Awww yeah, who doesn't love a fan made kaiju? This one was actually a rare personal piece I indulged in some time after watching Pacifim Rim (... twice!) in theater. That movie is still a favorite for me visually. Gads, I friggin' love the aesthetic of the monsters.

Because I'm tired and a bit later, I'll just copy and paste what I rambled on it back in the day from the FA version:

"I nicknamed this guy Ōtsuchi after an old samurai bashing weapon supplied to me via Wikipedia, which I thought seemed fitting. He’s a pretty hefty Cat 4 with huge land speed, some seriously massive bulk in the front, and a swath of electrified fleshy “mane” tentacles that discharge on contact, making him the Kaiju equivalent of a battering ram/taser two-for-one. On the flipside, his ungulate legs and rear look pretty frail compared to the rest of him, and they’d probably be the easiest parts to break and cripple him. I don’t think I’d want to be on the receiving end of any charges regardless, though. That skull dome turned out meaner looking than I thought it would. "

I totally had the movie soundtrack blasting the whole time I painted this, too, and I'll attest that it definitely made the painting process a lot more badass.

Enjoy!
