Too thin, but there's a lot of interesting ideas going on here that I like.

Reminds me more of Shinomura, if anything. An interesting design for an original monster, but not Hedorah.

Ive seen that Anguirus go around for years. Definitely feels generic.

Ah one of the best. This design set me on the path of creating Godzilla Extreme. I've chatted with Bracey100 often, great guy.

Idk, his artstyle is certainly amazing, but none of his designs have any character to them. Anguirus doesnt even look like anguirus. Maybe some kaprosuchus kaiju, but not anguirus.

Hi it's me kaijuboi and I can answer why some of my designs are "questionable"
1. yes i agree anguirus looks like a crack addict you find in the back alley, he was ment to look rabid but you can tell how that turned out.
2. Gigan's design is something I have dread over, might try and fix it to look actual decent. The design was supposed to look different because other designs leaned too close to the actual desigs.
3. Same goes with zilla, it and minilla were made ugly as hell on purpose.
4. with godzilla I really wanted to enforce the whale like part of him of which makes up his name and stuff.

hope that answers your questions and I hope to bring you all more pain with these in the future.

Ooh, wasn't expecting you here. now i kinda feel bad

It's great that you're palnning on reworking your Gigan but I'd suggest doing the same to Godzilla as well to look a bit less like the recent Matt Frank version.

If you are honestly trying to make them bad on purpose, then I guess its all good. Kinda ruins the fun, but oh well.
If these are genuine serious redesign attempts then a lot of work is needed here.

Between Folly of Man and this, I think I prefer Gaira redesigns as oni now.

It's definitely a great way to divorce them from Frankenstein and not need him as necessary backstory.

Its also just more visually interesting. Considering how those two kaiju basically look identical its nice to have differentiation.

I think this might be one of my favorite Mechagodzilla fan-redesigns to date.

That Zilla redesign is easily my favorite. That thing is the definition of badass.

The Gargantuas look cool as oni! I take it the picture shows both Sanda on the left and Gaira on the right, based on their overall colors.
