@moss I think this depends on art style. Basing off of the original Godzilla would probably invoke a feeling of nostalgia and probably restricted to monochrome. The showa and heisei era films are going to be a good reference for anthropomorphic godzillas with a sillier style. The millennial godzillas are still anthropomorphic, but a little more serious-looking. Either Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II (heisei) or Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (millenial) would be a good choice for lighting. The reiwa era films departed from the era of actor-in-suit godzillas with their own unique style. The “no true scotsman” answer is to restrict only to Tōhō films because Hollywood godzillas are not considered godzillas, but their own kaijū.

    @mradcliffe thank you so much!!! I do want to see the original but I think you make a great point — light and color is a huge motivator in my art. Some anthropomorphism here is definitely worth exploring for this piece. And tysm for thoughts re: tōhō vs Hollywood !
