New art of King of the Monsters, Godzilla, the legendary reptilian star of Japanese studio, Toho.
Updated 3/30/2023
This illustration depicts a colossal snake that arose from the depths of Lake Michigan and does battle with Godzilla in front of the Chicago skyline. The scene was based on the new composition "Godzilla in Chicago" by Michiru Oshima.
I had free range to choose which of the many versions of Godzilla I used, so I went with the GMK design, from the movie, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. A bit of a mouth full to say, but great flick with awesome creature designs, and an absolutely vicious take on Godzilla.
The Sea Serpent was a brand new creature created for the music with no established design. For inspiration, I looked at real-life animals like the anaconda, which spends a lot of its time in the water, the moray eel, and a sunfish for its spikey fins.
Work in progress for a new commission I'm working on.

This is absolutely stunning Chris! I really love how it has a sense of depth & movement to it, not to mention all the smaller details you included! Fantastic!
