Description I'm rather happy with the coloring this time. A little bit of struggle concerning the spikes and their dual colors but I think I got it to look good all the same. So here's Rygama and she's absolutely beastly. I originally intended for her to be dancing with a winking eye at the viewer but then I remembered...Rygama doesn't have eyelids .

So I ended up going with this crazy idea instead :woot!: . From the various chatter I've heard from this community and the few times I've actually visited it, there is this wonderful place where fan kaiju and the classics beat each other to a bloody pulp and then some. Its like a underground fight club or something. I over dramatize it but thats the impression I have. Anyway, I wondered: what kind of arena would a large section of this place look like? A really hurking huge colloseum thats what. So yeah, that sparkly rainbow covered bricks in the background there are people. The rocky arena itself is probably one of the best backgrounds I've ever made and the wonderful skylight sets the tone rather well. It is here that our young SD has found herself.

Since Rygama is at her heart of hearts, a fighter; I decided a victory/uppercut/dragonpunch pose would be perfect for her. The best part is, is that its actually doing something lol. Zillachary had a great idea with a 'MechaSpacegodzilla-esque' creature being in this pic but there wasn't enough room under her feet. So I had him being 'Shuryuken'd' into the rafters and decapitated at the same time. That black thing his head still floating up there and his body (being much heavier by itself) has plummeted to the ground stump first, sprawled in a cloud of dust. The scene by itself could be considered joke worthy in its entirety but I put in Rygama's planned quote anyway.

It ironically fits rather will, both to her and the scene. At least I think so. Could be more modern but you really can't go wrong with old 80's music when it comes to memes. And the song itself is just wacky enough to fit right into Rygama's many odd and crazy adventures through her kaijuverse. I also think I finally got all her parts right, yeah for me .

Next Up: Zilla (when I get around to him)

She is a kaiju created by an old friend/mentor in science fiction by the DA name of Mecha-Gregole. Rygama was his main kaiju. This made during that time I enjoyed taking art trades.

Rygama is a powerful asskicker regardless of proportion or height . Making her SD just makes the scenario that much more awesome.

Man... if the Arena really was like that, I'd still be going. XP (No offense MM, lol)

This is great- I love the decapitated head against the glare of the sun, haha. Ry looks great, and the quote certainly fits. Another SD success, it looks like!

Most of the time I end up reading about how broken FW Godzilla is and who was voting for which monster or something to that effect.

Flying, haloed, decapitated head is gold .

RenDragonClaw In reply to DinoHunter2 [2009-01-08 02:05:18 +0000 UTC]

Yep, thats just about what they were talking about, along with the usual flaming and ego stacking. The way they were talking about FW Godzilla was like how most of us talk about Chuck Norris. Same thing extended to Mothra Leo in some respects.

They also had a conversation awhile back about the big hubub Toho made out of YouTube. Some guy that 'knew the company' (lolz) was trying to convince everyone that Toho was just doing what it needed to do as a company. Yeah...I know. Nutty shit was going on and otherwise it was pretty trite and I couldn't find much stuff on originals so stopped bothering with it.

RenDragonClaw In reply to DinoHunter2 [2009-01-08 07:28:01 +0000 UTC]

Could be either, I'm not really sure. Its most likely Toho Kingdom's forums. It said 'Kaijuphile' somewhere in there I'm certain.

Aha- then you were at Kaijuphile, aka Rodan's Roost. Sounds about right- that's how they were all behaving last time I went there. Kinda disappointing that in all that time they havn't cleaned up their act, but ah well. The DA kaiju community is a hundred times more interesting anyway.

Hello new desktop...

I sat here for several minutes with just a blank. There's really not much I can say that the picture doesn't do a much better job of stating itself.

This is prettymuch perfect. Everything feels just right. The angry glare, the toothy grin, the bristling spines, the punk effect, the shiny, insectile surface, the sense of fitness. All of it.

The feet particularly strike me. The three rows of scutes on the foot segments weren't a part of the original design, but I think they look far better. More balanced and natural, and don't hurt her insect surface at all.

The colors work perfectly. The red, orange and black compliment each other far better than I could've hoped.

The background astounds me. I really have no idea how you managed to put all that together. With layering I guess I could see it, but that's still a strange and alien concept to me.

The humor is.... really, I don't even know what to say that it doesn't say for itself. It left both me and Terra on our sides. Which kinda hurt...


The crumpled body is appropriately vague. The pose kinda shines over it.

All in all, this is epic in every way imaginable.

RenDragonClaw In reply to GREGOLE [2009-01-07 05:59:10 +0000 UTC]

And with that my work is done . I must say Gregole, it was a real pleasure working with her. Your baby is the one of the most fun kaiju to draw and I really hope she goes places someday. Teach those crotchity Toho geezers that giant monsters can be fun again.

The background was new excercise for me. The crowd and the building itself are on different layers. The perspective is still 'meh' but its a dynamic improvement over the usual fare.

I'm glad the humor had that much of an effect on you . Consider this a well earned thank you gift for your part of the trade. Cheers man .
