Description

This is it guys, probably the last SD kaiju I'll be doing for a long ,long time. You can check my journal for why that might be. So I put most of my skills to the task in this pic. Cell shading, gradients, water effects, lighting and of course the glow. Wouldn't be and SD Kaiju if I didn't make something glow for the hell of it now lol. Only thing I'm not happy about is the shape of the fire. The black line is annoying but I can't change the color of it without outright erasing it.

We have some classic 'Yongary: Monster of the Deep' homages here. Silver jet pieces, plastic tanks, a collapsed bridge and...blood in the water. Oh yeah, and lots of fire. Another SD Kaiju staple is of course the usual pyromania. SD Yongary is really enjoying himself, blasting crap and generally being very active as he is known to be. I altered the design a bit, the 'damon' shell got fixed to represent the tri point theme the rest of Hybrid Yongary's design does. Its also a different color then 'Yonggary's' Damon crystal which is a blue thing on his head I believe. Not only is it a control device its also a power indicator. Its pity the colors make it look so much like Olragon in way but I decided to go with a mixed palate of the Korean Poster art and the various study designs. Major thing was that I wanted Yongary to be truly seperate from Godzilla and Gamera. See I see it as way of primary color systems. Godzilla glows blue (usually), Gamera charges red, so I figured Yongary would focus on Yellow. He's also very earthy everywhere else on him though everytime I look at his horn I think of a carrot now. You can't tell by the blinding light of the fire beam breath but his teeth, claws, and tail spikes are made of the same material. Its this shiny mineral thats an extremely resiliant composite he naturally produces. Much like our enamel but with the intent of going through granite and rock more then just food. I did this since the Showa Yongary, for whatever reason, had shiny teeth. I figured since his teeth are shiny, his claws and tail spikes would be shiny as well.

So the humor source. A long time ago, there was this animator that made stick figure movies that were hilariously brutal in their protrayal of life's idioms. One that was particularly hilarious was a little cotton dude that said really 'happy' things while his friends all danced and sang along....until he suddenly caught a really nasty case of red tide.

Now in Yongary's titular movie, THIS HAPPENS!

And so the joke has now come full circle.
