Chan Takashi Takes on King Ghidorah Sculpt

Chan Takashi's King Ghidorah sculpt from above.
For most of us King Ghidorah needs no description. He is a kaiju one of the most popular kaiju's from Toho studious and a fierce foe of Godzilla. Physically, he is an armless, three-headed dragon with large wings and two tails.

Chan Takashi continues to wow fans with a new sculpt in progress. After his first Godzilla 2014 sculpture fans immediately reacted and Chan Takashi was encourages to create a second Godzilla 2014 sculpture. Both sculptures went viral. keeping up with the creative momentum we have had an opportunity to see a preview of his new sculpture; King Ghidora.

As you can see, Chan still uses disposable chopsticks as scaffolding as he begins to shape and sculpt. Check out the images below as Chan Takashi begins his new King Ghidora sculpture.

Chan Takashi amazed us with his first sculpture of the new Godzilla 2014, at the time we had very few clues as to what the Godzilla reboot would look like. Thanks to Chan Takashi we were able to rely on his imagination come to life to get a possible preview of our favorite king of monsters.

Chan Takashi's  first Godzilla Sculpt from November

After receiving multiple comments from around the world, Mr. Takashi is took another try at the Godzilla 2014 figure and was kind enough to give us the exclusive in-progress photo in our post Chan Takashi Does Godzilla 2014 Again!

Chan Takashi's next Godzilla Sculpture in production
"This is the new Godzilla 2014 sculpture in production, it's based on comments from Godzilla fans across the world" -- Chan Takashi, Japan

After receiving multiple comments from around the world, Mr. Takashi is taking another crack at the Godzilla 2014 figure and was kind enough to give us the exclusive in-progress photo. He says it will be complete in December, but as you can see he has already made some progress. It even looks like he is using the same methodology of disposable chopsticks as scaffolding to prop up Godzilla during the production process.

We had only one question for Chan Takashi.

Will he have gills? He assured us, "Yes, I will be adding the gills."

Stay tuned as we share sketches and hopefully more work from Chan Takashi. What do you think? Leave your comments below.

Japanese Man Sculpts a Preview of Godzilla 2014

A Godzilla 2014 Sculpture by Chan Takashi
"(1998年作)のハリウッドゴジラは、世界中のゴジラファンからブーイングが あり失敗作といえます" --Chan Takashi

Japanese resident Chan Takashi has sculpted the closest thing to a preview of Godzilla 2014. The quote above is from his Facebook page and when translated expresses how fans had a poor reaction to the 1998 TriStar version of Godzilla.

This disappointment was shared by Shogo Tomiyama, the man in charge of the Godzilla franchise, and Ryuhei Kitamura, the director of Godzilla: Final Wars. The 1998 Godzilla was given a completely new identity and renamed to just "Zilla", based on the feeling that TriStar "took the 'God' out of 'Godzilla'"

Changes to Godzilla's design from movie to movie is not uncommon. Godzilla has changed size, number of toes, eye color and even some versions are without ears. This new design looks promising if it is close to Chan Takashi's interpretation. The best part is the face. Chan has really captured what is essential to a Godzilla design; the low brow, the short dog-like muzzle.

Another great part of the design is it still could be a man in a suit, the stance he chose for the pose is perfect. I always thought when Godzilla was standing still he reminded me of a boxer waiting for an opponent. 

Chan Takashi built this on a base of chopsticks. and we hope he shares more. Great job Chan Takashi!
