Description
After the death of my dear friend Arthur J Crudworthy I was going through his papers when I saw a brightly coloured crumpled and folded piece. When I unfolded it I found it was a film poster from Japan.
I know that old Arthur was a prolific science fiction author, but I had never heard him say that he liked to watch films... and Japanese ones to boot.
I took the poster to a friend who collected such items and asked his opinion... it was a poster for a film that was never completed. the story goes like this:
in the late 1960s Toho of Japan were trying to find a successor to Godzilla, as they felt he was getting a little long in the tooth. The great director Ishiro Honda came up with the idea of a space monster called Gorado...
Okay, it's all absolute rubbish, but I was feeling nostalgic for the monsters of my youth and so here is my attempt to recreate that style of poster.
The monster is by *mightylady*, and it works pretty well. I exported it from D|S and into Bryce. Much tinkering with textures and set-ups later the render was poppped into PhotoShop or extra work.
That finished image was then used as a texture on a plane back in Bryce where a bump map was used to create the wrinkles.
That render was taken back to PhotoShop for final touches and here it is... a lot of work for something so silly.
I hope you like it.
Thanks for looking.
Iain
(PS - apologies to Toho for using their logo... don't sue me ^_^)

Pretty interesting looking picture. Nice work on this '60s movie poster.
Nice nod to 60's Japanese monster movies! Great Job!
I was buying this up to 'absolute rubbish' :) This is a great representation of the type of art.Sorry to here about A.J.
fantastic work!!
Looks cool. I think Toho's first mistake was thinking they could find a successor to Godzilla, and in the same genre to boot.
So was I...... I have seen WAY too many Godzilla films! lol This is cool... Rob
Great style - I wonder what the wrioting really says!
Under the title it says: from the makers of Godzilla... a movie so fightening it will terrify you! The bottom left are the credits - including my girlfriend's name (as a joke)
Very good work and picture. 5++
