Rejected Godzilla Concept Art

[SaiyanRider54]

^Fan made.

I figured Looked to much like this old one



I was releaved when this was revealed to be fan art.

Is Godzilla's dinosaur origins the reason why there's the obsession with bird-ifying Godzilla?

Seems like it.

Yep, which makes me tear out my hair in frustration. Just having him be a descendant of the ceratosaurs is apparently too hard to comprehend for some people.

This would have been an excellent design minus the feathers and orange/red streaks. And the tail, yeahhhh definitely would have to go.

[Tohosaurus]

To be honest, I'm expecting something like this. Not perfect and some people are going to complain about it, but then all of the Millennium suits were criticized in some fashion or another, so there will be naysayers no matter what they do. In the end it's still Godzilla, something G98 wasn't. I'm sure MF's work has be saturated on here, but I digress.

looks okay to me just shorten down the large dorsal spine and it will be perfect.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I love it, but I gotta agree and say the largest dorsal spine should be made smaller

I remember when I first saw this by the original creator and it didn't have the LP logo on it. Then some dumbass put on the LP logo and caused this huge mess of rumors.
I really don't like the design still. The bird stuff is REALLY stupid for Godzilla. Next your going to see the Big G with huge wings and beak so they can make him "realistic."

Yeah I hate it when people do that.

[Giga Kaiju]

@ Tohosaurus: That design looks average and some look like that or similar would be great just with some changes to the Spines and some changes of bulk here and there.

Didn't Bob Eggleton describe the concept art he saw being VERY VERY similar to the descriptions of that birdified Godzilla/SpaceGodzilla attacking the Statue of Liberty paintings?

I swear that artist is a legendary pictures artist. He even has a picture similar to the idea of pacific rim on his DA account labeled as "Concept Art"

When did Bob Eggleton say he saw concept art from the LP film?

Here...

This comes from artist and friend Bob Eggleton, during a conversation the two of us and several friends were having on FB last night...

"I saw one piece of concept art and they seemed to be going the direction of a Burning Godzilla...the spikes were all hot and on fire...All the concept art seems to show this thing that looks like Space Godzilla meets Burning Godzilla, a mountain of toxic waste and garbage with spikey things on it's arms, and burning back spikes."

He knows people in the industry and isn't the type to get thing wrong and certainly not the type to make things up. Concept art it may be, but it still gives us an indication of where LP may be going with the design.

He goes on to say...

"Everything I have seen indicates this as far as even "rejected" ideas on the web. All the ideas play up that he's glowing or fissioning in some way."

[Tohosaurus]

I do like the fission thing. It could make Godzilla truly dazzling to look at and give credence to his atomic background.

Yeah I do too but it seems a bit much for the first film. I mean it sounds like Burning Godzilla or some kind of super form. I'd rather save that for the final film assuming there is gonna be sequles and just go with normal Godzilla for the first film and save this for the final film (again assuming there's gonna be more like a trilogy).

This is a very fair criticism and one I've heard before when supporting a "Fission Godzilla". However, I would rather them do the best they can now rather than (theoretically) dumb down the design so that they can do something else later, especially with a movie that we have no idea on the chances of a sequel at this point. They can do a dying Godzilla in many ways, ways we haven't seen yet.

True but let's say this did become a trilogy. They missed out on the chance to make a "super powered form" for the final film because they already used the design from the get go and that makes it the norm for this incarnation.

In short, I see where both sides are coming from.

They did, although again I point to there being many ways for a super Godzilla to be born aesthetically. More fission, glowing spines, upgraded ray (spirals, coloration differences, etc), coloration, spike changes (size, shape, etc), additional horns/spikes, and on and on. There's a billion things and some of them could be used.

JMO, as I too see both sides and even agree with you. It's just that my other side outweighs it, especially as I want it to be the best it can be rather than leaving the door open for a sequel that may not happen. Production on this one hasn't even started!
