Description This is my entry in the KaijuDen Art Challenge for the month of June. I waited pretty long, but I figured that someone would have submitted something before me. Oh well, with this piece I think i might have overdone the illustration portion. I wanted it to come off as really showing off the characteristics of the monster. Yellow using a cloud background, brown for an earth background and the blue wisps for water. All pretty simple renders and blur techniques in order to showcase the Triphibian aspect of the monster. I really did like doing this and it gave me a chance to expand on some different ways to create something.


This is the first time I used my wacom tablet, and I think it turned out pretty OK. Shading is a lot simpler now I hope everyone enjoys it

Would be nice. I can see some creative stuff happening there. At least if it is more of a Showa style fight.

From

-A commendable effort and it's obvious that lots of time was taken into the piece. Ultimately it suffers from an overload of Photoshop effects, specifically the 'render clouds' effect.

- I totally get what you're doing here, with Gappa as the master of the three elements, complete with a neat little kung-fu pose from him. It's a very cleaver idea, but the effects do distract from the main focus. However, I also must admit that this came before your Gudis picture, showing that your attempts at dynamic poses and backgrounds are improving.

I really like the little feathers. I like Gappa even if it's a copy off of Gorgo

Well, its no big surprise that you contributed something, BUT THANK GOODNESS we got something Gappa thus far, especially with a little over two weeks to go. Not to belittle your innovative piece, but hopefully more is one the way; again, big thanks!

My bad; it was the 27th, but we moved it to the 30th, on the hope that more Gappa art is coming...and I sure hope that it is!
