MA Shin Godzilla Custom Update.


Distcription from Deviantart,

Its slowly coming along, but theres been a bit of a shake up ... So lets get to the bad news.

I tried coloring the eyes in and they looked great. Thing was the jaw piece wasnt put back in yet. So I got around to doing that ANNNNDDD ... Well, this was my minds reaction to what was the result ...

Seriously, it looked BAAAAD. It appeared as if ether one of 2 things. 1. He was about to fall asleep or 2. He was STONED. One of the two. So dam annoying after all that time spent on the eyes ;. So in the end I got the black marker pen and gave him shark eyes, jet black shark eyes.

So in short, this custom may no longer bear the Shin Godzilla name .

To be honest, I was on the verge of giving up. So I put the whole thing back together and just left it for a few days.

Jump to the 10th of January, when a few paints from Amazon arrived. I went to store them away in my wardrobe and low and behold, the Would be Shin Godzilla custom was staring at me. Giving it a good look, how it was had started to grow on me.

So heres the good news folks. Ive decided to make this custom my own design for Godzilla. I am still debating were as to add some spikes to it, but " Spikezillas " have been done to death. So I will see.

This means, the custom is all but done.

You know what, this makes me want to start on a custom figure. Turning the 6 inch Heisei Godzilla into the 91 Godzilla. Easy part being the eyes, hard part being the spines. After WoM is done of course.

I think Tamashii may end up releasing a Godzilla '89 to go with Biollante, well, if that ever sees the light of day that is..

It's always good to have a back up plan (especially if it doesn't cost you $80). Either way, I will (eventually) get a 89/91 Godzilla figure in the 6" range.

Sounds like a fun project Cmdmstudios. If you go ahead with it I wish you the best of luck.


Now, where was I? ...

I think its ready folks . Granted, its quite far off from "Shin Godzilla" but theres enough to make it stand out.
So after a bit of retouch work today, my first ever custom is complete ^^.

Tomorrow, It rises ...

[cmdmstudios]

That looks pretty badass. Congrats, man.

[Crimson_Raptor]

I'm excited to see it! Hey GIGAN05, can you put a link to your deviantart on your profile or signature maybe? That way we can keep up too?

[SpaceG92]

Awaiting the reveal with awe. I kinda felt sorry for the poor figure at first then read on seeing you gave new life into it.

Damn you GIGAN05 why do you toy with us.

Posted to not forget the unveil.

[SUPERTOHOREMIX]

The wait is over.

Gentlemen, I present to you my first ever custom. This is my own Godzilla design if you will.

GODZILLA - Q!





And just to prove that I was not lazy with the colors ...

I gave him "Great White Shark" eyes because of his connection with the sea. This tounge was also colored over to reflect this.

Believe it or not, theres a bit of color in his ridges that can only be seen with the right lighting.



Last but not least, the centre row of his tail spines & claws were painted in black. Just thought it would make Q stand out a bit more.




Godzilla Q in Action!






A side to side comparison with the original.






And as a thank you to everyone who supported this project:



Feedback would be really appreciated. Thank you everyone .

P.S The next custom may come sooner then you think .

[Mr. X]

That. Is. Epic!

Looks awesome, GIGAN! Very unique. Great job, dude!

[SpaceG92]

Amazing job! The skin is amazing, and the eyes really look good.

[MDK]

WOW!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!

[darkcancer]

The figure turned out really good. I like the choice of paint for the skin with the slight colors and the glossy look. And the spines look amazing.

[SpaceG92]

If you don't mind me asking, who did you come up with the name? Its interesting.

[Crimson_Raptor]

Absolutely breathtaking!

[SUPERTOHOREMIX]

It came from the Japanese word "Nijuu Kyuu" ( Which I believe is Japanese for 29? ). Q just had a nice ring to it when put with Godzilla.

Meanwhile in custom land ...


You see burning patches ...




Now you don't .

Stay Tuned!

I suspect it's a regularly-painted Godzilla using BG's mold. Am I right? Do I get a cookie?!?!

[Crimson_Raptor]

I suspect it's a regularly-painted Godzilla using BG's mold.

That would be freakin' awesome! The eyes will probably be the hardest part, followed by the fins, but I wonder what it would look like with Godzilla 1994 eyes swapped out in a picture? Like a proof of concept test?

I do find it rather amusing that Japanese Paints are being used to paint a Japanese Toy.

[goji89]

@GIGAN05 great job with your custom, splendid indeed.

A little suggestion here if I may, try an ivory paint for his fins

Forgot to mention the ivory is for the new custom your working on.
