I'm a commercial illustrator whose worked 30 yrs in the art industry. I did a cover for Issue 5 of ICOOAW and worked on 2 different kaiju stories (Frankongor & Team KS-1). Here's some samples of the art I've done and huge i'm a huge fan of giant robots & kaijus.
One of my favorite covers. Love the Kaiju artwork.
@N7Stormtrooper22 Thank you so much. I'm happy that it's been received with such love from the Alterna STRONG. I hope to get the chance to do more cover art in the future 😁
Hey Frankie! Did you see the Trailer for the Kong and Godzilla movie? Who is your favourite and why Frankogor would kick their respective mounstruos behinds? Mines logical option would be Godzilla, but the kid in me loves Kong, I love, love, love the art for the 70s movie posters. Back then one local artist decided to reproduce the image on a wall as a way to announce his business on painting for ads and such and every time my mother took me to his sister's house we came by the painting, it was the higher point of those trips for me. (It stood there from the opening day of the movie until the late 80s) To this day I still have a very ugly and very unofficial Kong doll from that time.
Hey @Simenon7 wassup! I've watched the trailer 5X already and it has very excited to see the film. The first time I saw this Legendary meet up was way back in the late 70's on Creature Double Feature (WLVI 56) and even thought King Kong vs Godzilla came out in 1962. I was super stoked at seeing two kaijus that I LOVED finally going at. I HONESTLY have no favorite character BUT instead I'm overjoyed that the film got made with the audience of today getting the chance to see what I saw so long ago. Frankongor most likely would give a good fight but in the end he would most likely respect the power of Kong and Godzilla. Take a last look at the 2 kings and swim off towards his home and the next adventure. This is really GREAT time for the fandom to see these kind of films being embraced by a larger audience. I'm just trying to figure out what my next piece of homage art is going to be LOL 😀

Hey Forum wassup. I just wanted to share one of my latest projects which has been with me for a few years. The story is that I use to do card art for a couple of big card companies (Upper Deck, Rittenhouse Archives, Breygent Marketing & 5Finity Productions to name a few.) Anyway, I garnered some fans of my work and was contacted by one who proposed that HE would make me 2 custom sketch card booklets for an art commission for him. It was a fair trade and I decided upon a Godzilla 2014 & Shogun Warriors cards. I've done the Godzilla, which is available to see here
The Shogun Warrior Card is now in the stages of getting done. Here's some early pics - Enjoy 😊
What's your favorite iteration of godzilla?
@N7Stormtrooper22 I grew up on the Showa era Godzilla and the action, storytelling is what I think inspired Doug Moench & Herb Trimpe when they worked on the Marvel Comics Godzilla series. The way the character and other supporting characters had a very kinetic feel to them. It was this strange world filled with Spacemen, Cyborg Monsters an anti-hero who always headed back out to the sea when the job was done.
As promised here's the new uploaded SHOGUN WARRIORS sketch card booklet here :
I like your unique art style it’s cool I would definitely read these
@Ryan Westbrook Thank you and fingers crossed I'm hoping to do more art for Alterna Creators this year ;)
FANTASTIC Day already as I've wrapped up the colors on my latest piece.
