A variety of early concepts for Mothra from Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters has begun to find its way online! The concepts we're showcasing today were created by the very talented Luca Nemolato. He provided a few alternative designs to the new Monsterverse Mothra - with varying color schemes. One of which gave Mothra a more Wasp-like appearance, but they all look very similar to the design which was eventually chosen for the film. Check out his concepts below and be sure to check out these images in FULL SIZE, along with even more Godzilla 2 concept art in our Official Godzilla 2 Concept Art Gallery!

A very early #Mothra concept I did for #godzillakingofthemonsters . These was at the beginning of the design process where I was trying different ideas, especially for the face.




Here some more concepts I did for Mothra in #godzillakingofthemonsters
A lot of people were involved in designing these creatures, it was all a collaboration going back and forth with different artists to find the final looks. So credit goes to everyone!
