This is a sort of clearinghouse for various kaiju (giant monsters, a
la Godzilla or Gamera) works I've done. Some drawings, some kitbashes,
some writing.
Kaiju
Glossary
Just a few terms that might help you figure out what the heck I'm talking
about. :)
Homemade Kaiju
I've made up a number of kaiju in my day, but these are ones where I've gone
all-out and made artwork.
- Laelapis, the Solar Beast - With fake
background for Showa Godzilla, Heisei Godzilla and Millennium Gamera
settings.
- G.U.I.R.O.N. - On the edge of "original," I
suppose. A Mecha-Guiron for the Millennium Gamera setting.
- Bronzewing
vs. Heraclius - Monstrous inhabitants of Venus in my SciFi/Superhero
setting Academy of
Super-Heroes, they're a giant bronze ibis and a titanic stone beetle.
Painted in acrylic.
- Infernion -
A titanic magma lion, the "guardian" kaiju of Venus in the Academy of
Super-Heroes setting. Painted in acrylic, using a trick I picked up from a
War Planets toy: the dark areas are purple rather than black at the edges,
due to how a bright red glow causes the visual purple to overload.
Kaiju Fan Art
Stuff here is going to be pieces that are interpretations of canonical kaiju,
rather than original creations. Once I start modifying Monsterpocalypse
figures I may put them here, or maybe under the Homemades, not sure yet.
- K-Girls - A section of one
of my drawing galleries. K-Girls are anthropomorphic kaiju. There may also
be some K-Girls lurking about in the Homemade Kaiju entries.
- "Kiryu" -
A MUX superhero character with the high concept of "1:144 scale
MechaGodzilla", tweaked to avoid the game's rules regarding the respecting of
trademarks.
- Snorky, The Beast That Ate Morioka - 1:1000 scale
scratchbuild miniature of the title character of Mark Crilley's 2004 comic
book (seen here for reference). The main monster is
just a rope of Apoxie Sculpt bent into shape and then tweaked at the head.
The buildings are made of various styrene bits, and the rubble is more Apoxie
Sculpt. I used Apoxie Clay for the eyes, as it's easier for me to get small
details right with it. Unpainted work-in-progress.
