Did a random sketch of Bagan's head, based mostly off of the white Bagan concept from Godzilla Movie Studio Tour, but with my own twist:

What do you guys think?

Poor Bagan. He really deserves to show up again one day.

Pretty cool! You kept the core elements of the face (mostly just the giant nasal horn and two curved head horns), and that's usually good enough for me :P What was the primary influence behind the more fanged, leaner face?

It's sort of a style thing with me. A lot of monsters/creatures I draw usually have pointed features around the jaw/face, with large teeth that look like they can tear a large chunk of flesh off. I really like making my drawings look ferocious.

Two more Gugenheim redesigns:

Really liking this take on Zedus, the emphasis on more lizard-like qualities is very nice.

The mane is a really nice addition to the design, though i can see why it wouldn't have been possible for Singular Point, it would have been hell to animate. Also really like the detail that Gabara, who a fictional kaiju used as an Anti-Bullying Mascot in-universe, was modelled off Salunga (https://www.deviantart.com/gugenheim98/ ... -875037783).

I coulda sworn Gugenheim already did Zedus.

Anyways, Salunga looks great.

Salunga really giving off serious Blangonga/Rajang vibes.

SpaceDragon14's been doing a lot of unconventional Godzilla redesigns and this newest one is one of my favorites.

Okay, I like this. It’s maybe my favorite recent redesign.

All I’d change are the dorsal plate’s exact shape, but that’s just nitpicking.

That design will be right at home in Singular Point.

Nah, SP's designs are out there but not THAT out there. At least SP stays true to the characters. I do like the ideas presented, and in the context of a "scientifically accurate" Godzilla, I guess its ok. Not the best Ive seen but far from the worst.

^Speaking of scientifically accurate Godzilla, here's my (mostly) finalized redesign of my Godzilla.

Look how far I've come from when I first posted it. I've took criticism to heart and worked the extra mile to re-do it almost completely.

I don't see how it's taking criticism to heart if you chose to ignore most of it. Sure, it's marginally better than it was before, but it's still mostly the same design. You only really took the criticism on the head, thankfully, and the head here looks amazing. Thats a great Godzilla face. But the body and limbs were the biggest issue, and you didn't really change it much at all, and as such it still doesn't really look like Godzilla.

IDK, it doesn't really feel naturally integrated here. It looks like a chimera, like a bunch of different animal traits were slapped together and not naturally evolved like that. Not giving me Godzilla vibes at all.

Perhaps one day I could take note from that other picture and give him a whole new body while keeping the head the same.

You're welcome to but you don't have to. Ultimately my criticisms are my opinions and you do what makes you happy.

He needs to eat something, badly.
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...
