Nozuki Head Studies - Godzilla vs KONG concept art

Original head study for the Nozuki / War bat for #godzillavskong . Nicknamed this one Baraka personally while working on it - I ended up doing quite a bit of work on this character while working at Aaron Sims Creative around 4 years ago and it’s several entirely different versions of this design - as you can see the “wings” are folded back to form a more sleek snake like appearance , this was one of the design qualities I pushed quite a bit , that is highly present in other images I hopefully will be able to post sometime soon. I loved the idea of these needle like teeth with a hint of skeletal forms in the mouth - and even pushed a more alien / insect kind of design in other variations giving it multiple eyes etc . A lot of the design of this character ended up being more motion studies than anything and hopefully soon I can share them with you . Ultimately they beefed up the split jaw / tusk aspect of the design all for the better and adapted the skin color and a few other elements from previous versions - Huge shoutout to everyone involved in this and @adamwingard for the opportunity to work on this film in the conceptual phase. This was a dream come true getting to work on this film ! Forward down forward high punch my dude , you did not make it . #warbat #nozuki #zbrush #keyshot #nowstreaming #nowplaying
