"Dragon hates everyone," "Bro's doing it for the money," that man has 3 children he has raised, a drag queen friend who has probably changed his sex multiple times as a joke, a deep sympathy for Robin, saved TWO children he didn't actually need to save (which one ended up becoming YOU KNOW WHO), and has survived multiple backshots from Crocodile

Iva: Be careful, Croco-boy, or I'll tell everyone your secret~

Crocodile, internally: He's gonna tell everyone I impregnated a man.

Iva, internally: That's right, I know you're Whitebeard's son.

[They each had different ideas of what constituted as a life ending secret, but it works out fine in the end, right?]

ATOM Stop Motion Puppets: Minerva and Crocogon

I spent the last couple of states in a weird fugue state working on stop motion puppets and ignoring the internet for the most part, and today I’m showing you the results!

Our first two models are of Minerva and Crocogon.  Figuring out how to make Minerva was difficult - I’ve done human puppets before, but they generally wear a lot of clothes, and Minerva’s outfit is kind of lightweight by design (that’d be a lot of fabric to sew together considering she’s, y’know, 100 feet tall).  I had to try and stay true to her look while also hiding seams as best as I could.  I considered using clothe for her skin like I do with the other puppets, but it felt not-right - she had to use the Crayola model magic to have that bona fide human look.  As a result, she’s one of the heaviest models despite being smaller than most of the others.

Crocogon was a lot easier.

ATOM Kaiju File # 15: Crocogon

Date Discovered: June 14th, 1954 Place of Origin: Typhon Island Notable Stomping Grounds: Typhon Island Height: 40 feet (75 feet with sail) Length: 245 feet Biology: A primitive carnivorous retrosa…

Another two-fer for you!  Today we have Crocogon, an homage to slurpasaurs (i.e. the Hollywood special effect of “putting makeup on crocodiles and lizards and using camera tricks to make them seem huge”) and...

...Bronton, i.e. the requisite long neck.  Crocogon got (yet another) new name, while Bronton got a new color scheme.  Do YOU know what Bronton’s new color scheme is a reference to?

This is the start of a short retrosaur-related blitz in the ATOM Kaiju Files.  This is a Lost World-inspired story arc, so it’s a given.  The kaiju that follow those posted this week will be a little weirder, but for now enjoy the retro-dinosaur-art-inspired goodness.

30 Day Kaiju Challege Day 26: Majestic

The twenty sixth entry in my take on the 30 Day Kaiju Challenge.  I know most people would make a kaiju with wings or feathers or a big luxurious mane or something, but to me there are few things more majestic than a crocodile swimming in its element.  I gave this guy a bunch of dragony touches as well to up the majesty.

This critter is probably part of the group of crocodilians whose descendants evolved into retrosaurs, making it a distant relative of Tyrantis.
