Before the days of Photoshop (or at least in the days before I heard of such a program), I did tons of small bitmap-based pictures. True, I've posted such before on my DeviantArt gallery, but those were of decent sizes and interest. For all that miscellaneous crud however, I present the Fun With Bitmap series, which not only features these various pictures in collages, but also updated slightly for your viewing pleasure. And what better way to start this off then with some much demanded giant monster fan art!

At the top is good old Gamera, the giant flying turtle who is not as famous as Godzilla, but is an interesting beastie non-the-less. The picture here started as a scanned pencil sketch, but was covered over in bitmap, and is based on the giant turtle's flying form from 1996's "Gamera 2: Advent of Legion".

Merudameruda is a gorgon-theme monster from the 1998-to-1999 Super Sentai series "Gingama", and was later renamed Maronda in the American version "Power Rangers Lost Galaxy". Despite the lovely interpretation I did, the original suit itself was pretty ugly and bulky, which clearly had a dude playing the female monster within. Thank goodness for re-designs!

*********

And finally, the one and only Zetton, the monster famous for defeating the original Ultraman in that 1966 series's final episode. Zetton has since popped up in multiple Ultra-sequels, most recently as a physical mental projection created by the Cerberus-like monster Galberos in 2009's "Ultra Galaxy NEO".
