I guess it is (was?) #PortfolioDay??? Well here’s some things!
This year is Godzilla 1998’s 25th anniversary. I have a lot of complicated opinions about that movie, and even as a kid, I rated it 5/10, but it is certainly a major formative moment for me in my life. Here’s some of the Zillas I’ve drawn over the years!
Interesting concurrent design elements here
Since we're all losing our minds over the new #Gamera, here's a throwback to a pair of redesigns I did (as part of a challenge alongside @mooncalfe1)
To keep the #Gamera train going, this is an early concept for the disc jacket art for the first of Arrow's Gamera Blu Rays. I wound up going for a slightly different style with less glow effects but this still came out pretty cool! #ガメラ #ガメラリバース
This is the sort of stuff we would see near-constantly in the 80’s and 90’s - this kind of mentality that says “Godzilla can only ever be enjoyed ironically,” where nothing can penetrate this extremely narcissistic wall of self-superiority because “rubber suit.” twitter.com/GMANofMysteroi…
The sheer anxiety that the King Kong game would elicit in me, especially when the V-Rex is looming towards you, still gives me chills. twitter.com/headwaregames/…
I want very very badly to draw fan art of HER, created by @LowBudgetGhost
Here is my illustration to promote the new game WILD HEARTS! Thanks @IGNJapan for including me! Create your own WILD HEARTS artwork to join the illustration contest! 『WILD HEARTS』のイラストコンテストもやっていますので応募してください #wildheartsイラコン #PR
#WildHearts arrives on Feb 16th and I was thrilled to work on this piece to promote the game! This is the EARTHBREAKER, basically if a mountain was also a bear!
Just in time for Valentine's... LADY GIGANA
Godzilla: The Series is still the best American version of Godzilla (yes I will die on this hill)
AN ANCIENT ALPHA PREDATOR - My art for @studio_spiral's upcoming GODZILLA 2019 sofubi!
I'm really proud of the central image of Godzilla here and had a lot of fun with stylizing the art after old Hollow Earth illustrations. twitter.com/spankzilla85/s…
I got inspired by the new #MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur to go back and finish a piece I started YEARS ago, and here it is!
There’s no question that Pokémon have their DNA firmly entrenched in kaiju design aesthetics, and this is a fun article!
THE BEST OF KING GHIDORAH! I did a new cover as an exclusive for IDW’s digital store!
I made these two IDW covers as companion pieces and you can see them side-by-side below! I hope I get to do more! #Godzilla
Day 2 of AggieCon wrapped up! I did a few of these for fun 💚
I had no idea that John Swasey and Kyle Jones were voices on LAKE TEXARKANA GAMERA, and meeting them at #Aggiecon was a treat so I made them some doodles!
With the new #TMNTmovie on the horizon, I got to thinking about the Gamera/TMNT crossover pitch I made that was shot down… Maybe I should just make it anyway? #MutantMayhem
Since folks seemed to love this idea so much...here are some sketch concepts for what might have made it into the story! twitter.com/spankzilla85/s…
Masked version! Mikey made it out of various green tarps he found in the trash 💚
As G-Fest has continued to make it exceedingly difficult for artists to earn money at their show, I've begun the process of front-loading art boards for the con, since the new rules regarding fan art do NOT extend to one-off art and sketches.
Compiling the sketches I posted yesterday for my TMNT/Gamera crossover! What would YOU like to see in a story like this??
