I like it as its own design but not as Godzilla. Looks like it could appear in a sequel to Rampage.
why did i have to be the chosen one?

From the artist behind that massive kaiju size chart you might've seen -

Honestly that looks like it could be the start of a pretty cool Varan redesign.
I actually really like that design. Yeah, it's just a bipedal iguana, but there's just something about it that I find pretty cool.
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...

It's a cool design for it's own Kaiju (and it does look Rampage-esque like said before), but it's literally just a big, bipedal Iguana. Defenitely no Godzilla, that's for sure :lol:

Too be fair, they could be basing the design off of his statue.

Atleast this design sort of resembles a lion, which is one of the inspirations for the shisa statues...i've seen some redesigns that turn him into a WOLF out of all things. what's the connection exactly :lol:

Well, the Shisa satue is supposed to be a cross between a lion and a dog. And, as we all should know, dogs are an evolutionary bi-product of wolves due to several thousand years of breeding.
Well, that's certainly a thing.

I guess that's a valid reason, for some reason I forgot the statues were partially based on dogs...I still don't get why turn him into a generic wolf, but I guess it's the usual reason of "moar realistic" :lol:

This dude dreserves a medal just for that Godzuki :lol:

But in all seriousness, I actually like that Godzilla. I love the crocodilian, semiaquatic nature he has. The flat tail is a rather nice touch.
The rest are cool too, they have a nice aesthetic to them. Kong is basically the SI design, which I like for not being just a giant gorilla. the only ones that imo could have been better are Angurius and Varan (I feel that both of them are kinda overdone here).

Here's another realistic-styled Rodan to go with the one from the previous post:

Mothra and Gezora are the only good ones
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

Baragon is kind of cool. I'd tone down the spikes a little, but the 'living rock' thing actually works well for him.

Mothra is the only solid design there. Rodan is...passable. Baragon, with some retooling, could work. Varan, Godzilla, and Anguirus are absolutely horrible. Kong is just...normal. And Godzuki doesn't exist. :)

This Godzilla design is pretty solid. I like the jaws/teeth, the colored area of his throat, beard-like spikes, webbed toes showing off his amphibious nature, dorsal plates and his long thick muscular tail. The arms could be a bit more muscular though.... But other than that it's fine by me. :thumbsup:

Anguirus and Titanosaurus by kingrexy. I like the nodosaur influences on the first one, and using the new reconstructions of Spinosaurus as a basis for the Titano one is quite interesting.
