@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Do one! It would be great to see what you'd come up with.
A Kaiju for Kaijune
-
@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!

@Jake-Parker Ahh I absolutely love it! That is such a cool creative piece! Looks fantastic
-
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!Marsha Ottum Owen

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Do one! It would be great to see what you'd come up with.

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.

@Lee-White I had to look it up. I thought it had to do with sneezing!
-
@Lee-White Must be that new place over on Main with the monster-sized meals.
-
I have another one! I don't think I'll be able to do one each day, but its just a fun idea anyways!
-
@Jake-Parker I'll try one tomorrow
Thanks! -
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:
-
@Lee-White I thought I was the only one who had never heard of it,I looked it up but must have spelt it wrong I got lots of pics of a asian guy.
-
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.Marsha Ottum Owen

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen I'm digging the suspenders!

@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
