Mothra, Rodan and Gghidorah are gonna be updated for todays American audience somehow. Hopefully they leave Godzillas design alone.

Here's some really cool fan art of Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra and Angilas:

Rodan and Angilas look amazing, but not too crazy about Ghidorah with the three eye balls. And Mothra just looks like Mothra. I wish Angilas was in the sequel, if he looked anything like this it would've been incredible!

Not a fan of Ghidorah's six eyes per head, but otherwise those are terrific.

It's such an insignificant detail where no attention would be brought to it (much like the gills) that there's no point in being upset by it. I'd prefer if Ghidorah had the eerie, unblinking eyes of a snake, though.

Overall, a lot of these 'concepts' look like freakish, off-putting Muppets from The Dark Crystal with the exception of Mothra who's suitably cute as a larvae and cosmic as an adult.

All of those redesigns are cool, but I'd def get rid of the 6 eyes on KG. I'd also shorten or widen Ang's snout a little. Mothra looks fine and Rodan is...mostly good, tho kinda ugly I guess.

[walshiam]

Ghidorah would look fine with each pair of eyes being solid black, like a shark. The six eyes per head is unnecessary.

[jellydonut25]

I like all those. Six eyes is unnecessary and all, but honestly, you wouldn't even NOTICE unless you sat and STARED at it, so whatever. I know these are fan art and not anything close to official, but I'd be fine with pretty much all of those.

I kinda doubt we'll hew that close to the Toho line, though, as aside from the 6 eyes, there's not much different, and though Legendary's Godzilla certainly looks like Godzilla, it IS a departure and I'm sure they'll want to put their own spins on these kaiju.

[DannyBeane]

I can't get over how much I love that Rodan, its like a 1956 update. The eyes look intelligent and alive. The only critique I have is to smooth it out and streamline the design a bit. Its a little too bumpy/angular for a creature thats supposed to be aerodynamic and fast. Still an awesome design though and if the film version looked remotely like that then I feel we'd have a winner.

[Gojiraknight]

Love 'em all (except for 6 eyes) but I agree that Legendary probably won't hew so close to Showa-era designs.

KG especially is gonna look like one evil mother-fer, as he should. I'd like the fan reaction to be similar to what it was for TDK's Joker - yes, that's what the character looks like, but it's still fresh, exciting and frightening.

[Jinzo Ningen]

Pretty nifty but, as others have said, I'd smooth out Rodan so he's more aerodynamic and somebody please give Angilas a couple of extras slices of pizza to fill him out; he's looking a little gaunt. LOL

Ghidorah looks cool but the six eyes thing seems like an unneeded change. Unblinking eyes sounds like the right way to go. If his heads are slithering all over the place there's not really going to be anyone able to follow any eye movements. BTW... hope they keep the freaky synthesizer-style original three "voices" rather than make their own or tweak some generic roar(s). Maybe give each head a different method of attack & behaviour, in addition to the 3 distinctive roars??

I'm still of the mind that they need to address a couple of small issues with Godzilla's design. Stick with what they have, but give him longer teeth (there was a perfect concept head shot in Art of Destruction that featured the smae basic head design only with longer, dagger-ish teeth). Lengthen his feet about 25-30% and... pretty much that's it. Oh yeah... please increase his atomic breath more so that it fills his whole mouth when he lets loose. It was too thin and liquidy, IMHO. I'd be superhappyfunjoy with just those 3 minor adjustments. Also, I seriously hope that they don't do a major re-design just so they can generate all-new toys for the merchandising tie-ins.

I like all of them cept for all the eyes on KG. I mean, I get it, it looks weird and "alien" but there's no reason he would have all those eyes.

There are some more on that guys page that haven't been posted here..

Gaira.



Varan



Mecha Godzilla

[jellydonut25]

Hm. Nothing wrong with any of those. I could nitpick Mechagodzilla's neck, and Gaira is a little too scaly for my tastes, but if you're looking for someone to stay very close to the original designs, these look good.

[Hybrid Gojira]

The three eye idea is just stupid and completely unnecessary. The rest of that design is pretty solid.

And the other designs are cool. Has this guy redesigned Godzilla yet?.

Edit: looking through his deviantart, he's got mostly good stuff.

[jellydonut25]

Those of you who don't like a few extra eyes on Ghidorah would be HORRIFIED if the (surprisingly large) contingent of people on Facebook who are in favor of an eight headed Ghidorah had design say-so on a new movie. These people backup their opinion by stating that because it was a minor one-off line in GMK, Toho is all in favor of the idea and would love to see an eight headed Ghidorah.

Those Facebook groups are awful.
