Solid Gamera design. I'd like to see a fullbody of that.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.

There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

Cool design but the eyes being almost vertical throws me off. It looks like he's high as a kite.

And that smoke coming out his nostril doesn't help :lol:

Hyrotrioskjan made some Spec Evo versions of kaiju. Since they're supposed to be just regular old animals here, they don't look half bad. I especially like the concept of Biollante here.

Reposting my thoughts from DA: They're good as realistic interpretations of kaiju, but as the actual deal? They just fall pretty short.

I see no regular animal with Biollante. You got trees growing out of its eyes from a bone skull. It's insulting.

*I'm really passionate about my Biollante don't mind me*

But fuck that design.

Also, the other kaiju animals are really cool looking abd do look like animals one could encounter, I like them.

You do know that's what plants do when they're near carcasses, right? They grow around it, incorporating it into their "bodies".

Ive always appreciated these types of redesigns, though I do take issue with people who think that these are IMPROVEMENTS. Hyrotrioskjan's designs look fantastic as their own things, even if that wasnt intended. Id love like a fantasy novel set in a world with these creature designs. Its sad to find out that he hates Kaiju movies, but I guess to each their own.

I usually like his stuff but this one in particular looks a bit too off for my taste. I never really got why so many people make Destoroyah a quadreped to begin with.

I like to trace everything back to Matt Frank's NEO series. Everyone is/has ap'd it to death now.

Why is that Destoroyah a horse...I don't...

Yeah, 1 in 5 of these redesigns seems to be a direct copy or heavily inspired by Godzilla NEO. I can see why; some of his designs look pretty awesome. However straight up copying them is lazy and shows a lack of imagination.

I personally always took it as incorporating his crustacean origins (and earlier multi-limbed forms) into his final one. But that’s just my thinking anyways.

No, that Dessy is a no from me Dawg.

The multi limb sea horse look is just no.

That looks astounding as its own monster. But as Godzilla, it fails on every level.

Im gonna agree.

The problem I have with these is they *artists* trying to pass these off as Godzilla. Like dude, you have something that is drawn well just make it into something else and you're good. Stop saying it's Godzilla.

Agreed. I can somewhat see what the artist was going for, but it falls flat on its face in every single way. This is not Godzilla...at all lol

Anyways, take a look at this Dark Horse comics Ghidorah concept art

Image

I like it. Feels super alien while also being obviously Ghidorah

I feel like this would've got Dark Horse in copyright troubles with Toho but still pretty cool.
