I'd say:
- Mike Mognola. See what kind of pulp inflence we'd get then.
- David Krentz (Dinosaur Revolutiuon, Primal, Disney Dinosaur)
- Moebius

He did some kaiju artwork a little while back, not really redesigns though, but I'd thought I'd share incase you weren't aware.

Some of those Mignola sketches (He did a bunch more if you go digging) -
- Godzilla
- Ultraman
- Harryhausen
- Gamera

Anyway, if I was somehow in charge of a project, I would definitely reach out to -
- William Stout
- Geof Darrow
- Wayne Barlowe
- Bob Eggleton
- Arthur Adams
- Ricardo Delgado
- Matt Frank

Basically a bunch of artists I really admire that are familiar with/have prior experience with the character (or at least the genre).

I'd be interested in seeing what a Kentaro Miura Godzilla would look like. He draws excellent fantasy creatures.

It would be like Shin Godzilla, but somehow even more Lovecraftian and somehow would look even bigger lol

Oh, I would love to see that. Like Shin Godzilla but even weirder and twisted.

Though then we get a bunch of Godzilla vs. Sirenhead jokes

Before, I brought up the aspect of Genndy Tatakovsky helming a Godzilla animated series. I stand by the notion of him doing his take on the character.

Yoshiki Takaya. Love his designs for The Guyver and always wondered what a Godzilla by him would look like.

I feel like Matt Frank shouldn't count because he not only has redesigned Godzilla countless of times but has even gotten one of his designs to be put in an official comic (as a cameo, but it still counts).
