      @Clawson had an idea for a drawing challenge in June to draw a Kaiju every day for the month. I noticed a few other artists on Instagram heading up the challenge as well.

      It's a fun idea, becasue giant monsters offer so many creative design opportunities. I thought I'd do one.

      Here's my initial sketch (in photoshop)

      Here's my final pencil under drawing (also in photoshop)

      and here's my inked and watercolored final:

      If you've got one, post it here!

          Here's my attempt. I was having trouble with the colors, but also didn't want to spend too much time on it. Still it was really fun, kaijus are awesome! 🙂

            Cool. My son is great at monsters....wish I could get him on here but he's not interested in being an illustrator, he's a game maker wannabe 🙂 I am not so good at monsters but, I guess I could try one. maybe I will do it for tomorrow's watercolor challenge day 29/30! I'm almost done!

                  Wow, cool stuff! @Jake-Parker Love that tongue in the first one!

                  Here's mine. This is the Building-Kisser Kaiju, or, as he's known in some regions- the Mistletoe Monster.

                    Really rough color and sketch. Lots to figure out, I almost never create monsters/creatures and it shows so this is a nice challenge. The proportions are wonky and overall stumpy. When I look at @Jake-Parker's Kaiju I can instantly feel the weight and mass of the creature. Not easy to pull off.

                    I went with a Kaiju Drooling Baby aka a Kaijuby? 😛

                      What the heck is a Kaiju? I think I ordered that at the Chinese restaurant last night.

                                While I don't have much time to take challenges these days, my comic strip, Mutant Nina, often features kaiju-inspired monsters. Here's a few examples:

                                And also these monsters I designed for my Strange Friends comic. They're not giant-sized, but they're also inspired by japanese monsters:

                                    Another rough, I may try a smaller bow, plus need to work out the people and the Kaiju baby's stance, too.

                                      I did a monster from a 5 year old friend's description 🙂 He likes cowboy boots.

                                            @Jake-Parker Thank you. It was super fun. I have a whole bunch more to do since I got a long list of kid's descriptions today 🙂 My 3 1/2 year old grandson wants a monster with 10 bodies, ten legs, three big green eyes and monster claws 🙂 Plus I have 7 more. Might not do them all this month though 🙂
