Description Commission for mickeyzord

This was very nostalgic for me, good times.  
Majimonsters was a a tabletop pokemon and D&D love child developed by Late Knight Games for which I had the pleasure of designing some of the monsters for back in 2018, which you guys can check in this gallery folder if you are unfamiliar with it: [link]

The prompt for Shokani was that of a kaiju-like crab with a underwater japanese city on it's back, taking some inspirations from the actual crab/yokai Heikegani . For me, this was my opportunity to to cram as much thematic imagery as I could.  
You can check some of the initial ideas for Shokani right here as well. I usually don't like sharing my sketches all that much, but I'm a bit fond of the initial rough ideas for this one.  

Hope you all liked it, and see you guys next time!

The city on top of its head kinda makes me think of the Dragon Palace from the Urashima Tarō story. Maybe you could have Shokani’s origin story be as the servant/pet of one of Ryūjin’s enemies. The Evil Sorcerer/Dragon found a Heikegani Yokai with exceptionally strong negative emotions. So they used their powers to turn the crab yokai into a large monster to attack the Dragon Palace. But when the attack failed they decided to build an extravagant city atop Shokani’s back as an immature attempt to show up Ryūjin and his Dragon Palace.

P.S. This is just me typing out ideas to let them flow out, that way they don’t keep rolling around in my head. You don’t have to take it seriously.
