#design references

You ever notice how Teto has the roundest eyes you’ve ever seen? Complete circles. It honestly messed me up at first when trying to make her.

I primarily referenced her goodsmile PopUp Parade figure when working on her face. She’s an interesting character because I feel like everyone draws her so differently..but I knew she’d be performing with miku the most out of anyone in the crew, and I went very classic for miku. So classic face for Teto!

0-1-2-4 in sequence of tentacles and becoming whole again. 0-1-2-3 to signify something is lost but something is gained.

Arc 1 NM’s scar is a hole that you can see through.

A3 NM needs darker boots (or different shoes.) Pants should be a consistent color with the last season, or a warmer tone to evoke autumn more.

Additionally may change the star pattern. It’s cool, but unnecessary. Evokes idea of hope/determination, which is a central theme but not quite in this style… plus, the yellow already does that.

Scarf likely swapped for cravat because he’s That Bitch; and in that case, a proper shirt or blouse. This should make the visual transition to A4’s ensemble easier.

A4 NM needs more colors/brighter tones to signify the growth of his character. Since he is the ‘final look’, there should be a much more visible difference between him and spring. (Although my heart says black looks very good on him.)

A4 may get the bright color inside and dark color outside treatment on his coat.

A4 Dream also may receive diff colors on capulet. Making it yellow outside and teal inside would be interesting.

Design notes:

NM does get taller as the seasons pass; I reason as both the heels of his shoes LMAO and the growing power/negativity he amasses.

The outfits really don’t matter that much because I will play dress up with them anyway. But for the sake of references.

He always tucks his pants into his boots.

Refuses shorts. (“I look like a child.”)

Driven to make his own clothing after having to steal/alter other people’s clothing. Hates wearing other people’s clothes.

Bandanna/scarf and patch fabric (all yellow material) is scrap fabric cut from the Unfinished Tapestry (Dream’s cape.) Symbolic of healing/love.

Smiles more each development because he’s happier and more at peace. And because he’s a smarmy prick.

FIRST OF ALL. I’m just new to Godzilla fandom, and the reason why I’ve been itching to design is one: other artists’ godzilla gijinka designs are HELLA beautiful and it motivates me to design one as well, and two: I just FKING LOVE D&D. So BOOM. CROSS-OVER. And FYI, all of these kaijus are Lv. 20 coz they’re Gods lol.

AND NOW FOR FAQ AND DESIGN REFERENCES:

I. GODZILLA

1. “Why isn’t Godzilla a dragonborn or lizardfolk?”

This is a gijinka fanart. Sure, lizardfolks and dragonborns are perfect for Goji, but I just want him to be a half-dragon for the fun of it.

2. “But isn’t Half-dragon a homebrew race?”

Yes, i’m aware of it. Like I said, I do this just for fun.

3. “Why is he a samurai? Should his fighting style be hand-to-hand combat or whatever?”

I chose him to be a Samurai because, duh, he originated from japan, and represented as Japan’s most iconic monster.

4. “Why is he using a greatsword when he’s a monk?”

Kensei monks can use any weapons: one melee and one ranged.

5. “Why is he Chaotic Good? Shouldn’t he be Lawful Neutral/True Neutral? Shouldn’t he also be Lawful when he’s a monk?”

One: you don’t have to be lawful when you’re a monk. You can be as diverse as you want in 5e. Two: I don’t mind with any alignments for Goji, actually. But i chose him to be chaotic good coz although he’s a force of nature, and doesn’t care much about humans, he needs to defeat other kaijus to bring balance of the world. He’s like an anti-hero for me. That’s just me. You can interpret whatever alignment you want him to be.

6. “I thought Godzilla was a female?????”

If you’re talking about the 1998 Zilla, yes, but “she’s” not the OG Godzilla we know. I’m aware that a lot of people are arguing about this, but it’s already cleared that he’s called “King of the Monsters”.

II. MOTHRA

1. “Why is she a Half-Kreen? Couldn’t she be a feywild or any fairy-type race? What the hell is even Half-Kreen?”

I would, but it’s more appropriate when she’s a half-insect. Half-Kreen is basically a humanoid insect race. Although it’s only a homebrew race, Half-Kreen is the most accurate coz unlike Thri-Kreens (mantis-type race), it doesn’t specify any insects.

2. “Isn’t Twilight Druid an Unearthed Arcana/playtested class?”

Yes. I know UA classes are a big no no for AL, but I’m choosing it for the fun of it. You can change any druid subclasses that suits her if ya’ll want to play as her.

3. “What weapons does she used?”

A druidic staff of course! I was thinking the design would be wooden attached with fake butterflies/small moths accessories, and flowers that moths are attracted to like jasmine, honeysuckle, evening primrose, sweet rocket and night-scented Stock. And oh she also uses a dagger coz she a bad kween bih you don’t wanna messed with.

III. RODAN

(Apparently there weren’t much questions about Rodan, so I guess everyone’s ok with him LMAO, but I’ll explain more stuff about his design:)

1. Why do I choose Aztec/Mayan designs?

All I can say is because he was born from Mexico lol. I was also inspired by artworks of Aztec fire god Xiuhtecuhtli.

2. Since I referenced his outfit from Aztec/Mayan culture, doesn’t he have feathered head dress like most of the gods have?

Yes, he has a head dress. I’ll work on his design sheet soon. :D

3. What are his weapon of choices?

Although he mostly casts magic, he would use a falchion, daggers and his armored claws :D

IV. GHIDORAH

1. “Why the f*ck is he fallen aasimar when you can choose him to be a half-elf or half-dragon??”

Ghidorah is mostly described as “a dragon who fell from the stars”. Since he came from space, I tried to convert his origin into armageddon/religious/biblical aesthetics to fit in fantasy world. So yeah, he’s basically a monster version of Lucifer. And besides, he can be half-dragon with his draconic bloodline sorcerer class.

2. “Shouldn’t he be lawful when he’s a paladin?”

Not all paladins have to be lawful. I mean, Joe Manganiello’s Arkhan is a neutral evil draconic paladin, so everything’s possible in 5e right now.

3. “Doesn’t he have two other siblings since he’s a three-headed dragon?”

I’ll be working on them soon heehee~

4. “Shouldn’t he be a gold draconic bloodline sorcerer, instead of bronze?”

Golden dragons cast fire sadly. Blue and bronze dragons are the only ones with lightning.

5. “What are his weapon of choices?”

A big ass greatsword and a big ass shield, of course :D All of them are gold and designs of his monster counterpart, obviously.
