Monster X

Here’s my take on Monster X. While I did enjoy sculpting this kaiju, it was actually by far one of the most difficult ones especially working around the head and face. Getting that resemblance from the original was rough and had to do many passes to get it right.

For my redesign I did make the proportions a bit exaggerated to give him a more alien look. He just needed to look like he can move and properly fight Godzilla. I took lots of inspiration from Doom and Bloodborne and wanted to incorporate that into my sculpt for the boss and demon look. More importantly Monster X just needed to look like a final boss character, which is why I kept a lot of those Japanese design elements

When it comes to redesigning Monster X I do t think he needs a redesign and I actually do like the more humanoid look. It makes him more alien and demonic. I wouldn’t like it if a redesign looked very animalistic and grounded. Just like Gigan, Destroyah and Biollante, Monster X is great example of a masterpiece of Japanese design.
