This is a page from fan comic by Godzilla suit actor Hurricane Ryu. It features a “sword and sorcery” anthropomorphic Godzilla.
I don’t think anything in the history of humanity’s cultural milestones will ever match an article focusing on all the love-interests Godzilla has ever had.
And there are A LOT.
Sea Baragon (or Baraguma) appreciation post. Sea Baragon appeared in the first volume of Kodansya’s 1992 Godzilla manga series, and was a revived Baragon (after the fight with the Frankenstein monster), crossed with the DNA of narwhals and walruses.
I wish these were published in the west! These are so cool!
Firstly: 50+ Yay! Thank you everyone, especially those who’ve been with me since the beginning, I’ll be sure to give something for special for you all! Because in all honesty… I thought I’d never get even this far.
Now onto the Art itself, it’s actually my first foray into architectural art, and boy was it harder than the actual monsters themselves! :D.
It’s also one of my first forays into artistic scale, where I made someone bigger for symbolism than literal terms (because I’m used to that).
Here is a larger (or at least more expansive) version of the comic page a reblogged a could of posts back. Once again, this is from a Japanese anthology comic called “The Godzilla Comic” published in 1991. This story was written and drawn by the actor who played King Ghidorah in “Godzilla vs King Ghidorah”. It is called “Godzilla: Monster Warrior” and has Godzilla transformed into a sword and sorcery type character.
I wish I could find this whole story. Even if I can’t read Japanese, it would be so badass!
Best. Godzilla. Art. Ever.
This is a page from the manga story, “Godzilla: Monster Warrior,” by mangaka/suit actor/Godzilla fan Hurricane Ryuu (Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah, Den-Ace, etc.), in the doujinshi anthology collection, The Godzilla Comic (1990). Imagine Bandai’s Tamashii Nations making a figure out of this guy! :)
I… I actually really want to read this! Anthropomorphic Godzilla by way of John Norman, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Frank Frazzeta! That’s pretty damn cool!
