Minilla and Gabara - two kaiju that made their debut in the Showa era of Godzilla films (1960's). Minilla is an infant Godzilla kaiju born on Sollgel island. He is very timid by nature and was bullied by the larger monster, Gabara. Gabara is an ogre type of monster who has the ability to produce electricity from it's hands.

Alright...as characters, they are not my favorite, but they are still two of the most well known kaiju from the time period.

Jet Jaguar - a heroic robot made by Japanese inventor, Goro Ibuki. It made its first debut in the 1973 Toho film, "Godzilla vs. Megalon". It was able to grow and change its size in order to assist Godzilla in the battle with Megalon and Gigan.

The most iconic thing that I remember about this character was the cheesy theme song that went along with it...The 70's were an interesting time in kaiju film making.

Are you going to make more monster hunter rise art?

Hello! I have created all of them actually. I haven’t been very good at posting them here…mainly because people have been stealing my work.

I may start posting the rise monsters sometime in the future. I’m also on instagram if you would like to check them out there.
