GAAAAH!!!!

As promised[and a little late], here's the intro for my Gamera vs. Zigra fancomic: Rapid Ascent! This sequence was done primarily as a style test, but it can be considered canon in this continuity. Apologies in advance for the image layout/formatting in the post, I know it's not the easiest to read. I'm still deciding where to upload the whole comic once it's done. I'll probably make it a downloadable PDF as well. eventually

thanks for reading! i hope this sets the stage a bit better for the main comic.

a few extra notes about this sequence below:

So, the first slight difference between the og film and Rapid Ascent is Chikako Sugawara's occupation. She's a geologist on the moon in the original, in here she's still a geologist, but is working on a submarine instead. Unfortunately for her, the result is the same when it comes to the alien invader. This sequence takes place roughly a year before the main comic.

I'm still not 100% certain how much screentone im going to use, might have to go on a page-by-page basis. The interior of the submarine was quite detailed and im hoping that the rest of the backgrounds im going to have to draw wont take as long lol.

Also, just in case it needs to be said: This comic is in no way meant to be "better version" of the original film. I'm not making this to try to pitch myself as a better story teller than the crew at Daiei at the time. I just wanted to make a tribute to a film i really liked. ANYWAYS, I do hope it's comprehensible and enjoyable!! I'll probably be posting the covers soon.

HIIIIM

ITS HIM GOD

an old face not yet forgotten!

haven't draw my Gigan design for a long while, i guess this is a belated [partial] ref sheet for him. i still love the horrible cyborg space chicken, fear not!

[kingyo7273]

unfathomably stupid comic starring the Virian Boss, featuring an alien shark that isn't as cool as he thinks he is.

my lukewarm Gamera take is that Viras and Zigra would be a great[or at least amusingly incompetent] villain duo and maybe even better primary antagonists than the Gyaos. [no disrespect to my fav triangle bat ofc]

[kingyo7273]

very silly late night a.w.e. comic, featuring lil Toto and life lessons!

based on a back and forth in the comments with @welcome-to-hotel-california [let me know if you want your @ removed!] because I found it too funny not to draw. and i am always looking for excuses to doodle the awe designs[mostly bc they are so much easier to draw].

[kingyo7273]

tis the season. good luck out there, gamer[a]s.

original and an even dumber/more 'faithful' to the original below. bc silly.

allllmost used the showa designs, but figured its my goofy blog and nobody can stop me so i used my own. long live season's greason's <3

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Imagine if Gamera's other weakness besides being cold were straws

bad joke, but I think it would be funny because I don't know, Zigra would throw a bunch of straws at Gamera and:

1. He doesn't even flinch

2. He dramatically faints/dies

it took me an embarrassing moment to realize the joke here, but when i did i entered an elevated state of being and begun the creation. thank you for this goofy idea and my apologies, i went a little off script. hope its still okay !

bonus "actual" comic: [in my heart showa era Gamera is a fed up theatre kid who's so done with everyone else's nonsense]

[btw: X1 is Chikako Sugawara A.K.A Lora Lee, she's the astronaut thats 'working' for Zigra in the movie]

Day 1, with everything that's going on. I wanna try to draw Megalon daily, whether that's the original Meg, one of my Megs, or even other peep's Megs *with permission. Hopefully, it will bring just a little bit of joy to someone.

Right now, we just gotta stick together and support each other 😤
