A quicky based on a conversation Tom and I had a year ago.
Galactus is a problem. In comics he's fantasic, a giant purple techno-demi-god that stands around vaguely menacing planets. When it comes to translating him into movie form, or even movie-caliber comic form (Ultimate: Galactus) he's been turned into a space-dust-storm and swarm of giant metal bugs respectively.
Tom suggested I read up on his backstory, and it turns out that Galactus is the only living creature to have lived before our universe and survive the big bang.
We may have been a little hopped up on Hellboy, but we started thinking it would be great if Galactus looked alien, ancient, and gargantuan. He could be loosely human shaped, enough that legends of him could have mistaken him for a massive man.

Sweet! He sort of reminds me of the magnapinna squid, in terms of how he is vaguely menacing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPRPnQ-dUSo
Coool! Yeah hellboyish. I love the concept of tough mofos that float around in space.
This is so great.
Very interesting redesign. Love your take.
Dude--awesome. Yeah, with any ounce of thought, Galactus cwould be a fantastic movie villain!
That gave me the creeps.
Great studies you've been doing and that is one awesome Galactus. I like how you maintained some of the original design. I think that's important so there isn't a complete disconnect. What you brought to it, that little bit of Hellboy ancient god thing really sells it and makes it believable at the same time. Nice man.
Love it!!! Very nice textures! Can't say I can sleep at night right now, though!
I absolutely love all of your stuff. Your original stuff is great but I especially like your re imaginings of other characters (like the Mass effect stuff) I hope you get big and get a comic series or cartoon. You have an amazing way with lighting and a certain magic to your designs. I would definitely be interested in hearing from you later on. Best wishes, Mr. Rhodes. You are a very, very talented artist.
