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.

I heard some people actually tried to film it and got kicked out, so security there is pretty tight. I saw a picture of what Godzilla is supposed to look like, and I must say there are a fair few similarities.

It's nothing much, just a silhouette of his head. Here's the link: [link] The trailer itself was supposed to be awesome.

LDN-RDNT In reply to GodzillaLAX [2012-07-14 05:18:10 +0000 UTC]

He gets ganged up by 3 mechs, he charges his nuclear pulse and the mechs all got thrown by the pulse explosion.

LDN-RDNT In reply to SkateLabProductions [2012-07-23 01:44:11 +0000 UTC]

might be because GMK godzilla is also heavy built, and has an angry face.

This would have been a hot concept for the 1998 American Godzilla film, had its creators used alittle creative imagination. awesome job on this.

All I can say is WOW!The best Godzilla I like has come to be the 2000 one its the most believable looking.Has thr most dinosaur look to it yet having more than enough Godzilla to it.But yours is great,for me I would remove the small spike like from the underside of tail.Make it a little flater also on the underside. But hey I can live with it.Is this Gojia going to be produced as a model?It should,its the best thing for Godzilla I havs seen.This I can see being the new Godzilla and it being the one and only for along time.If you didn't show the movie makers this,than why the hell not ha ha.Thank You

polzak In reply to ??? [2012-03-07 07:43:01 +0000 UTC]

I really have no words,only that for me I thought Godzilla 2000 was the best.As a beast the look was the most believable.The most dinosaur looking but having all the Godzilla look there yet.What you came up with as said no words but WOW!Only thing I see is how his tail is underneath. I would take away the small spike like tips and not have where you see the underside from a side view.But I could more that live with it.Are you producing this Gojira if so how much.Please let me know,a big fan of your work.

WOW! Thank you for appreciating the design! truly appreciate the comment man.

I havent tried 3D printing yet. takes some technical knowledge and finance to produce it. I am considering, I shall let you know if that happens.. one day. Also considering sculpting it, but i dont have enough reproducing skills.

Lordoffantasy In reply to ??? [2012-02-27 01:20:56 +0000 UTC]

it doesn't look fat at all to me. it looks immensely physically powerful. all that extra size is raw, solid muscle.

LDN-RDNT In reply to Lordoffantasy [2012-03-03 04:35:03 +0000 UTC]

i guess i may have misused the word fat, but i do like your observation and is close to what i really meant. maybe chunky is a better word.

thanks.
