Yeah the manes may have been a bit much, but I figured I'd try something I hadn't really seen on a Ghidorah before. Also figured since so many animals had huge amounts of fur/hair during the ice age, a creature that travels the cold reaches of space daily would have quite the coat lol
You welcome bro

A bunch old art of mine. These being my own spins on the various alien species featured in the films by Toho. All info about their reimagined origins all provided via the links w/ the images below. (From top to bottom, it goes from the newest to the oldest sketches). Would appreciate some feedback, thank you.

That is such an epic Gigan, and he keeps his Showa design as the base which is awesome

That Mechagodzilla is nuts. I actually really like it, though, and I think it could even be pretty intimidating in a soulless killing machine sort of way. I would just make the face a bit larger, make the tail a bit thinner, armor up the torso for defense (unless it relies on forcefields or self-repair or something), and decorate the chest plate a little for visual interest.

The design of MechaGodzilla reminds me of Doc Ock’s tentacles from “Into The SpiderVerse”.

While the art itself leaves much to be desired, there’s definitely a great basis and concept for a Hedo redesign there.

Honestly I think this is the best and most realistic design of Godzilla I have seen so far

Honestly, if I had full control of a Godzilla movie, this is what I would have him look like.

Thanks I know the art isn’t the best it’s been a while since I drew anything

I think the idea for the eyes to split is that they are half eyes and half mouths to shoot the hedrium ray

Y’know, I would really love to see some Zone Fighter kaiju redesigns. There’s a ton of things you could do with them, but ZF isn’t what anyone would call “well known”, so it’s understandable why there hasn’t been much

Literally the only one i could find was a dopepope sculpt of Spylar

I combined the big 3 of the primate world. An Orangutan, a Gorilla, and a Baboon all combined into one. A wisened peak performance Eighth Wonder of the World, a Missing Link, between species long thought unrelated. Folks I give you, my King Kong.

(And yes my lil Ann redesign is supposed to be somewhat of a primate enthusiast, and she has a little partner monkey who she takes everywhere, until one day a film crew comes up to her and asks her if she could act in a movie they're planning.. On Skull Island. She says yes, with her only request being that she can take her lil Moko with her.)

That's pretty good! A baboon Kong is definitely an interesting concept.
