Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
I've had the idea of Jet Jaguar being a melee juggernaut for quite a while now but it seems like TrenchKaiju beat me to realizing it.

It looks alright I suppose, head looks kinda goofy but the rest isn't that bad but that good either.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
That’s a big ol’ creepy Cheshire grin. Not sure how I feel about that exaggerated smile on JJ. I like how yoked the design is, though.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
Here is my take on the Rhedosaurus, aka the beast from 20,000 fathoms!
https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerprod ... -940431924
I lifted inspiration from an assortment of the Triassic wildlife, w/ the new idea here being the Rhedosaurus was one of those weird experimental lifeforms that sprouted up following the Permian extinction event. It’s coloration meant to resemble black and white film, as well as being the typical colours of aquatic life. It’s tail fluke based off the marine reptile, the mososaurs, and an update of that detail from the original: https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/File:Rhedosaurus.png

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
Courtesy of Japanese artist yuA, we have some really cool takes on Zaragas and Neronga. The latter design has an WIP 3D model but I have chosen not to show it since it isn't finished.

Those are awesome, Zaragas is my favorite - it just does him really well imo.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
Not a big fan of either of them, Ghidorah feels just too alien for it's own good and has tiny wings, not to mention - why mouth-feet?? the idea of the 3 heads basically only being one could be cool for some sort of clone ghidorah meant to look like one, but for actual ghidorah it kinda ruins it, but that's just me.
And Zilla/Godzilla(i'm not even sure which one it is) just looks way too crunched up to really get an idea of the proportions or if its either Godzilla or Zilla. also the base of the tail feels way too big, it's like he'd have a hard time even standing up,
The v2 of that Rodan design up there looks pretty cool - just feel like the eyes look a bit big but that's my only complaint and it's more of a nitpick.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
Godzilla is giving huge Gogmazios vibes, and Ghidorah is enjoyably alien. Very good designs imo.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
The designs are really good, I will say, but Ghidorah's definitely doesnt fit Ghidorah very well. I think too many people get caught up in the whole alien part and less on the dragon part, which Ill say is more important.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
The Ghidorah I actually dig— the alien aspect is turned up to 11, and somehow it’s unsettlingly smooth in texture. More reptilian elements and some jagged edges could help, but it might also compromise how peculiar and unearthly it looks.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
I like how according to the descriptions, these are both clones of the true Ghidorah, one made by the Xiliens and one by the Kilaaks. Its a neat way to do the "Ghidorah as mind controlled alien weapon" and the "Ghidorah as apocalyptic cosmic horror" plots at the same time.
The designs are great too, very nice blending of Ghidorah as an alien and as a dragon, so many designs can't get the balance right.

All the fan art that expands multiple generations like this really makes me sad we don’t have much direct Toho media outside of comics that really capitalised on how cool and expansive the ip is.

Re: Best and Worst Kaiju Redesigns
There can be a balance, but for my personal taste Im a bit of a purist and I think a lot of people go too far into the alien territory.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 5:26 pmWho says there can’t be a balance to be struck?Executive Hamster wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 7:04 pm The designs are really good, I will say, but Ghidorah's definitely doesnt fit Ghidorah very well.
