Stop holding out : p

Give us some shots of Concept art for monsters.

Woah, dayum! Those are interesting! Dang, I wish TK would post this sooner!... Though that's hard to do, due to quality. Anyone know where I can get this for a good price?

Also keep up the scans bro.

Sorry about the rather shitty quality...I don't have a scanner, so I had to take a digital camera snap shot. Also, I have no idea why, but these pics are facing sideways and not horizontally like they should (they're horizontal in my photobucket....very odd). Anyways, I'll try to keep 'em coming!

*EDIT* fixed the pic problem.

No Problem, If you take a look at my posts you can tell I have to use a camera sicne I dont have a scanner either.

ALSO:


Oh my Balls this book is awesome. I honestly may buy it at some point just because of my love of art and heisei is my favorite era.

Ahh!!!! Demon Elephant!!!!!

Maybe I can help and pitch in on this! Ya'll should find this fun to see.

Bagan Concept Arts:



What's interesting to note that the last picture you see, the hunchback Bagan as we call him was suppose to have three forms... Maybe from the Return of Godzilla ver. 1?

Also, it would seem that the Gigamoth film may have had an extra random monster in one of the drafts... Fights Godzilla in Las Vegas. That's all I know. No known name and probably minor role if it is the Gigamoth film.


And to those who want to see more of the images (because of the way TK forums are structured, cuts off the image a little bit), just click the urls below.

That is epic! Thanks man!

^Wait, KaijuX, you have this book? Perhaps you can help me in this thread:

Please? I want to get as much info as I can on unused creations. And it appears that the bird-like kaiju is a new one! Never knew about that one. Thanks!

Wow; almost ALL of that artwork is for Bagan?! Talk about a diverse kaiju!

Indeed indeed. Bagan had a lot of crazy stuff for him. XD

"Ah Goji, so you have come for my dragon balls" haha. That one stood out to me well. Cool design!

I like the red & black design on the bottom left. Really looks like a demon monster.

i think the elephant form is too gooffy.

Clearly they all need to be made into Monsterarts! J/K. Wow, Bagan could be an entire season's worth of Ultraman baddies!

I think I'll track down and purchase a copy of this book; I grew up in the 90s, so I have more of an emotional and nostalgic connection to the Heisei period than I do to the Showa period of Godzilla (though I do love the Showa Godzilla films). Thank you for reminding me that this book exists!

Most of these remind me of Zoinoids from Guyver.

Whoa, you're right!

Bagan went through alot, didn't he?

It's amazing how different some could be. I really like that blue, 6-armed Dragon one.

Yeah, the blue dragon is gorgeous.

I seem to recall a book like this one for the Heisei Gamera series; am I just imaging things or can anyone in the know confirm if such a thing exists? Thanks.

If any one is interested this bugger has popped back up on ebay.
