Description
This is the sketch that will become my Anguirus Resurrection. This will change a lot before I finalize it, but here it is. On a midly sad note I have misplaced my sketchse of Rodan 2.0 and Kumonga. I wanted to post them all and get everyone's thoughts. Oh well, maybe they will turn up before I get to their ref-sheets.Any suggestions are welcome.

I'm not one to recklessly over-exaggerate, so when I say this is probably THE best redesigns of Anguirus I've seen, I certainly mean it (and it's just a sketch!)
The stance and the proportions are just perfect; he looks like an underdog ready for a fight and that's the charm of Anguirus and it's captured very well here.
Can't wait to see the final product!

Comparing your prototype to GS's version, I'd say the differences in facial/beak structure, tail-club spikes, and leg posture are pronounced enough to readily separate 'em. And yes, the crown certainly helps.
Interesting note/choice regarding the jaw structure & teeth...lending Anguirus hyena-class bite force definitely adds to his already nasty melee repertoire.

I was thinking about hyenas as well

Definite anklyosaur/horny-toad vibe...neither of which is a bad thing here. Limbs are well-proportioned; the stance indicates a respectable level of agility/flexibility; that tail-mace certainly looks the part...and I dig the old-school Anky 'crown' lining Ang's cheeks & back of the skull.
At this point I have two suggestions: (a) make the upper teeth (especially the canines) more pronunced, and (b) add some form of nasal horn, as already noted. Perhaps a dual set of small, outwardly-canted horns behind each nostril?

I like the cheek horns. It is really difficult to make an ankylosaur based anguirus that doesn't seem like a rip off of GodzillaSamurai's version. I thought going with the cheek horns and a more ankylosaurs head would acheive that.
That being said, I think I have taken out tom much of what Anguirus is. I plan on adding a nasal hoen and lengthening the snout.
I hadn't thought of 2 nasal horns - I'll see wha tit looks like.
Finally, the large teeth aren't actually teeth, but modified skull/horns that basically serve the same purpose (like a turtle). The rest of teh teeth will be more like crushing molars than flesh ripping sabers.

Very cool! I agree with kaijulord though, he needs his nose spike!

I'm planning in adding to the final

add a nose horn and make the spines more pronounced on the shoulders but as long as you make him Godzilla's friend i will be pleased.

You know when I drew this I wanted to make it more like an ankylosaur than the original and I had really wanted to change the head and teeth to be more ankylosaur-like. However, now that I posted it I think I need to add in some more monster. I will definitely add the horn back and I am planning on enlongated the snout as well. Thanks for the comments.
Anguirus is still Godzilla's friend, I have the draft bio up in previous post.

looks like a very unique take on angurius. I know that it is still based on ankylosaur body type and and such, but your has its own flavor. I like it.

Thank you, that is exactly the look I'm trying to achieve.

Wow. Anguirus looks pretty darn good here. He looks more like an ankleosaur, but still keeps the sorta croc-snouted look of the beast we all know and love. I absolutely love the way his head looks. I can't wait to see how he looks when you finish.

Thanks, I just wish I had time to finish it soon, but it will be awhile. I was, like everyone else, going for the ankylosaur look, but I wanted it to still be a monster.

He looks like a horny toad, combinded with AWESOME!

haha thanks! I've always wanted a horny toad for a pet. I actually did develop kaiju based ona hirny toad as a child - I had completely forgotten about that. i was going more for the ankylosaur look, but the all the spikes do make it look a little a horned toad.
