Colossus of Rhodes
Created by: jakob hunter


Winner of the recent Wonders of the World contest, jakob hunter's Colossus of Rhodes is one massive, detailed monument of awesomesauce. Built with an eye kept close on other artistic representations, Hunter brings to the scene a work that Michelangelo would have been jealous of (not that he would understand what an Xbox is). Complete with torch and wall-made sash, Helios is kickin' the newest fashion statement for inanimate, digital forge statues. Hell, he's even ripped to the max with abs of steel (or stone rather).

In all serious though, it's quite sure that Jakob hunter didn't spend near as much time staring at a blank canvas as Michelangelo did, but he has however created one of the best aesthetic statues to date. Hunter really took the spirit of this contest to heart in creating his masterwork and it truly shows. Hunter even managed to snag the first submission in the contest. If you are ever in need of inspiration for an aesthetic piece, you may want to give Mr. Hunter a ring. Congratulations jakob hunter for turning a wonder of the world into a wonder of the forge world as well.

So you've never been to Rome? Well that's okay. It doesn't matter that you've never seen the Coliseum or traveled to India and witnessed the majesty of the Taj Mahal. Maybe your computer doesn't allow you to visit any other website but Forge Hub and thus you haven't even gazed upon a mere image of one worldly wonder. Well never fear Forge Hub is here to save the day. Over the break we hosted a contest that would bring the worlds most famous monuments to real life _{in halo}! So if you ever wanted to walk around the Lighthouse of Alexandria or stare up at a towering statue of Helios you must check out the results of this contest.
