Kaiju Revamp - The Giant Clawby ~Bracey100

Digital Art / Drawings / Illustrations / Conceptual

Ah The Giant Claw, the worst of all kaiju. Such a horrible monster it desperately needed a revamp. The monster (a bird from outer space with an antimatter force field as big as a flying battleship) looked like a cross between a giant turkey, vulture and pinata. So with the them of alien bird in mind I angled for something more Gigeresque here, since Giger will always be definitively alien for me. I couldnt seem to get away from feathers though without my designs straying to far from the original and would in fact have ended up looking like a Banshee from Avatar. So I went with the California condor for inspiration as well as prehistoric terror birds (nasty predatory ground birds up to 9 feet tall). Google The Giant Claw and I think you'l see I did this more justice than it ever deserved.

I think Ive been working on this for 3 days non stop now, all that Alien style detail takes a LOT of time to draw. This piece was also done completely digitally in the same process as Gabara: PS pencils, AI inks, PS colors. Done in something like 24 hours over 3 days...yeah Im slow.

Well, the cut the costs and hired a third-rate Mexican SFX studio to make the puppet and all the effects... what were you expecting

(and I'm not makin' that up, they really did hire a third-rate Mecican SFX company)

But still, there is something in that ridiculously terrible design that makes you like the guy, however, while the original was goofy at best, you managed to "pimp it out" into something genuinely terrifying, great job ^^

Thanks very much. Yeah I hate the claw for sure (and those crazy flaring nostrils) but it is so ugly that you cant take your eyes off of it.

Hahahah I never thought I;ll see this guy looking epic.

~Bracey100 Apr 14, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

LOL I know, fortunately my hatred of that stupid puppet drove me to make something cool!

~KingOvRats Apr 14, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I was wondering do you draw only Kajiu or som other old movie monsters like Harryhausen's creations?
