Description Artificial Abominations
(top to bottom)

Spinnjager - Hopefully my most recognized kaiju next to Surudago. The only thing I really have to add that I haven't already said about him is a thought I had the other day. If Jager was created as a weapon, why can't there be more of them? I think at some point (maybe when he dies a beacon will be sent out, something like that), another 5 or 6 Jagers will show up to fight one of the big baddies. I dunno, I think it'd be cool; let me know what you think.

Tolljager - After Jager nearly dies, we get Toll. His design will probably change a few times, whenever I come up with new ideas for mutations. I'll probably add more spikey tentacly bits in the future. Also, if you can see his mouth, I decided he'll be able to channel the plasma that's now eroding his body, and shoot a beam of it (really, there was just a smudge on the picture and it made me think of that).

Hunter-Killer Mech - A kaiju I actually have an origin story for! First off, there's going to be a private military company who ends up developing a specialty fighting kaiju. At some point in the surudaverse tale, the earth will be ravaged, and semi-post-apocalyptic environment will appear in its wake. At this point, the PMC will take over the United States (for any fans of Jericho, think of the role Ravenwood plays in the new government), mainly due to public support in wanting protection against kaiju. Their mascot will become the HK Mech, designed specifically to fight kaiju. It's motivations are, however, a bit darker, as the kaiju that are captured alive are taken to a giant makeshift stadium (formed by destroyed skyscrapers) and made to fight to the death (against the mech or other kaiju). Eventually, the mech will be destroyed, and the US government will come back into power.

Mecha-Surudago - Alright, again, I've got no backstory for this one. But come on...I just had to do it!

Awesome design on all of them...I love the spider legs on the Hunter-Killer.

thanks! I'd been trying to draw the legs different, and I doodled that on a whim, and I really liked how it turned out

All of these are really cool- but the Hunter-Killer is definitely my favorite. Love that design.

thanks! I had the idea of combining spider and dinosaur into a mech for a while, but I had to play around with the design for a while before I got a body shape I liked

Spinnjager looks good as always, and Toll is awesome looking! I like the head on him, and the smashed tail bulb is a nice detail.

HK Mech looks intimidating. And stable-the six legs and centaur like body make him look a bit more able to fight kaiju and stay stable and upright.

Mecha Suru is neat! I like the crackling energy around the spikes, and the giant pinchers!

thank you! One of my biggest focuses designing HK was to make him look like he really could take on other kaiju; I figured part of that would be his build (of course accentuated with anti-kaiju weaponry up the wazoo). And mecha-suru, I took the same approach as the others; similar but different. I mean, if you're going to build a robot version, why not improve upon the original? The fins become the energy spikes (which is different in itself, I usually color electricity blue), and more pincers, only instead of horizontal, a nice big pair of vertical ones (admittedly inspired by the genobreaker)...glad you like 'em
