Love the drawing style. Great stuff. It's my preference that Godzilla not look like a dinosaur that much, but it's drawn so well, I'm digging' it.

Good ol' fred. He did a spinosaur gozilla too, IIRC.

Anyway, the design on the right where he's fighting th humanoids aint that bad, but the other two are just allosaur-GINO lovechilds.

I've always interpreted Godzilla to be either a synapsid or notosuchian based on his external anatomy's chimeric blend of reptilian and mammalian features, but that's still a really cool interpretation of the commonly accepted idea of him being a "dinosaur", regardless! Fred Wierum is quite masterful at depicting accurate dinosaur anatomy, even for fictional ones, and this is no exception.

I'm digging it. Tapwing's got a knack for pterosaurs, in my opinion.

The longer I stare at his face, the more it looks like he did something very embarrassing. lol

Well, the title of the art is "Sad Rodan", maybe that's why?

The Rodan that was shared looks wonderful! The head looks wonderfully expressive and yet intimidating at the same time, and it works well. Probably one of my favorite redesigns that I've seen of Rodan.

I like that instance of Dino-style.

And I am sorry for my ignorance on that part Dinomaster.

I think it's a great design! If nothing else, its a MUCH better Godzillasaurus design :)
I'm a believe of God and Jesus Christ my saviour and not afraid to say so.
Although I'm not against giving freedom to same-sex couples/marriage (as America is supposed to be free), as a Christian (which the Bible describes as a sin) and me personally I don't care/desire/agree with same sex couples/marriage.

Yuck. I'm all for creepy kaiju designs but this is just all wrong.

Seems like it's trying a bit too hard to be scary, sometimes less is more. That's just me though.

I would REALLY love to see how Anguirus and Varan would've looked in GMK. I can see it now... Anguirus appearing more like its prehistoric ancestor, the Ankylosaurus. With plated arms and legs, and jagged spikes on his head, back and tail. His behavior would be persistent, like a rabid dog, not letting go until he kills his enemy. Varan, however, would look almost like an iguana with shades of green and brown. He would strategize as he observes its enemy's movements and weakpoints, waiting for the right moment to strike.

If the Baragon model is anything to go by, these give us a pretty good idea:

I dig Anguirus's design, but the tail seems too short. Varan is too red to be modernized in to the GMK-verse. He should at least have some characteristics of an iguana.

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...
