Godzilla Extreme Universe
So I had noticed a post in the redesign thread it would better to make a thread for one's own art, rather than post it in a general redesign thread. So that is what I'll be doing. So we'll just start with posting the redesigns I've done so far.
Disclaimer: Though I conceptualize and design each kaiju, Emily Stepp is the artist of all these.
Godzilla:
King Ghidorah:
Mothra:
Rodan:
Anguirus:
Starting with Mothra I decided to add titles to each kaiju, and give them data files that have bits of info about them and the lore of the world. I may go back and do version 2s of Godzilla and Ghidorah to keep the whole series on the same page.
As you can see I tend to go for a quasi realistic redesign philosophy, mixing up different elements from all sorts of animals to create a hybrid type look. I know some won't like it, but hey, opinions amd what not.
Next in line is Titanosaurus, and after that I'm leaning towards Gigan. I hope you'll enjoy my works. Creating these across the past year has really brought me joy. I love the creative process and seeing how things change from conception to completion.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Any particular themes you've got in mind for your Titanosaurus? After seeing your Anguirus I'm very interested in how future redesigns will turn out.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Titanosaurus will be heavily inspired by Lagiacrus from Monster Hunter and (I'm going to try) a blanket octopus. I'm gonna shoot for a very elegant and beautiful design, since like Mothra, Titanosaurs will be a female. Her powers are going to be venomous spikes and an electric bite, and MAYBE shooting tentacles from her throat. Not sure on the last one. I think two might be enough.Dracosaurian wrote:Any particular themes you've got in mind for your Titanosaurus? After seeing your Anguirus I'm very interested in how future redesigns will turn out.
Another tidbit of all my redesigns, all kaiju in the Extreme Universe are in the, what I call, 200 meter class. I've struggled for a long time on the proper height for these monsters, especially Godzilla. No height seemed big enough. But after sometime, I settled on a 200 meter size scale. Godzilla himself stands at 230 meters. I'm not good with coming up with proper length and weight adjustments, so I just focus on height.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Lagiacrus and Blanket octopus...that's a very interesting combo! It's also interesting to see/hear of another fan design of Titano that is female. The venomous spines and electric bite are solid abilities, meanwhile the tentacles being shot from the throat I'll admit does sound strange on paper, but I do believe it can be pulled off. After all, if Godzilla can have all sorts of strange abilities(especially Shin) then I don't see why the other monsters in the series can't pull it off?Maverick Centigrade wrote:Titanosaurus will be heavily inspired by Lagiacrus from Monster Hunter and (I'm going to try) a blanket octopus.

I definitely look forward to seeing your Titanosaurus.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
I've always wondered why people call Titanosaurus a female.
Anyways, I like the powers given but since Titanosaurus is completely unmutated, I prefer his moveset being melee and wind.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
I love the psychedelic colors on Mothra. Very eye-catching. The wing-tail things are interesting, too.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Idea for Zilla if you ever get to him, have him based off of chameleons.
I say this because it an early draft for Godzilla 98, Godzilla was actually suppose to camoflague like a chameleon in different colors, why not reflect that here?

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Probably won't get to Zilla. I'm leaving out the kaiju I'm not big fans of. That's why Varan and Baragon were killed by Anguirus.tyrantgoji wrote:Idea for Zilla if you ever get to him, have him based off of chameleons.

Titanosaurus is referred to as a male in the TOMG. I just felt like doing something different.Cryptid_Liker wrote:I've always wondered why people call Titanosaurus a female.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Data files for Godzilla and King Ghidorah would be really cool to see, especially to see the powers they have. I do really like the powers that Anguirus and Mothra have, the former I like that he has special powers but they still fit Anguirus super well.
Overall, very interesting designs, I like how they’re realistic but at the same time still kept uniquely kaiju. Rodan isn’t just a big bird or pterodactyl, he’s still his own thing. Godzilla, maybe not as much as the others, but he’s still above the usual “T-Rex with glued on spines” redesign.
I will definitely be keeping an eye on this series.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Rodan gave me some trouble in the beginning stages. I didn't want him to be a pterodactyl, nor a wyvern after I did that with Ghidorah. After some time it came to me, bird lizard. Taking the look a traditional bird and applying reptilian features to it. Rodan I felt very proud of.GodzillavsRayquaza wrote:Data files for Godzilla and King Ghidorah would be really cool to see, especially to see the powers they have.

Though after it was all said and done, I realized I should have colored him a vibrant red, since he has a ranged energy attack, which is more related to Fire Rodan.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Well as of yesterday Emily and I have officially begun designing Titanosaurus. I already have much of her MAD file done. I feel like I'm on a creative hot streak here. I feel real good with this one.
Small tease: Titanosaurus will have 4 eyes.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Yeah I'm not quite sure why I picked that. I just wanted to give Titanosaurus a really unique look compared to all the other redesigns. Quadraped, 4 eyes, etc. I think mine will really be unique.Cryptid_Liker wrote:Two pairs of eyes? Interesting.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Another update on Titanosaurus. The design is coming along nicely. But I've decided to abandon the blanket octopus elements. What I had thought of in my head proved too difficult to adapt to the body shape I selected for her. But nevertheless she's shaping up to be a fierce looking sea dragon.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
Titanosaurus eye colors have been selected, and I kept her body colors the same as the Toho version. Next will be side sketches showing off her abilities and then it should be done.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
A very interesting design, certainly out there, but overall I like it. Only thing that really makes me pause is the mouth tentacles, that feels like a bit much, but everything else seems fine to me.

Re: Godzilla Extreme Universe
That's definitely an interesting looking Titanosaurus. I'd like it if she could alternate between a biped and quadruped stance, but I admit her Lagiacrus stance is really growing on me. All in all, I like this design.
