Today’s theme on Sketchdaily was “Kaiju”. I had no idea what that is, but Wikipedia helped out:
“From Japanese “strange beast” …a film genre that features monsters, usually attacking a major Japanese city or engaging other monsters in battle.”
I did not feel like drawing Godzilla or the Michelin man, but gorillas? Yes!. So here is King Kong.
It is pretty hard to find references with angry gorillas. They are powerful, but also so gentle. So this is my own guess on how a giant gorilla might look like, when it’s huge as a house, really scarily angry, and the star in a Kaiju movie.
I could probably have done the perspective more extreme for the action theme, to underline the Kaiju twist, but I am happy with the drawing as it is now too.
