Description

Here it is, the final piece of the monochrome paintings of Toho's Big Five - MechaGodzilla 1974!

This certainly presented a challenge. The other monsters didn't exactly have smooth textures and edges. But that's what made this such a fun piece to make!

I was going to only use shades of gray when I originally envisioned this piece, wanting it to come off as "silver". Especially after seeing them applied (in my usual darkest-to-lightest technique), simply using grays would have made it come off as a grayscale image, like one of my black-and-white paintings, albeit more elaborate. Much like how using a yellow ultimately made my Ghidorah painting come off as gold and not sepia-tone, using a light blue as a highlight gave it that metallic look I was going for. Plus, using blue (both as a highlight and underlight) also comes full-circle to the Godzilla piece.

(I may have to try a second round of these at some point. Maybe with the Heisei designs, and maybe even mix it up a little, like a red Godzilla and blue Ghidorah, say.)


16x20 canvas; acrylics
