Nope I can't draw Godzilla
Title can't be empty.
Title can't be empty.
A little something I was asked to work on last year, but held off on it because...I can't draw Godzilla!

That is Godzilla.
And I know what a T-rex head looks like. I've drawn T-rex heads.
As a friend of mine said: "Oh my, that's quite a nice lookin' G-man right there - nifty blend of the '02 and Legendary Pictures gojis, too... "
Which was more or less what I was aiming for. Mire-Goji suit had more spiny scales to it, and Legendary Goji has the bulk. The only GINO aspect of this image is its coloration and the eyes.
When I get comments like this: "Are you serious? This is like a unique take on the design, almost feel like it has elements from both Zilla and 2014 AmeriGoji, Id like to see more of this interpretation in the future! 10/10"
I'm beginning to see that their opinion holds more weight. The T-rex thing really is what GINO looks like, and it isn't what Godzilla looks like.
If anything else, Godzilla is more or less supposed to look like someone who just received painful radiation burns.
That's right, I can't draw Godzilla.
And the guy above you doesn't think it looks like Godzilla.
And a lot of people have their own versions of him. Like this one, which also has more angular scales like your version of him

Lots of fan art out there for the big guy. So don't worry too much about the critics. If anyone can look at it and instantly think it is Godzilla, then you did fine.

Hell, I was even published in G-fan once.
Helped run one of the most popular boards dedicated to the big guy.
And really, the 2014 Godzilla is only 5 meters taller than Heisei Godzilla. Legendary is 104 meters, and Heisei was around 100 meters.
But Legendary is heavier, since Heisei was 80 thousand tons and Legendary is around 95 thousand tons.
Tetsu-Goji, that is the Godzilla I drew, is 123 meters tall and around 150 thousand tons.
I had to figure out bone density as well as what material his bones would be made of to make this guy work. And I went off of Neltharion logic, because Neltharion uses the Square-Cubed law to his favor despite his enormous size.
Neltharion is this guy.

Neltharion is 500 meters tall to the shoulder and weighing around 13 million metric tons. About as much as every fat person on planet Earth combined. I checked.
So, to make this Godzilla, I had to figure out how Neltharion is capable of supporting his weight. And it has to do with his density. Square-Cubed says that the thing must be denser to support the added weight. That's why something like Neltharion who is 500 meters tall, 1400 meters long has to be 13 million metric tons.
In reality, even Heisei Godzilla would not be able to support his own weight because he is not dense enough. But Legendary and Tetsu-Goji is.
So that is why Tetsu-Goji is 150 thousand metric tons.
Apparently, a lot of people are liking Tetsu-Goji. Saying he's a unique design, he's not trying to look like all the known designs, he's being different, himself.
But at the same time, he's recognizable as Godzilla.
Hell, one guy said Tetsu-Goji should have been what we got in 98 rather than the Tatopoulus design.
I'd love to see you put the same touch on Kong and my favorite, Guiron.
