The Unused Concept Art Thread!

Post by Mr. X »

In addition to my Unused Toho Creations Thread, here's another topic to show off any concept art you've found that's not on the site. For example:

Biollante!
Image

I know some people had some to share! Post away! Just try to make sure the concept art isn't already on the main site. If you want to disscuss something on the main site, go for it! But I'd rather have this thread be for the disscussion of new concept art.

Show me what you got!

I actually think the above concept art is rather bland, at least for Biollante. It looks more like a concept for a spirit-type being, as opposed to a mad scientist's experiment gone wrong.

I would have posted the scans of concept art from the 4 books I own, but it looks like everything is already posted on the main site. I'm curious as to how much other concept art is out there (especially if there's some more from the Showa era).

Some of those Space Godzilla designs are pretty cool. My favorite is probably the beam-firing one with the oversized spines. Or wings, if that's what they're supposed to be. It sort of looks like a Godzilla/Gigan hybrid.

I like the Mogera with the antennae, too.

Of all the beasts featured on that page, this one caught my attention:

Who the heck is this guy? SpaceGodzilla? Or MOGUERA?

^ Your guess is as good as mine. Though it would have to be under SpaceGodzilla because Moguera is at the bottom of the page (though not by much, which I can reason why).

Here's another Biollante image. I found it on Tumblr maybe about a year ago.

Yeah, it definitely took me a minute to figure out where Biollante's face was.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

I love each and every SpaceGodzilla concept arts, especially ones in the 1st page and early 2nd page.

Those are some interesting ideas for SG.

That Biollante pic looks more tree than rose. That would have been freaky to see in the movie.

Heres one for Heisei MG I really like:

http://www.tohokingdom.com/concept_art/ ... la_03.html

Roid rage MOGUERA:

http://www.tohokingdom.com/concept_art/ ... guera1.htm

And these two Kiryu concepts in particular perked my interest:

http://www.tohokingdom.com/concept_art/ ... yu_05.html
http://www.tohokingdom.com/concept_art/ ... yu_06.html

I LOVE the fusion of flesh and metal on these, which makes Kiryu feel like a living organic entity. If I recall, theres about 4 or 5 more similar peices of concept art that portray Kiryu with semi-organic exterior. One notable trait that I recall from these missing peices of art is the Godzilla skeleton's actual spines exposed rather than them being covered with metal plates. If anyone can find these peices, I'd greatly appreciate it. Ive been looking for them forever, and the last time I saw them where in Rodan's Roost's site banner.
