Possible DESIGN of the King

[Zigra]

And personaly, the Winston design for Goji - the model not the drawing which kind of predated the GMK design - is too reptilian.

FYI, in G54 Godzilla was designed after what people mistakenly thought theropod dinosaurs looked like back then. So, Godzilla was originally mean't to look reptilian, and if "Gojira" had been made in modern times, I'm sure he would have been designed to look more like how we now know theropods looked.........just like what Winston did.

[Darth Reaper]

Personally, I wouldn't want them to bring the G'94 version to life. It's a better concept than what G'98 turned out to be, but I still want something that's closer in spirit to the original. I want Godzilla to be nature's fury come to life and man's penance for playing with forces that we didn't understand and couldn't control.

Stan Winston's Godzilla design was awesome though. The only thing I'd change is that I'd make the legs even more T-Rex-like, with him standing on three toes and having a fourth toe near the ankle. I'm kind of knitpicky like that.

Yea, but let's keep that old design. Keep the wrinkled skin and such, do not update the design to sync up with dinosaurs/lizards. At most, keep it to a G2K level if you want to go in that direction. But going to dinosaurian instead of fallowing the classic Godzilla template is wrong. VERY wrong. :hmmm:

that was shown very well with the 1998 film

[Godzilla]

This: http://roberthood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/g94a.jpg
would totally be acceptable as a godzilla suit to me. They probably aren't gona use it since it shouldn't have relation to previous failed attempts (and the succesfully fail attempt).

I'm sure Legendary will do a good job for the suit (or cgi), but you atleast have to have Godzilla be instantly recognized as Godzilla. Having all the unique details and whatever are fine as long as it isn't ridiculous such as Godzilla being pink and having a giraffe neck or something. And of course have all the neccesary attributed or else it will still be a GINO. Having a new Godzilla that looks like Godzilla but gets destroyed by machine gun fire and can't produce a beam weapon is almost worse than the original GINO (Because then people will associate all versions with this weakness rather than differentiating the 2 because of their different designs).

Aww, c'mon Orc. I know you'd pay money to see Poofzilla: The Movie. ;)

[Godzilla]

There are a variety of reasons why you're missing the point. But, yes I would see that movie.

[Kaiju_Sensai]

So do you thing the design should be more humanoid like the classic Godzilla or more dinosaurian like Delgado's. Maybe something along the lines of Always 2. I really do hope they hire Stan Winston Studios. That design is a beautiful piece of work and cannot go unused, it just can't! Here's a few designs I wouldn't mind seeing.

If it were up to me, I'd go with a combination of the two.

[Morgoth]

Design wise, I think something like Always 2 is the way to go. Godzilla should be a juggernaut, not some sleek scrawny thing. Slow and unstoppable always gives a better sense of power than fast and spastic. But more importantly, he needs to act like Godzilla. No hiding from the military, no dying from a few missiles. Unstoppable and relentless, those two qualities aren't there, then what you have ain't Godzilla, whatever you call it and whatever it looks like.

[BS Digital Q]

Well, here's a little something to chew on courtesy of Monster Zero. Nope, its not a confirmed design, and could probably be just a rumor with no attachment, but one can hope.

Of course, I'm guessing this is just a random rumor, probably with no real merit. We're bound to get a ton of those now, flooding in just after the announcement.

I'd like to think, that after G'98, that Toho would have some guidelines before signing over their biggest creation again. :sly:


And last, What think the aslyum's knock-off is going to be called?

a remake of the Giant Behemoth of course! :sly: ;)

[biohazard85]

I like the look of the bust, just not crazy about it. The only thing is the head looks a little too small.

I like it, but it still reminds me too much of GINO. I'd have to see the body they plan attaching that to. I do like the streamlined skin textures, though - it does give the impression of something that spends a lot of time in water.

Godzilla is a juggernaut - he should both use gravity to his advantage and be weighed down by it. Something the size of a cruise ship bouncing between sky scrapers doesn't read well - even without addressing the ludicrous nature of the entire concept.

I would love to see something akin to the ALWAYS 2 design. That would be fantastic.

[alienhulk2099]

a remake of the Giant Behemoth of course!
Or Beast From 20,000 Fathoms!:laugh:

[anguirus55]

I'm pretty flexible as far as design work. G98 would have probably been acceptable (not good, acceptable) to me if not for the utter fail in capturing the attitude and spirit of the character.

I agree that bulk is important, so much so that the kangaroo posture is probably the way to go (realistic for a dinosaur, no, but a dinosaur is not the size of a skyscraper).

My personal fan wet dream would take lots of design cues from the Heisei era but with all the added flexibility and versatility that modern effects can convey. Like a Bob Eggleton painting come to life.

We need new, not old designs. As long as it keeps the essential features, I don't care what they do.

[Movie-Brat]

On second thought, you're right. Too true.

Question is, who should they hire to design him? Needs to be someone who can make him look badass. Updated but keeps the esscence of the original.

And I say, no to Rob Liefeld. Keep him away!

[BS Digital Q]

He'll likely be designed by whoever gets hired to do the SPFX.

[Movie-Brat]

In that case, would ILM or Weta be the best effects team for the job?

[BS Digital Q]

Honestly? Of the SPFX studios I know, I can't think of one that would *not* be good to hire. The Orphanage, ILM, Winston, Weta, Tautapolous (yeah, I went there), all the big FX companies are filled to the brim with extremely talented and innovative people.

Ultimately we should be more worried about the desicions of the director and producers on *how* they handle the SPFX group they go with, and what design they decide to choose.

[Kaiju_Sensai]

Well the first one is kinda a cross between Shodai & GMK Godzilla except even more demonic looking. I do agree about the second one it does look like Godzilla and Doomsday's illegitimate love child. :laugh:

[Movie-Brat]

That's true.

[G2KMaster]

Well, just for the sake of complaining, I saw someone think this is acceptable as Godzilla's posture:

http://www.lost-world.com/ingen/dinos/dinos/tyrtwo.jpg

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's too much like GINO. Godzilla always has and always should stand up like a human or humanoid. If he does go slanted, it shouldn't be any more than the G2K Goji...

[BS Digital Q]

Agreed. Visually a humanoid Goji makes more sense than a saurian one anyway.

[Raptor]

I still maintain Goji should be capable of a more horizontal stance WHEN MOVING. Initially, his design/actions were limited to what a guy in a suit could do but now there are other techniques to bring him to "life", right? ;)

Agreed. The Godzilla from the art poster of Godzilla 1984' is just the perfect image for a mean and powerful looking Godzilla.

[Hybrid Gojira]

The mock up BS posted has some cool features but the head looks more like Titano than Godzilla.

I like the power of the Heisei designs, and Kaiju Sensai's avatar is pretty awesome. The poster above is also fantastic...

[goji04]

Well, I'd like to make a comment that first of all Trex couldnt run, or very nuch well jump. And if u look at trexes they are not that scrawny.

This is just a case of a butthurt fanboy group. Ever since GINO, everybody in this fandom hates the whole theropod look. Just cuz it was in GINO doesn't mean it was a bad design. And as well, GINO wasn't that bad a movie either.

Rant aside, I too don't want a velociraptor with spines. But i'd like something on theropod legs, long arms, lifts it's tail, and what the heck even a trex/g2k crossover head. It also needs to look angry, and destructive.

[Raptor]

Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosaurus) (several T.rex references w/ footnotes to their source material. Getting off the ground (http://www.trexmuseum.org/moretrex.html). GINO was over-compensated no doubt as far as speed goes.
Any way you look at it, getting away from the Knight/man-in-suit posture brings Goji closer to a real animal. Then again, he is rather unique. ;)

[Hybrid Gojira]

Clover was a really interesting design. I don't think Godzilla has to be humanoid in stature to work; I think that is what we are so used to and maybe we are worried a new Gino is what we would get. Godzilla running actually has potential, providing it is in short bursts and not away from the military.

Then again, there is something about a slow moving Godzilla that is powerful. Bah, I can't seem to find a preference.

[Kaiju_Sensai]

Here's a couple more designs. I especially like the middle one.

Wow, they all look great. I can't decide which I like best.

[Darth Reaper]

At this point I want them to bring Stan Winston's design to life, or at least use it as the springboard for whatever they come up with. It's damn near perfect. It looks like Godzilla, but with more saurian features. I like it, I want it, and somebody needs to make it happen.

[Zardac the Great]

Yeah, I don't like the middle Godzilla there. It just doesn't look right.

Though, it does look a bit similar to that small headded Godzilla bust that's been floating around.

[zilla90]

Here's a couple more designs. I especially like the middle one.

http://kaijusamurai.deviantart.com/art/A-Trio-of-Godzillas-156742084

I like the middle one but if i were to choose which I would want to see in a movie it would have to be the one on the right. the middle one is too overblown, the one on the left is, to me, kinda simple looking for Godzilla, but the one on the right keeps that original Godzilla design while being kind of intimidating.

[HolyGoji777]

And as well, GINO wasn't that bad a movie either.



right. and not that many Jews died in the Holocaust.


GINO sucked in a special sort of way. not in a "this is so cheesy and campy its charming" way like the showa gamera films. no GINO sucked in a "OH MY GOD ITS MATTHEW BRODERICK SOMEONE GET ME A RUSTY SPOON SO I CAN GOUGE MY EYES OUT!!!!!!!!!!" sort of way.


regardless i think they need to just draw up a brand new design. although i do like the G84 poster because it has similarities to the original but with a new flare. something like that would be perfect

[Avery Guerra]

An article discussing several different designs of "Godzilla" some of which have already been seen here:

http://roberthood.net/blog/index.php/2010/05/03/possible-legendary-pictures-godzilla-design/

[Kaiju_Sensai]

I actually think that last one is a fan redesign of the Godzillasaurus not Godzilla.

[Movie-Brat]

I still don't mind the first design. It actually looks cool.

[X-SOLDIER]

http://roberthood.net/blog/index.php/2010/05/03/possible-legendary-pictures-godzilla-design/

I think that the top two are really good, but I wish that the head was more round, and less like a stubby crocodilian. I really hope that Godzilla is more of a monster, and less of a dinosaur in this film...



X :cool:

[Zardac the Great]

Still like the top one.

The second one is very cool, and I like the comparitively short tail.

The third one is highly blah.

I like the last one a lot, but not for a final version Godzilla.

[Hybrid Gojira]

I'm sure I care for ANY of those deisgns. The second one is the best, but pretty wicked looking akin to G2K. The top model is interesting, but hard to judge without the context of the full body. The rest suck.

[lbh]

This looks to be an early design of G-2012, I kind of like it:)

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

Looks like he's sporting a set of gills in that one.

[PyrasTerran]

I approve of that one. :)

[Zearatul]

While I find that one to be acceptable, I'm really partial to the Always 2 Design (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEXydQc9KE)

[X-SOLDIER]

So my main issue with the "supposed design" is that the head looks crocodilian, and the front jaws are really flat (though the skin design looks really good). Lizards don't have flat jaws past their eyes, and they don't abruptly slope off, it's a gradual taper. If they're going with a crocodilian look for Godzilla 2012, I would prefer something slightly more like the bottom sketch below the red line.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/X-SOLDIER/G2012.png

I personally really like Godzilla with a more rounded head, specifically when he also has non-flattened jaws.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/X-SOLDIER/G2012_Head.png

I'd like to see something more like a combination of this & the model images that lbh & some others have posted (though possibly not with as small of a head).

EDIT: I think this is what Zearatul was getting at.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/X-SOLDIER/G2012_Body.png
　


X :cool:

[Zardac the Great]

After the initial "Oh, Cool"ness of Godzilla coming back (even just for a minute), I decided that I really didn't like the Always 2 version very much.

The spines are especially bad, but I don't really like the rest either.

[Raptor]

I'm leaning toward a solid-looking head, especially the lower jaw. Then there is the nostrils. FELINE is a personal favorite, even if it "clashes" with reptilian but then again, look at the eyes we're used to seeing.


http://www.godzillamonstermusic.com/godzilla.jpg

LOTS (http://www.mechagodzilla.de/face.html) of options we've seen over the years.

Spines - NOT as overwhelming as they've gotten over the years. Glowing before a nice radioactive (blue/white) breath blast would be appropriate, I think, even if it might not necessarily "make sense." It just seems to add a nice extra touch to the discharge rather than G just "spitting" it out. :look:

Skin/scale texture - coarse vs. smooth, despite being an aquatic creature. Hey, radiation can do that to you!

[Hybrid Gojira]

Always 2 Goji is alright as a design, but not really my favorite. I almost anticipate a radical design, not GINO radical, but a departure from the typical Japanese Goji look. The head from this design http://kaijuphile.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=177&d=1273159051 is unique and probably in the vein of what we'll see. I'm not really sure I like it, but it is only a partially finished piece and may not even be the legit 2012 design.


Also, I almos think we'll see a more saurian Godzilla in the way he moves. CGI opens a whole new world of possibilities, and remember Kaneko wa going for a more saurian Godzilla look but the suit wasn't practical enough (too heavy?) to make Godzilla look more dinosaur-esque. The actor would have hunched over rather than stand straight up as we are accustomed to.

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Only 3 things I'm looking for;

Ears - Godzilla has ears. I love those little things. They're such an underappreciated physical feature that is often the first to get dropped, but they make him stand out from just being a big dinosaur.

Doral Spines - I hate the Heisei Spines. Three massive sets of spikes looks incredibly cumbersome and messy, I'd rather go with a classier arrangement with a central set being the largest with a pairs of considerably smaller ones running down the sides.

Drag his tail - It's not that hard. Nothing would look faker then a T-Rex with spines running around. Having a classic stance (hell, even some middle ground) demonstrates that it isn't trying to be realistic, it's just being a big monster. Godzillas a monster, not a Discovery Channel documentary.

[Gorjirus]

I might be completely off base with this, but isn't this new bust model the design that was going to be used for a different kaiju movie a couple of years ago? I could swear I have seen that before on this forum.

[Hybrid Gojira]

I do not recall seeing the design before, Gor.

[Zardac the Great]

I never saw it until G12 was announced, but I read something that said it probably wasn't LP's design.

Then again...it IS the internet...you never really know what's real and what's not.

[Gojira2000]

I read somewhere myself that the G2012 design we're speculating over is actually a model kit sold in Japan for some years now. What model that would be exactly I don't know, but I and know Toho is not keen on the selling of copyrighted items that don't closely resemble the originals or have their approval (the "Kongzilla" monster toy that Kyle Cooper owns, for example); so since this "design" is new to us I wonder if it isn't a private bootleg model of sorts... Or, it could just be an unused concept art done for previous G-films like G2000 or GFW--who knows? Case in point, though it's not unheard of for concept art and models to be passed around a studio very early into production (take GINO as an example--ER and DD used thier Zilla design as a sales pitch when trying to get rights from Toho, so they had that from the very begining), I think it is unlikely that this "new" Goji design has its origins in LP itself.

On a side note, I think it's a cool design, but too GINO-esque. The upper jaw is too thin and flat and squared. Why can't Hollywood be happy with a classic Heisei-head design?

[EternalMothra]

Cause impressing hollywood is nearly impossible. They are never satisfied. Long time no see Evan.

[Showa Godzilla]

I've always liked the Always 2 design, so something similar to that would be excellent. I also love the model Stan Winston made, It would be awesome to see that used in a movie. Whatever they decide to go with it should be close enough to Godzilla's design, and it should also be powerful. Godzilla should be a giant, powerul, Monster; A giant leviathan, an immense mountain of flesh and bone. I really hope they don't do what they did in Zilla, and try to make him a semi-realistic Dinosaur creature. Godzilla should be a giant monster, not a fast moving Dinosaur. Like Morgoth said "Slow and unstoppable always gives a better sense of power than fast and spastic".

[Zardac the Great]

I like the idea of a very saurian Godzilla. He IS a dinosaur. It's okay for him to look like one.

That said, I don't want something that is simply a "fire-breathing dinosaur with spines" I believe someone called it. I drew a picture of it once, and as noted, it...wasn't the most flattering picture I've drawn of Godzilla.

My vote goes for what has been called the "retrosaur" style. Not something horizontal like a non-mutated dino, and also not something completely erect like a human in a suit. Something in between. Kiryu-Goji comes closest to this, I think, although he does go fully erect from time to time. There was an Allosaur skeleton cast on Wikipedia I was going to use to illustrate this, but it seems to have been removed.


Don't particularly care for the Heisei head, but it's better than most Showa heads. I'd prefer something more saurian, but I won't riot if it looks like Heisei Goji.

I agree that Godzilla should move slow by default, but I agree with Raptor that he should be capable of bursts of speed. You know...like pretty much every land animal in existence.

[Movie-Brat]

I wouldn't mind if he body slammed a monster.

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

What the Big-G needs is some extra nipples. Ask Joel Schumacher, nipples are "ssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaaaa aaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

Dude, you are so clueless its hilarious.

[Kaiju_Sensai]

You know the more I see the proposed design the more I like it. Though I do have to ask one question. Is it just me or does that Godzilla look kinda like Biollante.

[chillening]

I'm pretty sure this was just a fan-made prop. Legendary Pictures wouldn't have concept models of Godzilla this early into production.

[mattman]

My idea for the design is to use the Stout-Godzilla from the unmade 80's version, or the Stan Winston-Godzilla from the unmade 1994 version, or a little bit of both mixed together.

Hey, at least it is faithful to the original Japanese characteristics.
