I painted my clear orange Gogamejiras last night. I had fun painting this one - the highly textured surface is really forgiving with any imperfections in my paint application... and I'm sure there are tons of those! :) I used a red/black/gold mix for the darker areas... the back of his head, his chest, hips, forearms Metallic gold alone for highlights, nose, eyeballs, fingers, toes then black to accent some of the darker areas... a small bit on his chest, the back of his head, the very edge of the forearms. I used a tiny brush for the silver teeth and a paint pen for the black pupils. Someone on skullbrain said it looked like fried chicken, hence the name of it.

He has elements of Godzilla with his overall lizard appearance, Gamera in that his feet fold up into rockets to boost him through the air, and an ugli fruit. Goga seems like a real asshole in them as he just knocks down buildings, blows shit up and covers a man in a giant loogie missile at one point.
