Stan Winston's Godzilla, Colorized

To take a break from our Holiday craze, here's a treat for you, Stan Winston/Crash McCreary's Godzilla, but colorized by yours truly!


While originally, the concept art for this take on the character implied something with more green and brown, I tried this color scheme with Godzilla, and it just did not work.  Thus, I tried something more grey, something more heavily based on the Showa suits, the Heisei suits, alligators, and sperm whales, and it looked much better.

As for the art itself, this was drawn by Crash McCreary for an American Godzilla movie that was being written during the mid-1990s, probably with a 1996 release intended, with Godzilla's origin being created as a weapon by an ancient civilization in order to fight off an invading alien monster, but it never saw the light of day, the projected got shelved and then got replaced by the Emmerich/Devlin GODZILLA of 1998.  I simply colored over it, and I rather liked how it turned out!

If you would like to know what the script for this movie was like, take a look at this link here.

As for how I colorized the picture so easily, I suggest you try to get a Bamboo tablet.  The disc it comes with features a free painting application that's remarkably easy to use.
