I was hoping on reviewing it, especially with the hopes that since so many of the entries from the Giant Monster contest were submitted that mine, BonePipe, would be as well. There are some great beasts in there, unfortunately mine wasn't among them. Better luck next time I suppose.

locations on its body. Love it :D .

Wow man, thanks. It's because we were competing against each other. It was awesome motivation seeing who was participating in our little informal contest. Especially when Chuck accepted our challenge. :eek: So the bouncer didn't make it, huh? That one was one of my favorites.

Actually I knew I had to bring my A game when you guys mentioned the contest of Kaiju and I was impressed & humbeld to be invited! Actually the image for the Bouncer is in there, but they didn't have the completed stats according to the article. Bone-pile was also MIA. Hopefully we can see these soon.

I am humbeld and I thank you for your kind words! Indeed Quiserraica is sort of like a demonese Dragon DaiKaiju. The mutliple heads you see in the image are actually creatures that Quiserraica has previously preyed upon and defeated and is now releasing them under his control to fight the incoming trouble. They will be fully deployed to intercept the Mecha Majin (35' feet tall BTW) & (2) psionic Starfighters.

Coming out of the left shoulder is a Juggernaut-Brawler demon (52'ft of em), and (3) different serpentine adult dragons, all under Quiserraica's control. Also in the green vapor blast mist you can see a wraith that has also formed from the breath weapon splash effect. It is ready to enage the mecha if the pilot is not careful :D .

This is what it means to deal with daiKaiju! :x :x
I think ppl thought that Kaiju of today would be the big stumbling blocs of old, but we are gamers as well and we knew what the modern mythos would call for.

Ex: Quiserraica was designed in the image of a predatory species, so while he may not be the biggest kaiju monsters he is one of the deadliest. Would you rather be a jaguar at 220lbs or the larger tapir or adult horse that the jaguar predates that outweighs the jag by several hundred pounds? see my point.
