationally about putting the text in.
Question Time: As I was drawing this, my friend made the joke that this made BLK and Alan canonically in the real world, and thus he's a giant menace to real people, even if not intentional (they also made the joke that BLK was naturally that giant in this world, and thus Alan would be too, but we can cross that bridge in some other art). That said, if your character were in the real world, how would they interact with real people, how would it affect the world, and what weird things could/would happen?

Mind goes to the trope of an elephant in the room with a mouse. Fear, why? Because the thing could crawl up the trunk and that likely would be most uncomfortable. I reckon there might be some unease being a stories-tall dragon amongst quite a throng of smol creatures like pictured here. Like ahhh! How can I take a step without getting a big mess on my feet? Clear out, make room, why do these concrete boxes have to be so tall and confining!?
That would certainly make for a nice case study. If giant monsters were a fixture in daily life to the point that it's mundane, we'd worry more about being late for an appointment or not making it to a store in time before it closes. Even more interesting is if they lived and worked alongside us, it would open up the door for some interesting exchanges.
Hehehe, I see li'l Alan there, he knows what a stinker he's being!
Paph in the real world would doubtless be a disaster; assuming he isn't blown up from orbit, he'd be quite the menace, eating people and occasionally reforming them as kobolds, turning people to gold, and generally just being a big tubby bully of a derg.
And if he brought a few friends along? This world wouldn't stand a chance. Although, that's probably not a bad thing~

Heh.
Canon is what you make of it.
I find that a can of worms violently detonates if I try to apply my thought processes to giant characters in my setting. The scene with Emil running from Zerstorer comes to mind. (For everything else, it’s too boring to comment on. The forensic engineer just needs to not bare his teeth around the clients. The electrician needs to keep his frills warm. The deniable asset has to make ends meet and check in with his ripperdoc. The electric beast needs to not completely ruin his host’s life. Pretty dull, at least on the surface. Not too many opportunities for the service fans crave.)

Depends on whether my character would be the only anthropomorphic T-Rex in the world. If he was, I can't imagine it would be much fun for him at all. He's a nice guy who might be able to make friends with a few people, but he'd never get to hang out with them. He'd be too busy running and hiding from all the other people who want to either kill him because "he looks like a monster", put him in an actual zoo because they think "he's an animal", or capture, study and eventually dissect him because he's a biological and evolutionary impossibility.
Yes, I really do want to look like my character in real life. And as long as I'm wishing, how about a trillion dollars and more acceptance of sex/gender, sexual preference, appearance, and religious, political and personal beliefs that don't match the mainstream. I wish I could literally, actually, and for real live in a fantasy world (and not like hallucinating, delusions, or coma dreaming).
