Zilla

This was done on my IPhone with the Sketchbook app. Out of all the iterations of Godzilla out there, I think this one resembles the old Aurora model version... except that this one has atomic breath.

Wow! You did this on your iphone?

Do you like the sketchbook app better than the brushes app ?

Love it--and I love that original, cro-magnon Godzilla look. As a kid, I preferred the leaner, later version, and felt ripped-off when I was finally able to see first Godzilla flick and realized (1) couldn't see much in B&W, (2) he looked like prehistoric-man version of the Godzilla I loved and (3) where were the monster enemies?!

"Where is Ghidrah (sp?)? Why does everyone think Godzilla's the bad guy? This movie is all messed up..."

I appreciate the first one now that I am an adult. And there's a rawness in the first model that really works. Clunky 'zilla.

Deane: Yes, now that I've figured it out I like Sketchbook better. I just wish it had an eyedropper... perhaps it does and I just haven't found it yet. I should probably do an internet search to see what I can dig up.

I just bought a Pogo stylus and tried it out for the first time today... it works pretty well. It's not as pointy as a DS stylus, but it works better than my finger for drawing.

Marty: I have the recent DVD of the original Gojira with both the American/Raymond Burr version and the Japanese version with subtitles. I love that movie... it is so rough and unrelentingly grim. I wonder how many Japanese films pivot on a dark male character having a change of heart after listening to a female or child sing?
