Description
I haven't done a picture of a Kaiju in quite a while. This is a picture of my version of Manda for a future Fanfiction I am working on. This is an bit of a redesign based on the last pictue I did of her.She is less like an Oriental dragon, and instead is based more on the traditional form of Manda as seen in the movies, but still has my own touch to the design. Manda is still long and serpintine, but she has long legs and is well suited for walking on land as well as swimming in the sea. I only managed to fit the front half of her in the picture, her body would go way off beyond the page.
For those who don't know, Manda was a very large dragon who first appeared in the Japanese movie Atragon, and was portrayed as the guardian God of the ancient sunken empire of Mu. Manda fought the advanced War Submarine Atragon, but was defeated by the sub's freez ray. Another Manda later appeared in the movie Destroy All Monsters, and was shown destroying Tokyo alongside Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra when under the mindcontrol of the Alien Kilaaks. Lastly, Manda appeared in the movie Godzilla: Final Wars during the first few minutes, and fought against the advanced war craft Gotengo, but was once more taken out the craft's freeze ray and was then shattered by the craft's drill.
In my Fanfiction story, on which I have yet to decide a final title, Manda is once more the guardian of the undersea kingdom of Mu. But this kingdom is long sinse dead and abondoned by its people, even though all its treasures and wonders still remain. Manda takes action when Gigan, an Kaiju created by the same ancient empire appears near its city, but this time controled by an outside entity seeking to gain entrance into the city. Eventually Manda and Gigan fight in a massive melee with other Kaiju over the fate of the city.

Well, I believe so, in the fact that most Kaiju are male by default. But speciffically my version of Manda for this paticular story is female.

She's very pretty, and has a bit of a graceful look about her ^-^

The colour is lovely, very tropical fish like, but I think she looks a bit bulky. Still, it is after all a redesign.

Oh thank you, glad you like the colors. Yeah, she is supposed to be bulky, supposed to look taller and stronger and a little shorter rather then long and skiny.

I don't remember if I've asked this before, but what exactly is a Kaiju?

Well, simply put, Kaiju is a Japanese word for Giant Monsters and the like, such as Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan or Gamera. Most have immense size and can be anywhere between 30-120 meters in size and weigh several Dozen, Thousand Tonns.
