Description Just toying with some designs. These could have worked well as Neo concepts too

They are -
The Xillians - A race of humanoids who had long ago eschewed emotion for pure logic. However, instead of turning down a path of moderation and civility, they resorted to pure coldness. They see humanity as a threat, a race of half-monkeys with technology that far outstrips their ability to use it. Better to conquer them and put them in their place before they destroy the solar system.

The Kilaaks - Only a handful of these silicon-based life forms are left after their former planet was destroyed millions of years ago. Living in the warm cores of the floating asteroids, they have become obsessed with doing the work of their lord and eventual "savior," the mighty King of Terror...

The Nebulans - The little invasion that could! They are a shadow people, inheriting a planet that was barely usable, even for an insect. Now they're playing a game of chance with Earth, balancing their plan to wait out humanity's inevitable extinction with the desire to get a jump on things with their super-weapon, Gigan!

The Simians - These beings that arrive on Earth do not represent the majority of their race. They are arms dealers, military capitalists and black market entrepreneurs. Their home planet is slowly circling a black hole, and their plan is to conquer Earth, enslave the populace, and sell this broken (but functional) world to their leaders back home. Then they can retire to some moon to drink cognac and puff some fine cigars to their hearts' content.

I always thought it was odd the simians could create something as incredible as mecha-godzilla....but couldn't make some kinda world ship to move everyone to a new planet. Granted it'd be a dull movie, but still. XD

Great redesigns of the classic alien races of the Godzilla series (not Toho as a whole, lol). It'd be neat to see some Futurians and Millennians thrown in, but these guys work.

Dude, you need to work some of these ideas into the IDW comics, excellent revamps of classic Toho invaders! Will you be doing the Mysterians and Natarls as well?

KaijuSamurai In reply to KaijuDuke [2013-01-25 21:04:35 +0000 UTC]

I might come back around to the other races, but we actually can't use the classic aliens in the comics. It's a copyright issue.

Godzilla Legends used the Simeons and Miki Saegusa.

KaijuSamurai In reply to Kaijualpha1 [2013-01-26 00:28:39 +0000 UTC]

They didn't resemble the on-screen Simians and they are never referred to as "Simians" in the film. Plus Miki was in kind of a gray area, but it's generally discouraged.

Well, he did raise one point, and I have the entire Dark Horse comic series save for the Godzilla 1985 Manga adaptation/translation with only two issues in that collection. The aliens in the first 8 issues of the main series actually were the Black Hole Aliens, right down to their ape like design and back story. And I don't mean the 50 meter tall Dianii. Course, that was a different company and series, but as far as official aliens to me is concerned, they did appear in a comic series already. They never used the name Simians, but they obviously were.

Toho aliens have a tendency to seem interchangeable after so long, so these stylized designs really breathe a lot of life back into the old concepts.
I rather adore the burly, haughty simian, especially. He LOOKS like a pirate. Everything I need to know about him is thoroughly conveyed through the design.

I also love the kilaak. She's downright eerie, and arguably the most alien looking one, despite being fairly humanoid. It's the little things. Those eyes...

deadliestwarrior2 In reply to ??? [2013-01-25 19:25:41 +0000 UTC]

out of these four I think the simians look the best, plus they were in godzilla vs mechagodzilla so that gives them extra bonus points

Wait, what about the aliens from Terror of MechaGodzilla? They didn't look like apes when they took off their masks. they looked more like the mutants from Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Can't you draw them too?

KaijuSamurai In reply to HewyToonmore [2013-01-25 19:21:51 +0000 UTC]

They were supposed to be the Simians. They just changed the design because...that's what they did back then.

Add to that, yes, I remember them "Taking" their masks off in Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1974. Seen that one a lot too, the second film in the series I saw for the first time when I was a kid.

Autobot-Revimus In reply to KaijuSamurai [2013-01-26 04:22:44 +0000 UTC]

I must have seen Terror Of MechaGodzilla several times. At least, the US version. Would have remembered something like them taking off their masks though... Thought they decided to keep the Simians looking human for production reasons since they probably burned through a bit of cash in Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1974? Is there a scene from the Japanese version that I'm unaware of? Asking you because you're the big expert here.

Congratulations, you've managed to make the Kilaak's distinct and interesting. The refinement of the Simians and the Nebulans is also inspired, love that the Nebulans aren't just big D9-style Prawns. Great stuff!

And you know the Simians are real baddies, because they Gasp! Smoke cigars.
