I like James Stokoe as well.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

I took a little time to check over some of the art that y’all shared in this thread!

JNavs: I like that you’re thinking outside of the box with your kaiju redesigns. Seeing Kong as anything other than a thinly veiled gorilla is always fun. And I don’t think I’ve seen a super furry Ghidorah before! I can tell you’re still just starting out so try to study anatomy and perspective, that’ll help your work tremendously down the line. The more you draw the better you’ll get at it. You’d probably like Lenny Romero’s extreme shading techniques as well (the King Caesar reminded me a bit of his), so check him out on Instagram.

Executive Hamster: A fellow Art Adams student, I see! I can see some really solid foundations here. AND you’re experimenting with markers too! Your original Godzilla design is simple but kinda fun - that big beefy head and crocodile tail are cool. The spines feel a little brittle/not super well balanced but I like where your head’s at, kinda imagining them like giant machetes! Like JNavs I’ll recommend anatomy and perspective study, it’ll improve your work. Check out some of Shinji Nishikawa’s marker work, and I mean REALLY study it. Look for where his individual marker heads cross and blend with each-other, you’ll get a lot out of that.

General Greasy (Breakdown): this one surprised me! I like the original concept and worldbuilding a lot! I can tell you’ve got a lot of cool ideas and are bursting at the seams to get them out of your head.
If your goal is more advanced 3D modeling, don’t be afraid to get your hands on some actual Scupley modeling clay and play around with it - it’ll give you a major appreciation for digital sculpting. As for your drawings, anatomy will help you tremendously, especially if you’re going for body horror. Check out some actual die-hard anatomy books on animals and people. And maybe grab one of Burne Hogarth’s books (or several), he’s a master of dynamic anatomy!

Let's try and move the art discussion to a different topic if we can. Think we've derailed this one long enough!

That’s fair! Anyone who wants me to look over their stuff can DM me on Twitter (spankzilla85) or Instagram (mattzilla85) and I’ll get around to it when I can!

It's just up and coming artists seeking advice and constructive criticism from someone who got successful in the art industry. While it may be off-topic, there's nothing inherently cringy about that.

It's a joke...? Like scenes at the end of kids cartoons where the characters say in jest something and everyone laughs along.

Anyone remember Zillagod? Old Mid 2010s youtube Godzilla drama.

I used to be deep in that part of the fandom, and my sworn enemies were the biggest Zillagod proponents. Mike Cassidy, Mike Caswell, Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Paris Murphy and Casey Thorne. Those names send shivers down my spine to this very day.

Never forget my homie Carboot studios though.

No because I wasn’t a part of it. But I would be very much interested to hear what happened?

Basically Zillagod was a fake character/movie based on Godzilla 1998’s son. Supposedly, the mentioned people had information about this movie and would post “trailers” and clips of the movie. And on every post would be a war in the comments between the Zillagod fans, lead by the two Mike’s and Casey and team Godzilla, lead by Carboot Studios, Da appy Ork and myself.

We had many arguments in the comments, and it was very fun to get so riled up over obvious trolls. The Zillagod kids also had a weird obsession with the Rhedosaurus, Gorgo, and the hatred of Togo’s “Gayzilla”.

It was really big around 2017 and 2018 and has died down ever since. Last time I talked with Casey Thorne was probably some time in 2020.

Really nostalgic times.

Yes, I remember that! Nerfman’s last video was on them if I remember correctly.

What's cringe is there's a community on Twitter selling NFTs that are literally just recolored Godzillas under the totally original name Godjira.

I've done a bit of a deep dive with this; there's a ton of this shit out there.
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...
