Description Originally submitted for Tumblr here: nazrigar.tumblr.com/post/82110… , turned out WAY better than I expected. So I'm submitting it here, for extra feedback (because comments on how to improve or choose would DEFINITELY be liked).

So here's the three designs I thought up based on the three Godzilla designs I'm most familiar with, 90s, 2000s and the 2014 era Godzilla. While thinking up for a better design of "Father Godzilla", I had to take note on how previous designs works, as well as the several "Mobster" archetypes used in fiction.

Now let's start from left to right.

First, 2000s era Godzilla. Due to his "leaner" aesthetic compared to the giant that was Heisei era Godzilla, I gave off a more "young" mobster vibe compared to the other two. Overall, I kinda like the design mostly due to how stylish the design is (my bias for 1920s clothing is showing).

Next comes 90s era Godzilla, inspired by more "Budy Cop Movie" type gangsters, who wear less elaborate suits compared to their 20s counterparts. He has much more "Laughably Evil" vibe than the others, and strikes as the Godzilla that intimidates by just how much fun he's having making other folk's lives miserable.

The last design for 2014 Godzilla is based on the Kingpin, or "Kingpin-esque" characters, who are large, intimidating and more than able to back up his strength in the underground with his physical might. OH, and canes!

I have a idea: Taking a similar path as Zilla Jr., Godzilla Jr (who I would like to be portrayed either by Godzilla 2004 or Godzilla 2002) refuses to follow Godzilla’s legacy and leaves his father’s mafia gang and strikes out on his own. Several weeks later, he realizes how bad the crime rate in the city was. He goes to the Police academy to use the immense strength and atomic breath that he got from his father for good purposes and trains to be a cop. Even though Godzilla Jr. gets serious backlash for being the son of a crimelord, Zilla Jr. welcomes Junior with open arms, as he saw himself in Godzilla Jr. Just like Zilla Jr., Godzilla Jr. wants to undo the sins of his father and bring justice to the city. After enduring five hard months of training, Godzilla Jr. is formally inducted into the Police Force and even becomes Zilla Jr.’s partner. The two cops since then work together to put a end to the crime and Godzilla’s reign.

Mmm I actually like this mobzilla idea you came up with and like you involved zilla as a young cop with kong as his boss. Does zilla have a special khomodo as wife or girlfriend?

I actually had an idea for the Zillas as well; 98/04's now dead (thanks to Don Godzilla as you mentioned in the original bios.) possibly reanimated as Cyber-Zilla by TACHYON, a multi-billion dollar company specializing in arms deals (ie Cyber Zillas grown from Jr and Sr as riot troopers, body guards, soldiers, etc.) , then we got Zilla Jr, self-explanatory. But then there's Zilla'13/Rulers of Earth; my idea is he's a street smart kaiju who fought Don mano y mano over territory, with the Don actually getting hurt by the scrappy reptile. Of course, just as the Don is about to finish him off, the cops arrive and break up the fight, forcing them to flee. Goji recovers and is later seen at a bar, mulling over what happens when the False-Godzilla arrives after being let in the club. At first, it appears another fight's about to break out, but the Don's actually impressed a smaller guy like him managed to put up such a good fight, offering him an entrance to the Royal Mob family to beat the Trilopod Pack, a rival gang that's been taking out many of the other mob bosses and gained more power than Godzilla likes. Of course, there's an ambush by said Trilopods, albeit Zilla escapes and later helps the Don and his mob (who manage to get out of the Trilopod's 'prison') take down the kaiju-clones, including Godmother/Father Magita (who Don personally blasts a hole through.) and is the newest member of the 'Rulers of Earth clan' (basically the whole Rulers of Earth storyline, but Mobzillafied. Yes I know how dumb it sounds, just an idea for, say, an AU within an AU or somethng. Awesome drawings BTW)

I'll agree with someone down below, the 2014 design is the best.
I imagine he's both menacing, yet also a suave, charming creature. Like Vito Corleone from the first Godfather.

NazRigar In reply to konggodamera [2014-06-13 16:21:23 +0000 UTC]

I was going more for a Kingpin vibe physically and in terms of using his size for intimidation purposes, but also Vito Corleone? Now THAT'S the perfect statement to confirm that the 2014 will be the final design for Godzilla in Mobzilla. I love Vito in the first Godfather.

Ah yes! The classic "Russian Arms Merchant" , but that's already filled by Destoroyah sadly.

Speaking of which, how's the Forums, life has been pretty busy so I didn't return for quite a while, maybe I should!

Rage: FFFFF- Screw your rules. *Sells them anyway*


And I see Destoroyah more as a very strong serial killer more than an arms merchant o-O Eh, probably Rage could be something else but Idk what,


And yeah, the forum's been fine, I haven't been there much either though. xD

The very strong serial killer is filled by Orga funilly enough . As you I planned out a lot.

But I can see a lot of CKC kaiju as certain things...

Like Raveger maybe as an old psychopath?

Gurral as well.... I see him as a pro boxer.

Azrael as those really shady guys, Umibozu too.

Or maybe ehh... I got no other ideas as of now xD

2014 Godzilla looks like the best, cause whenever Godzilla is in a villainous role, he a gigantic force of destruction; and considering mob bosses can be quite thorough when exacting revenge, '14 Boss Goji demolishing whatever schmuck too dumb to live makes him the best choice

I really appreciate the thought and characterization you are putting into each of the character designs. I also love the fact that each one has a different type of smoking apparatus that they use based on their archtype. The more I see from this project the more fascinated I become.

NazRigar In reply to Rei-Sengoku [2014-04-21 12:56:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Characterization is always important to me, even when it's something as simple as fanfiction! In my honest opinion, when you make AU fan-comics/fiction you gotta pay tribute to the original designs somehow, and one of the best ways is to try and emphasize on what made them in work in the first place, and see what kind of personality fits with the character's history and design. Even the tiniest details are important (the small,orderly teeth of 2014 Gojira gives him a way meaner visage than the 2000's overbite). Thanks! The smoking apparatus was one of the fun parts, because there's just so many to choose from. Thanks! Hopefully I'll get some more done, but I have to focus on creating a portfolio, so we'll see how fast I can pump out the art.

Gojira5000 [2014-04-20 03:34:20 +0000 UTC]

The '54 Godzilla does have a sinister appearance about him, too; that design might work good as the design for either the Big G himself or another Godzilla who's even further on the food chain of the mafia than him, sort of like the Al Capone-type.

NazRigar In reply to Gojira5000 [2014-04-21 13:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Since '54 Godzilla was inspired by the events of WWII, I could actually use the 54 design as Godzilla in his "Monster Machine War" days, because one interesting note that I found out about 1920s, quite a few mobsters were veterans of World War I. Thank you for bringing the original design up! I almost forgot about it completely!

Creepy and fearsome job overall; the designs for the suits and expressions are splendid, and certainly back their descriptions up! 2000s is particularly creepy thanks to those giant anglerfish teeth which I didn't like at first, but I suppose he's always had quite an overbite with that design. Kudos!

2000s was a pickle to draw, because he didn't have the standard set of "pointy monster teeth" of most monster movie fiction, no he had to get the extra sharp edition. The expressions were the funnest part!
