I also took a.spin at Narajin the Lion God and Supayra the last Destroyer from @raffleupagus s Daikaiju Yuki series. These two are my favorite hero and baddie monsters respectively, but i need to give the rest of the pantheon a whirl sometime.

I’ve been meaning to draw the Pantheon Colossi from @raffleupagus‘s Daikaiju Yuki series for a while now (more specifically, I meant to do so in early October, but time makes fools of us all), and well, better late than never! Even threw in Supayra and Piranhagon for funsies!

One of the primary inspirations for the golden Temple of Narajin was the Kinkaku-ji, or Golden Pavillion in Kyoto, which I visited as a kid.

Of course the Temple of Narajin is 100 meters tall, but the basic idea of a gold covered pagoda was directly inspired by this.

Narai City isn’t Kyoto, though - it’s actually in what’s now Nagano prefecture, which is pointed out if you paid attention to its proximity to the Kiso mountains.

Creature Appreciation: The Gargoyle

As some of you may know, a book by @raffleupagus was released, a little over a month ago now. It is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys kaiju media or just a fun story. It's really great. Of course I'm here to talk about one specific kaiju within the book, so spoilers abound. Seriously massive spoiler. Turn back now and read the novel. You've been warned. The Gargoyle is one of two new kaiju born during the climax, when the main villain attempts to use nuclear warheads to kill the free members of the Pantheon Colossi. This fails of course, but the kaiju who come next clearly intend to do it anyway. First is an insectoid kaiju, who is beaten by Yuki and Narajin, but the next one, and the one I'm focusing on, is the aptly nicknamed Gargoyle. The Gargoyle starts out humanoid, but after taking the full brunt of four out of five of the Pantheon Colossi, it is seemingly defeated...before it molts out of the body and takes off, now sporting arm wings. What follows is an exciting three way battle between the Gargoyle, the Pantheon Colossi, and Mokwa. The fight itself is a ton of fun, and the Gargoyle itself is a big part of that. The Gargoyle is great for a few reasons. From a story perspective, it's really interesting to see a new kaiju being born and evolve during the battle, and it gives the final battle a good impact when Yuki can actually kill their foe, as they can't actually do that to Mokwa, as she's one of their own. It allows the author to have an epic final confrontation where the outcome isn't one you know. If it was just between the Pantheon Colossi and Mokwa, chances are there would be no casualties, but with the Gargoyle the odds become less certain. Will it kill one of the Pantheon Colossi? Will it be killed itself? Or will it survive to menace them even longer? Another place the Gargoyle shines is it's pure brutal tenacity. It takes a LOT to bring it down, and it gives back every hit it takes. While it's personality doesn't really get showcased much, it doesn't really need anything more deep than what we get. It's a violent monster, plain and simple, and the perpetual toothy grin on it's face inforces that. It's smart enough to try and flee when out matched, even it's that's ultimately not enough. It deserves the effort the Pantheon put into killing it. The Gargoyle ultimately works from a narrative perspective, a story perspective, and from a writing perspective, being the perfect way to execute the final battle of Daikaiju Yuki, while making complete sense within the context of what's happening, and raising the stakes just by existing. It helps the final battle of the novel end on a bang, and I love it for that. In the words of Narajin and Yuki, "Time to party."
