Description Mysterious Monster
GODZUKI

HEIGHT: 3 meters

MASS: 2 tons

BIO:
The world of kaiju is a strange, strange one indeed. Many mysteries exist and haunt the corners of the realm of such a small, wondrous world of ours.
No GODZILLA, as far as science is concerned, ever conceived children or gave birth. Where exactly other Godzillas, such as GODZILLA JUNIOR, came from is still open to debate. What's even MORE of a head-scratcher, however, is the story of GODZUKI, otherwise known as "Godzilla's Nephew," an appropriate nickname, at least.
The small monster has been something of a Sasquatch or Watchuka of the psuedo-field of Monster Hunting, and one of Dr. Quinn Darian's many subjects. Chasing after various monster hints and tips abord The Calico, Dr. Darian, Captain Carl Majors, her nephew Pete and her assistant Brock had one day come across the small kaiju, stuck in a dead, collapsed reef while researching under water. Freeing it with their mini-sub, Pete dubbed the creature "Godzuki," but it didn't stick around for pleasentries. Fleeing the scene, Godzuki did nothing less than take to the air! Flying east, the team followed the smallish kaiju among the islands to the Southern Pacific..and nearly gave up when they became sidetracked by an SOS from the small island called Selga...

ABILITIES/ASPECTS:
- Can breath a stream of radiactive fire...on occasion.
- Powered flight
- Origin is completely unknown.
- Able to understand human speech on a limited level.

From campy flying turd to reptilian cryptoid missing link of the Godzilla family...I'm cool with that . Colors may be a tad 'bright' but being of tropical origin it doesn't surprise me. Next up are the mushroom people eh? Wonder how thats going to turn out.

I didnt think it was possible, but you made Godzuki actually pretty dang cool and keep some semblance of continuity to it (what little background there is). For some reason I can see a mixture of alot of other Kaiju in here. Rodan (obviously) wings and body, Zilla for the neck head and forehead spines, Godzilla for the back spine and hind legs, and Anguirus gives the club tail (partially). Hmmm, very strange...and cool at the same time. Awesome job KS!!

I would never have thought anyone could make this misbegotten son of the kaiju world look good, but I should've known better than to underestimate you. The little guy looks amazing, and the descriptive text is great as always.

And did I read that right? The next subject to receive the Neo treatment will be the titular fungus of Toho's brilliant adaptation of William Hope Hodgson's The Voice in the Night? Fantastic! That's always been one of my favorites, and I can't wait to see your interpretation. You really are tackling the whole Toho repetoire, aren't you?

yaburu78 In reply to ??? [2009-04-13 18:12:35 +0000 UTC]

Isn't the spelling "Godzookie" or "Godzooky," something like that?

As for the design...Eh. Something about it makes me cringe. Sucks all the cheesy charm out of Zooky.

Dinalfos5 In reply to ??? [2009-04-13 17:29:57 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, very interesting concept. One does wonder just how he ended up with wings like those of a pterasaur when Godzillasaurus is a Therapod. What is he, a hybrid with a Rodan? Those crests and that colouration is very interesting indeed.

Mecha-GREGOLE In reply to ??? [2009-04-13 16:59:28 +0000 UTC]

I was VERY curious about how you were going to handle this one. The original just conflicts with your style so much, it was bound to be unusual.

But I think you did a pretty good job of conveying the character in your own style without any major changes.

I've always liked Godzuki. I'm sure the majority of fans hate him, but dammit, the HB cartoon was the Godzilla I knew best in my youth, so I grew attached to it.

It all flows together rather nicely. I see an odd balance between the original's chubbiness, and the lightweight frame one would need for flight. The use of a long neck is also surprising, but oddly fitting. I guess it wasn't as noticeable in the cartoon's style.

One thing catches my eye though. The lines on this one appear thinner and ziggier. Was it rushed, or is your inking tool running out of ink or what?

Wow. I almost didn't recognize him. He does look a bit more...Gojiran. Or just imagine Jr. with Rodan's wings.

Matango? This'll be interesting.

Fuck. YES. I am in love with you sir! I want to have your baby! Of course that is biologically immpossible though it would be an amazing instance in the field of biochemistry. Either way, I love you!

I like the colors used and the head spikes combined with the expression give Godzuki a real "surfer dude" feel.

Of all the redo's I thought I'd never see...this was on top of the list. With that said, I expected even less to like the redo better than the original version...but here it is! Wonderful new take on Godzuki, although I do with you would have gone further in depth with his origin.

Still, nicely done!

AlmightyRayzilla In reply to ??? [2009-04-13 15:31:48 +0000 UTC]

I always considered Godzuki's species to be a separate, yet close relative of Godzilla, explaining the slight similarities (fins and such) and "verbal" interaction.

Anywho, nice use of color. Looks very vivid.
