Description
So to tie in with the Godzilla fanfiction that I am working on, I decided to draw the Godzilla featured in my story. Inspiration for this guy was drawn from the Original, Heisei, and Legendary. After looking at him now, I can see some similarities towards the Final Wars Godzilla. His height is roughly 80 meters all. The attack and defense are standard for Godzilla's. It should also be noted that this Godzilla doesn't possess the Red Spiral Ray.Related content

I assume that you went for a bit of a "Godzilla" copy, but mixed in a bit of a hybrid, so amazing job on the originality! I believe that had a good vision when you created this piece, because you managed to complete it and color it. Although your technique could use some work in the anatomy of the creature, the way you detailed and colored the spikes on the back very nicely cut through the grey background. The shading in the ear looks very well done, however it could be a little more proportional. The tail doesn't seem to curve naturally, but the way the underbelly continues throughout shows good attention to detail. Although I'm not sure what impact you're trying to create, I see a lot of talent and drive to draw. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for your informative feedback. Yeah, the ear, tail, and hands didn't come out too good. He's not really a hybrid in any way. I was primarily going for a sort of adolescent look. Have you seen Godzilla vs Destroyah?

i haven't, but im sorry for the mistake of thinking it was a hybrid, it's really a great drawing!

I can see this ins not a full out art piece and I shall analyse it as a concept.
Coloring the spikes on the back breaks the white background enough to see this is not transparent, nice touch.
The character may be known as a giant and it can be drawn as one. Drawing a a character in certain way can either make seem teller to smaller. It all boils down to perspective. Hands need a bit of work and (I can tell this was not done a perfectly flat table) the lines are quite jagged.
Spikes on head look good, back spikes are well defined and even though this may be a concept, it can be a great reference in upcoming drawings.
Great job.

You are right, I should've put some perspective in there. Those hands...I need to work on them. Thank you for your feedback.

Originally I was gonna say the appearance didn't seem accurate to the Godzillas I knew of, who often appeared chunkier and more slouched and I didn't remember the nose and ears looking like that, but I looked up some images, and yes, this does look a lot like Final Wars and some other versions, so youre good there. The eye might be too big though, from the images I've seen, his eyes tend to be smaller and almost at a squint. The spines on his back and tail are also usually more multidirectional, and not so straight as you've drawn them.
But more importantly, is the overall flatness of this picture. The fingers ought to be more curved or bent to show where they are going. The lines of the tail segments should also be more curved, especially when the tail is pointed towards or away from the viewer. Shading and light direction is also a must for creating a sense of depth in a figure. You should really start studying up on those things.
And something else shoulda been done with the pose, instead of just standing there straight up. doesn't necessarily have to be an action scene, but you could have him walking, looking at something, leaning. But since this is more like a concept drawing, I guess its a moot point.
So, the basic appeareance is mostly good, I like how you did all those little bumps on his head and on his outline. But mainly, you need to work on poses and looking more three dimensional.

As far as all-out traditional art goes, this is some of the best I've ever seen. I like how you drew each aspect of Godzilla, especially the legs, the claws and the tail. I also like the way you drew the spikes on his back. And this is coming from someone who has a difficult time with traditional art. It looks very spontaneously drawn, but in a good way, like you decided to set aside everything you were doing and devote your time to perfecting Godzilla's look in this image. Everything's so perfectly proportioned, as most of this stuff is so difficult to draw and the lineart you drew really adds to the detail. I also love the choices of colors you added to this image.

I greatly appreciate your complements. But this picture has several flaws. Like those darn fingers.

The fingers might be a little flawed, but it's really not that bad to be honest.

And I suppose the tail looks like it is turning toward the viewer, but thank you.

...why do I have an odd feeling that this is sarcastic praise?

Maybe you just don't feel the confidence you should. I'll be honest, I did this for the rules of but I picked this because it reminds me of when I drew pictures like these. And again, I'm telling the truth about this being a very good traditional piece. I always have a bitch of a time doing traditional art, and your drawing was a more successful step in that direction.

Thats not mine.
And anyways I've seen lots of traditional work way better than this flat thing. I've moded for a Traditional group for years for one thing.
I'm really not seeing how you thinks its the best of anything, the reasons you gave don't make much sense. You like the colors for instance? Its mostly grey with yellow spines, and its not very strong neither.
But what do I know, MY critique got rejeected for "not being objective". Me, I just think he's too sensitive. -_-

I won't write on the critique thing 'cuz I dont think I will reach 100 words
But I will give my observations
I like the spikes at his back
I think that the tail its very thick, and the belly is very thin.
And the last I have, is that you shouldn't remark too much the edge.

Thank you for your input, but I don't understand that last comment. Can you elaborate?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The contour of the figure should be more gentle (Sorry if my english is not that good, it's not my native language)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright, I understand.
Thank you again for your input.

Oh, "not objective ebnough"? What did you want me to say, kind sir? "omg i lurv Godzilla, 5 out of 5 stars!"? Because thats not my idea of objective.

Is that an insult or a neutral comment?

An observation.
I don't think you should even be asking for critiques if youre gonna be this oversensitive.

Very interesting interpretation of Godzilla. I like how you gave it teardrop eyes which reminded me of the T-Rex. The body is more humannoid though with very muscular shoulders and pecs. The head itself also has features similar to a mammal rather than a reptile. Overall I feel it's a neat interpretation of a classic character. Very creative so good job on that. In terms of improvements, the arm on the left side of the drawing looks a little off. It looks like it's bent outward instead of inward with how the claws are positioned. It should be pointed in. The other minor nitpick is where the eye is position. The way it's placed the eyes on on the forehead. Maybe you could pull the eyes back just a tad to the right. Just minor nitpicks. Overall very creative and keep drawing.

Thank you very much for the critique. Yeah, I guess that the eyes could bear to be pulled back a little. Godzilla's features do look mammalian sometimes, don't they?
