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.

You should of got huge company recognition for these types of poster-figure display box style art! If I ran a major company,like
Bandia for instance,I have you as a chief designer. This is very ideal
To the Kaiju fandom,personally if I saw a box that looked like this with
The figure looking like this,I snag it up in a heart beat!

I love this version of Godzilla and your other monsters they are fantastic! If you don't mind me asking, do you have any plans to do other monsters like King Ghidorah or Gamera? Because that would be epic!

Amazing design, I can't figure out what I love best about it, though it would probably be his face! The legs could be a bit longer though. Other than that, absolutely stunning!

LDN-RDNT In reply to TheEmmaLo [2013-01-03 09:45:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! i liked his face too i made it very expressive or potentially at least. i have modified the design with longer legs in my recent work called 'g-day mate' posted in my featured gallery.

Looks like a mix of the original and Zilla from the american Godzilla film. He indeed looks amazing, Id personally just make him abut thinner and grow the limbs out abit, two inches on the scale shown more or less.

i m very happen when this amazing godzilla looks like your one.
is this the real ? i only heard that the new godzilla looks a little bit more "compact" ^^
but this is so because his tail is greater. the rest is not soo fat.

i can only say wow. great godzilla with a good mix between traditional and new elements.

You should send this to Legendary Pictures. It may give them ideas for a good Goji.
