Also here’s the next two Toho kaiju designs of mine. Is good. Have day.Design notes:Rodan is a Yi qi descendant rather than a pterodactyl, because although the membranous wings are clearly pterosaur-like, pterosaurs don’t have the grasping birdy-feet Rodan has in every canon incarnation up to and including KOTM. I still made her (yes, she’s a female, since there were a mated pair of Rodans in the original movie) quadrupedal though because a very large flier would need hugely muscled wings and that’d make it too front- or top-heavy to be fully bipedal. The feathers meanwhile are based off Bracey100′s Feathered Rodan, albeit arranged differently; I initially considered volcanic veins like Legendary but this worked better with her classification.Mothra takes from the Showa and Heisei versions as well as a touch of Legendary and embellishments from swallowtails and fireflies. She’s a caddisfly relative here, since Wikipedia says her mouthparts are like caddisflies and these insects have been around since the Triassic, maybe even earlier. Plus the young are aquatic, meshing well with the larval Mothra being a strong swimmer.Rodan and Mothra © Toho -- source link
