Enshohma Escapes to Live Again

Astratta Galassia is a giant mercenary from unknown regions of the galaxy who can best be described, simply, as a complete weirdo — a confusing combination of brightly-colored mechanical weapons and biological metals, bleeping and blinking a strange language that even the most brilliant of interplanetary linguists cannot translate, let alone contemplate at a most basic level.

Astratta Galassia's role as a mercenary is also conjecture at best, based on how often 'she' appears from out of nowhere and just teams up with other jumbo-sized villains for no apparent reason or reward beyond just starting chaos for the sake of it.

Upon achieving victory, the hovering monstrosity will simply teleport away, float straight into the skies above like a poorly animated cartoon sight gag, or suddenly turn on her fellow villain, eventually defeating her partner in combat only to, again, disappear or fly away right after.

Even Astratta Galassia's gender and name are likely misnomers, given to her by the people of Milan, Italy, upon her first appearance back in the summer of 1960, as her name translates into 'Abstract Galaxy' in English.

Among the metallic creature's arsenal includes a jamming single from her antenna, a temporary freeze ray from her supposed 'nose stock', gravity-disruptors from the green-glowing cubes located on her 'chest', a comically weak heat beam from the strange eye-shaped attachment on top of her upper thimble-like body, and, last but no least, just ramming into people, creatures, and buildings with the fumbling subtlety of a malfunctioning wreaking ball.

COMMENTARY: This character was inspired by some of the weirder alien and creature designs of 1960s science fiction, namely ones who feel (and look) like surreal sculptures strung up on strings and waved around the film set.

Bullton from Ultraman: Passport to Infinity (1966), The Polarites from Missoin Mars (1968), the beastly hologram from The Terrornauts (1967), various robots from Doctor Who, and the more comedic (stupid) alien designs from The Twilight Zone as prime examples.

From the Discover Magazine television series, The Last Neanderthal discusses... Neanderthals! Sorry, I really have nothing else for this upload, but it's a nearly lost documentary and, IF IT ISN'T, it sure feels that way when trying to find anything about this special through the Hellish wasteland known as Google Search. ENJOY!

In modern urban mythology, in-and-out of cryptozoology, there's the tale of The Carnivorous Pink Cloud, a Floridian supernatural horror that, as its name implies, is a giant pink cloud that stalks unsuspecting prey to devour / absorb like a gigantic floating mega-amoeba.
Supposedly, this creature has been around since 1605 and, according to Spanish explorer Alvaro Mexia, it was once a corrupt Indian leader named Chief Tomkie whose blasphemous actions in life led to his deceased spirit becoming this ravenous monster which kind of sounds like half-baked-yet-biased nonsense, to state it lightly.
I personally prefer the theory that it's an abnormally hostile atmospheric beast simply because giant atmospheric beasts are way cooler, and I've been knee-deep in 'scary native' hearsay since 1985, so bite me.
OF COURSE, like a lot of folklore and urban myth, it's probably all hoopla but entertaining hoopla, worthy of me wanting to illustrate these modern mythological monsters even if they're among my least popular works, with me often getting details wrong and putting my own spin on them in turn.
Case in point: me completely forgetting and utterly bypassing the Pink Cloud's Floridian origins and having my version of the puffy air-beast hunt and devour defenseless cattle in a considerably non-Floridian desert. Nevada? Texas? The East Wing?
To reinstate my previous stance: despite my skepticism towards these mysterious creatures of the unknown, they're nonetheless a deeply fascinating and entertaining source for giant monster lore.
I would honestly love to read your favorites in this field, especially the Kong-sized ones for future illustration suggestions.

Remember when The Learning Channel was education, classy, slow but no-lee-awesome? Long before that brain-damaging freak accident called Reality Television wreaked it forever since? No? Well, too bad, because we're honoring the older version of TLC with an episode from the series GREAT BOOKS, narrated by the late great Donald Sutherland. This particular episode features Jonathan Swift's satirical fantasy tale GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (1726): https://youtu.be/ZLhPqeJVYoA [End]

Sketches for an upcoming commission based on KING GORION, an obscure Toho monster planned for an abandoned movie that was later repurposed into an illustrated short story.

Opaidi is an extremely b***y and beautiful goblin girl in her late twenties who has become a popular starlet in the erotic film industry after being transported from her birth dimension, an alternate fantasy version of Earth, several years ago.
Despite her stunning looks, Opaidi has past injuries from her former life such as a damaged left eye and a right ear with a hearing aid. Fortunately, her life in our world is a far better one, where she has made a strong group of supportive friends and coworkers in the business, most notably the human performers Koji Muchmojo and Sharon Love.

An aging Pteranodon is minding his own business when suddenly a curious Cloud Giantess tries to catch him like a determined child to a defenseless butterfly; let's hope it ends well for the flying reptile.

Playful illustration with a dash of cheekiness was made back in January 2023, based on a random idea that was drawn down.

Fanart for Gamoni, a major villainess from A Space Godzilla, which was an abandoned 1979 production, completely unrelated to Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994). The unused film outline was repurposed that same year for an illustrated short story in the February and April issues of the Japanese edition of Starlog Magazine. You can read a fan translation of the short story in the following links curtesy of Maser Patrol.

Sketch for Hippoletta The Gothic Lo**ta Hippo Girl, a character I had adapted ages ago from artist Solomen. I really do need to ink and color this one. Admittedly, the curtains are a bit too suggestive unless she's just posing for a photo.
