I like this, it's very similar to a Mondo Gill-Man poster for the Universal Monsters art show! Great work!

Interesting how you made his face more fish-like rather than the classic look

By far the best redesign of one of my favorite movie monsters. A realistic blend of humaniod and fish, that stills looks and feels like the original monster.

Thank you very much. I started sketching this while watching the film, which I believe to be one of, if not THE, Best 50's monster movies ever. The suit is just spectacular, but it just wasn't quite fishy enough for me, so I amped it up a tad.

your palentological art is also very nice.

Great redesign! I especially like the hands and feet. Any particular reason you did this? Or was it just for fun?
