Some new sketches

Anguiras, of Godzilla fame.

An everyday scene on the Island of the Fighting Monsters

And lastly, an Astronaut Shark.

New kaiju story in the works

If anyone's interested, I've been working on a new roster of kaiju lately. I'm going to rough out some designs pretty soon for a project in my Professional Practice class, so they'll be done in about two weeks or so.

For the story I'm going to do what Alan Moore did for "Watchmen," take different characters and base new ones off them and tell a unique story. Instead where he based his off the Charlton Comics universe, I'm basing mine off Godzilla. Kaibutsu is the Godzilla analogue, while there's also going to be ones for Mothra, Gigan, etc. 

The story is still in the planning stages, but what I'm aiming to do is depict what our world would be like if kaiju really existed. How would an engine of destruction like Godzilla or a godlike being such as Mothra influence our society? But there's a lot I still don't have. What will the aliens be like? Should I set it in Japan or America? When should it be set? Makes me wonder if I'll ever get the story complete. But you guys will get to see designs and hear the kaiju's origins, I promise. Two weeks

Rough zoo studies

Alligators make great subjects because they almost never move over the course of a few hours.

 Same with iguanas.

More Godzilla

Godzilla vs the Daleks from Doctor Who in a match I'd love to see happen. I don't think I did the idea much justice, as I may have rushed tp get this done in time for G-Fest, the Godzilla convention in Chicago I go to every year.

Speaking of G-Fest, I doodled this there.

Godzilla and Gamera: Surf's Up!

Sorry I haven't updated in a long time!

I decided to make this after I saw an old picture I drew of Godzilla surfing on Gamera and decided it was a good concept but I could do better. I'm going to try to make a few more giant monster-related pics for G-Fest this July, whenever I have time off from my summer job.  

Jump-scare

For Payne's class, where we had to come up with a peice that could be installed somewhere, like a mural. I chose to do a sci fi mural involving aliens whose designs were inspired by old pulp covers. I was especially influenced by Frank R. Paul's surreal designs. Bug-eyed saucer men aren't around much these days, and those were always what scared me as a kid the most. I may work on these guys a little bit more. I like them.
