how would you create godzilla

i think the design is "good" and good enough for the movie, but i feel it's too generic looking.

How would I create Godzilla?

Well, you take one Godzillasaurus, one Hydrogen bomb, one Pacific Atoll, and just a hint of reckless ambition and arrogance, aaaand...

All kidding aside, I think they did everything right when designing this new Godzilla!  He may look a little different if I were designing him, but I doubt he'd look as cool! :D

Welcome to the site! :)

And I would pretty much take the head of the original Gojira. Put emphasis on the souless eyes, always looking down at the people he towers over. He would have a low, bellowing roar.

His body would be similar to the LegendaryGoji's, with the bear-like stance and thick legs, along with the massive tail. And his dorsal spines will we similar to crystals, in the way they glow when he is about to fire his atomic breath.

Btw! First post! Hi everyone! 

Before seeing the absolutely fantastic Legendary design, with the gills and massive feet, I'd probably veer more towards the original, with a more dinosaur-ish face and a massive proportion. 

I love the Legendary design. That said;

I would probably model it based on different Godzilla designs, find which parts from which design works the best, and incoporate them. Then a small bits of editings in the face and so. Finally, i would give it a more realistic crocodille skin like in the new movie.

Ledendary have done a fantastic job with the new godzilla design.

Id go with roughly the same skin texture of it and make the spines bigger. Id also get rid of the gills or make them smaller. Oh and Id make im taller by say, 30-40 meters.

my design would have similar scutes of godzilla 2k but with bone like coloring meaning they would look really spiky and that but it would not be too big and some scutes would be even and some won't. next the body would be pretty slim with a upside down traingle like chest and the shoulders would have like 2 or 3 scutes on top of them making them more noticeable as for the feet it would have at least 4 toes looking like bulky type dinosaur feet. the tail would be the same as the one right now but would have my g2k type scutes. then the head would look like the one right now but without gills ( i have reasons )

I have actually sketched my own reimagining of Godzilla.

I made him appear almost as if he had barely survived the nuclear bomb, with blackened, partially melted flesh, dead white eyes, and bones protruding through his hide. It is meant to both invoke a nightmarish image, while still inspiring sympathy for this creature; as much a victim of nuclear devastation as he is a symbol of it...
