Looking back, they're all a bit edgy to really make good Godzilla redesigns, but on their own, they're still pretty neat looking.
These are the kinds of art that I just enjoy, even though they’re kinda over the top, too spiky, and impractical. The quill-covered Godzilla is just cool looking. And they’re all drawn/painted competently, so they’re enjoyable in that sense.

Big fan of the first two. My opinion for the third depends on if it's supposed to be SpaceGodzilla or another rendition of the big G.

very good stuff. quill-feathered godzilla is, in my personal take, a highly underexplored take on Godzilla. everybody just goes with a generic, often shrinkwrapped and outdated looking theropod and then makes it into Godzilla with little to no thought. i think a take on Godzilla going less off of JP rejects and more going on stuff like Briah Engh's theropods or CM Koseman's dinosaur depictions would be a very interesting take on the Big G.

DeviantArt newcomer AtomicN30 unveiled a more Showa-styled Godzilla redesign earlier this week. I really like this design, even if some of the suits it's based on aren't my cup of tea.

Looks a hell of a lot like Matt Frank’s work.

The shading and detailing is clearly inspired by Matt Frank, but the anatomy, pose, and general technical execution is nowhere near his level.

Good god(zilla), seeing these again makes me feel really old.... and slightly nostalgic.

Well, maybe the opposite, with this being a transition of him from his hefty look in KKvsG to MvsG, lol.

Maybe my eyes are just failing me but I don't see MosuGoji here besides the eyebrows. The rest of the head reminds me more of DaisensoGoji.

Most of these kaiju redesign fan series are modeled after Frank's Neo stuff.

I'm a big fan of the Pixiv Gigan. Not so much for Space-Dragon's design, although I won't say I dislike it exactly.

i love how weird both are. Gigan's a derpy ass weirdo with a murderous streak. too many people try to make gigan an edgy try hard and then it just kinda ruins Gigan's whole thing.

A sword blade and a taser! Pretty cool!

But how does the other one at the top even walk on those pointed legs, never mind stand up?

Considering how big his wings are, I'm willing to bet he doesn't.

Hmmmm, never even thought of that.

Do you think it's also possible that that version of the Nebulans discovered anti-gravity on their version of Space Hunter Nebula M and used it for that version of Gigan?

That's definitely an option as well. Now that I think about it, floating probably fits this design more than powered flight.
