Description Godzilla / ゴジラ

ZBrush 4, Photoshop CS4, Vue 8, Photography
Sculpting Approx 40-60 hours, Photoshop works 10-12 hrs


The model used here is the same as used from ([link] ) the one affectionately nicknamed Fatzilla or Lardzilla by some. This presentation is created to give the design a closer look, where as the one in the link is part of my fan art series monster profiles.

The Godzilla character has changed over the years, from being man made disaster to an environmental friendly monster. From an anti hero to saviour of earth. From being creature who became a father figure to becoming a supernatural creature who is brought to life by angered spirits.
His appearance has also changed but he's always retained the distinct mutated heavily scaled dinosaur look with spiky dorsal fins (or spines) and a long powerful tail.
His size has fluctuated over the years from 50m tall to becoming 100m then 55 then back up to 100. His abilities and weaknesses have also varied over time.

As an artist, i took the freedom to design and create my version of this popular Japanese iconic monster, but also keeping the key characteristics that make a Godzilla design.

The design is heavily inspired from the Heisei Godzilla Suit (1990s). It is the Godzilla that i grew up with, as an artist. I admired his size, power, his unique proportions, the super long heavy tail (that constantly moves as if it had its own mind, perhaps its his 2nd brain (GvsMGII)), the facial expressions...The texture and armor is influenced from crocodilians and The Millennium G-Suit (2000), a sea-monster inspired creature design. The anatomical base structure is heavily drawn from theropod fossils, as Godzilla is a dinosaur. I have deliberately chosen to avoid the 'humanoid' rubber dinosaur suit direction that we are all so familiar and accustomed to, which the Japanese are the pioneers and ultimate masters of the daikaiju genre.

As always I appreciate your time and effort taken in leaving any comments and criticisms.

A monster? No a God! Ok references aside I love what you did with him/her/it/El Chubacabra You gave Goji a sense of power and its hide looks impenetrable! I love how dragonic he looks and I am a fan of spikiness!

this is pretty wild, but you should find and make a team to make an epic fan made game starting off with just godzilla and anguirus and slowly update with more characters and stages to fight in. maybe even a campaign mode like in godzilla unleashed

JUST A WILD IDEA

This Godzilla looks like it might be able to actually swim, which is fantastic since Godzilla is supposed to live underwater. Its great to see a Godzilla design that's freed of the restraints of having a guy in a suit, but is still faithful to the spirit of the original.

We're you going for a dragon type or dinosaur type design either way he looks awesome but it's hard to tell where his dorsal fins are they look kinda small to me have ya thought of making them bigger and more menacing but overall one of my fave designs of the king

LDN-RDNT In reply to KaijuMaster107 [2014-05-01 06:51:24 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for late reply.

going for a more dinosaurish design. the dorsal fins i made smaller but chunkier to give a 'non' fragile fin look.

Thanks!

anyway, yes of course i like the original design. thats where i based the design from.

SCP-682Hatena In reply to LDN-RDNT [2014-02-27 02:09:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. What I meant was the original posture. Without it, Godzilla just looks like a giant, spiny poop that was painful to deuce out.

LDN-RDNT In reply to SCP-682Hatena [2014-03-03 01:29:50 +0000 UTC]

all godzilla designs look like spiny poop…. what i mean is, you think if a good godzilla design comes out your ass, you think it'll come out smooth and painless?


i really dont know who makes official rules in designing godzilla…


its just a concept man.

SCP-682Hatena In reply to LDN-RDNT [2014-03-03 23:07:56 +0000 UTC]

No, like the original designs ARE NOT spiny poo. They are like spiny slices of heaven.
