Toho Kingdom

Hello, my friends! Privet!
I now have access to an Imgur account! Within a few days, I may be able to begin uploading my sketchwork.
While I already have some planned, I'll be placing a poll for you to leave your input.
Or, you know, you can just leave some posts, if you feel like it.
This is exciting!

Just so you know, I'll probably be presenting monsters as my own variants, but I will make exceptions if you support a particular design enough.

EDIT: Alright, I've decided to do a bit of an overhaul to the thread, because I do want to keep posting, but I realize now that I don't have the same amount of free time that I used to.

The poll at the top of the thread will still be in place, but I'm thinking that the options will be reduced so that there'll be a little more cohesiveness, and so It would be easier on me.

Thank you, for all your support and patience for all this time.

Ah, first response!

CaptainStarbird wrote:Little Russian in that greeting, eh?

I hope you don't mind that. It's part of a personal gag of sorts. Everyone in class always thought I was Russian, despite the fact that I never spoke the language, and that my name is actually Germanic in origin. So I sometimes pepper my speech with Russian words for fun.

Specifically, a mix of MosuGoji's head, Heisei(91's) torso and a few of both their dorsal spines.
Figured I'd ask because I'm in a mood for something that fits in Monster Of Monsters to start things off.

Interesting concept. Unfortunately, I'd like to wait until there's a larger consensus before attempting a request, as I'm already working on two drawings, but, who knows, perhaps yours may be first.

CaptainStarbird wrote: Oh do take your time, it is your thread after all and I am just the guy asking.
That said, I don't mind a nice wait and hey, maybe I'll get the word out a bit like with gigan72's work.

I'd be grateful if you did.

Also, everyone viewing this should know that, at least initially, the artwork here will simply be pencil on paper, so I apologize in advance if it becomes difficult to see.

CaptainStarbird wrote: As long as it's shaded in well and looks close to what a plausible mix between the two is, then I'm fine with it.

Between the two what? I assume you are talking about your request, yes? Don't worry, if I end up doing it, I will try my best to ensure that it is done well.
In any case, I mean that pencil sketches don't always show up so well, just as a warning.

Well, I'm all but finished the two drawings I was working on. With luck, they should be up tomorrow, and I'll be free to start taking requests.

I'm glad to hear that! Remember to leave your vote, I'm eager to see people's suggestions.

But for now, let's kick things off with my own design. LEGENDARY RODAN!

Hot damn, that Rodan is fantastic.

You think you could do a Legendary King Ghidorah or Mothra?

Yoouuu meeeaan liiiikeee.... THIS ONE!?
LEGENDARY MOTHRA

Godzilla The King wrote:Again, you do something few artists do you kept Mothra's beauty. A lot of people go for a more "ugly" looking Mothra than the beautiful looking designs like Showa and Millennium.

Now I both understand that, and am befuddled by it. Mothra is based off of moths like the Atlas moth, which, while not all the colours of the rainbow, is bright and colourful and fluffy. I believe I've actually toned down the fluff somewhat. This is, as far as I'm concerned, what a realistic Mothra would look like.

Also voted for Gigan for obvious reasons.

Yes, I apologize for that. The pictures are on full-sized sheets of paper, so they're a little large.
Thank you for voting!

Wow.
I have to say LZ, this is some mighty fine work.
Amazing job, man.

Although I picked "Other" for ... well, this guy

Maybe a revamped version?

Not bad at all, so far. Feathery Mothra antennae are Best Mothra Antennae.

I voted for Megalon. Showa or a redesign, either would be good. Second choice would be a Legendary Anguirus.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words, and your suggestions. You're the reason I find the will to do this, to spread my work.

CaptainStarbird, your request should be done soon.

Just a quick question. After seeing my other sketches, does anyone mind the lack of shading?

For CaptainStarbird (and I do apologize for the roughness of it) MOSU-GHIDO GOJI HYBRID SUIT!

That's beautiful and right in my expectations man.
Good work, and that's a perfect amount of shading used.
Keep that up and I may poke in more often and help promote this and Gigan72's threads.

I... I didn't shade it at all. How'd that happen? Ah, well, it is, as Bob Ross might say, a happy accident.

Good night, everyone.

So, as of now, the poll has gathered seven votes in total. No one monster is in "first place" as none have received more than two votes. As it is the first monster to receive two votes/suggestions will be the subject of my next request sketch.

This is nice.
Also I'm quite curious about a godzilla 1954 and godzilla 1984 hybrid.

That hybrid Godzilla is a very strange thing to see, but it actually sort of works. If nothing else, it definitely solves Mosugoji's problem of not being quite bulky enough.
