Some random Kaiju artwork from my image account. Forgive me if these have been posted elsewhere before.





More information on the above two here: http://enshohmacorner.blogspot.com/2014 ... -2014.html



Rejected 'Gill Man' design for Gaira the Green Gargantua, because you know, Eiji Tsuburaya had a crush on "The Creature of the Black Lagoon". It's true and you all know it!

Pretty cool fanart of Rodan. Looks like he spent some time in the Attack on Titan universe.

This weird looking piece is entitled World's Number One Strongest Monster, and was apparently painted by Shuji Yanagi in 1966, though for what outlet, I don't know. Obviously Shuji had no idea there would be different Ultramen, beyond Hayata the original.



Another one of the strange Pachimon Kaiju of the late 1960's and early 1970's. This fellow is clearly spawned from the original Gamera, and from what little I know, this creature's name is Tobozu.

Saw this guy at Baltimore Comic Con.


He had some pretty nice hands with rocket fingers that his "handler" was carrying for him

The MG cosplay is pure win.

Where did they get Godzilla 2014 was 300 meters tall? He's 350 feet.

Interesting diagram for sure though.

I'd love to get that on the wall somewhere. Where did you find it?

I've got more images to share, mainly concept art.



The original concept for Moguera from "The Mysterians" was to have him as a fully organic / biological monster, until the Japanese production crew decided for a robotic one instead.



Fellow monster historian, and the producer behind the upcoming documentary "", Mark Jaramillo, unearthed this fantastic piece for a cryptozoology site. This is indeed the official concept art for Toho and Hammer's unproduced effort "Nessie" from the late 1970's.
The design clearly takes inspiration from real accounts of the Loch Ness Monster (wither she exists or not), and as Mark himself have noted, that despite popular belief, there is no connection between the Nessie shown here, and the similar but unrelated Sea Dragon from 1987's "Princess of the Moon", other than that there both plesiosaur-like creatures.



"Imai Monstrous Animals Series" - Model kits or toy figures from the late 1960's, or possibly 1970's, from the company Imai itself. Not counting contemporary merchandise, I've never seen an actual figure from the original series. And the three monsters listed here are Galba, Bagilla (my favorite of the three), and Seauls.



"Daikaiju Segosu" (or best I could translate the title) - Appears to be an original manga or story book about a crustacean-type monster. And with a face that only a mother could love.



Poster artwork for another unproduced / unmade monster movie, "Baby Kong". Similarly to "Nessie" there's some misconceptions surrounding this film, as many Americans believing it to be a failed sequel to the 1976 "King Kong" remake. It is NOT. It was however meant as a parody of monster movies, and was to be directed by non-other than Italian cult cinema mainstay, Mario Bava.



"Parent and Child Fire Kaiju" - No idea if these are toys, and we're just looking at its box art, or if this is a bromide card situation. And my, these two look a LITTLE familiar, eh?

And just to finish things up, one of the greatest giant monsters you may have never heard of, because your all to busy salivating over the likes of (INSERT POPULAR KAIJU NAME HERE). Kitten Kong, from the 1970's comedy series "The Goodies"





Cats are fun.

It's like a kaiju cryptozoology find!

a Mario Bava kaiju film.... Not exactly what I thought it'd sound like. Nice to finally see Nessie after all these years. I really wonder what the movie would have been like. Any idea on how large Nessie would have been? Or even portrayed? Knowing Nakano, it'd be a million times better than Legends Of Dinosaurs And Monster Birds.

I've known of Organic Mogera for a long time, this is the first time I have seen it in such detail. Those Monstrous Animals are pretty unsettling...

Would love to see more of Imai Monstrous Animals Series and Daikaiju Segosu. Very cool.

Enshohma, always an amazing read. Having seen what Nakano can do with a budget (vs MG, Terror of MG, Submersion of Japan, Conflagration, Deathquake, Return Of Godzilla), it would have been amazing for certain.

>Nessie in Rulers Of Earth

aww yeah. To be quite frank I always wondered the most about Nessie more than any other unmade Toho project. Toho and Shaw had coproductions (pretty cool ones), but Toho and Hammer seemed like something that should have happened.

It would have looked better than anything Toei could have come up. Especially since I think Toho has always and will always be better at miniatures than Toei.
