Love him, hate him, he's a renowned artist in this fandom, and it's time he got his own thread.

He Sucks!
Matt Frank is way better. :P
Did you think it would be that easy JVM? :lol:

Being serious though. I love his stuff.
I like the way he can make Godzilla look really great without exaggerating his proportions or colors that much.
He manages to give Godzilla a sense of character with the small details.
Something I rarely see from other artists.

What's not to love about Bob? Easily one of the best Godzilla artists ever.

I have no use for these digital copy/UV things, so I'll give codes away whenever I buy a disc. I currently have a code for Jurassic Park, PM me if you want it!

Bob is one of my all time favorite artists. He is a really nice guy too.

Plan on getting him on the Podcast soon.

Is there a Bob Eggleton database where you can view most (if not all ) of his art?
It's just too good!

Bob Eggleton's work is just plain awesome. The sci fi worlds, the kaiju, the crazy horror stuff, it's all just great and pleasing to look at. I don't care for dragons (unless it's Ghidorah or H.R. Pufnstuf) but they were still awesome to look at as well.

Totally psyched to get his cover for Godzilla Legends.

I love seeing Godzilla & co. painted like they're from old timey Paleontology books. He's pretty much the ultimate Godzilla artist.

He's probably the best Godzilla artist around, and my personal favourite. His covers for Random House were beautiful.

I figure it'd only make sense to put these up.

Here's a website dedicated to Bob himself, featuring alot of his excellent artwork.
http://www.bobeggleton.com/mainframe1.html

AND here's a blog that he occaisonally updates, mainly with pics.
http://bobsartdujour.blogspot.com/

Do take note: He's drawn Titanosaurus for Godzilla Legends #3 ...

Oh, and Happy B-Day to the fellow!

I'm like BFFs with him on Facebook.

I love his art. But what's more interesting than the art is the man himself.

Based off what he's said on his blog, he seems like a pretty worldly dude. Maybe even laid back.

Still, I don't much about him. But he does seem like a cool guy to hang out with. Am I wrong?
