Kaiju Revamp - Gudisby ~Bracey100

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Conceptual

I swear these things are getting more complicated as I go along lol! The inking and the coloring on this one were the most involved yet. Anyone on to the breakdown. Gudis is a rather interesting enemy from the series Ultraman: Towards the Future. I enjoy Ultraman but Im not a huge buff of the series. Ive only seen the original show from the 70's in its entirety and a number of movies (many without the benefit of subs or dubs). So doing Ultra Monsters requires more research than say Godzilla stuff which I know backwards and forwards.

Gudis is fairly nasty, he's a kaiju sized parasitic virus. When defeated he can infect another being and become a new Gudis. Well the parallel I drew was obvious my Gudis would draw inspiration from The Thing From Another World. I researched monster concepts from the old and new movie (the Rob Botin monster is VERY slimy while the prequel creature is far less so). Lots of good ideas to be had there. I also cherry picked the eyes from the Brain Bug from Starship Troopers while finding my own unique approach to them. Given that Gudis had 2 forms I elected to mostly go with the Mars Gudis features but the squid-like tentacles of Super Gudis. The nastly mouths on my tentacles were inspied by 2 Stephen King movie monsters: the Shit Weasels from Dreamcatcher and the Tentacle Monster from The Mist. Both of those creatures are forever burned into my mind! F'ing creepy!!! The main mouth is well...a bit sexual...its for me to get away from the impact HR Giger and films based on his work have had on me. Gudis had no visible means of propulsion and since I didnt want to repeat the snail thing I went with two large dragging arms and a lot of cilia. For texture and colors I studies lots of pictures of tumors and gangrene. DONT EVER LOOK UP GANGRENE IF YOU ARE MALE!!! You have been warned.

So here we have my Gudis, a creeping, nasty, giagantic disease. God, everything about him just feels infectious! Ugh. He has all the features of the original but I think the additional eyes, claws and teeth coupled with his overall unhealthy, putrid look ad a whole new level of threat and disgust to this interesting Ultra Monster.

Cool design, nice job on all the details too, looks very textured.

~Bracey100 Jun 4, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Texture and detail are apparently my thing. Im obsessed with them to the point of distraction I think.

*chris-illustrator Jun 5, 2013

Well it adds an extra dimension to your work, so keep it up. I can only spend so much energy on textures before I bored and move on, but it's a great look, I'd do more if I had the decipline.

I hear you, I love it but it IS grueling work to be sure.

I love it! makes me think of Howard's "Valley of the Worm" Amazing shading, especially on those two long tentacles

~Bracey100 May 31, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks very much, I spent a lot of time on the color work.

~KingOvRats Jun 1, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

And it was absolutely worth it!

~cfakatsuki May 13, 2013

Now that, is a monster, u should do more of these forgotten monsters, throw some more ultramans and old Kiaju back up to glory like Guilala or Red King or yonggary

~Bracey100 May 18, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Thank you and all three of those monsters are on the list. Ultraman is a particular goldmine for little known but very cool kaiju. I look forward to eventually drawing them all.

~cfakatsuki May 18, 2013

Awesome, I can't wait to see them
