Since the original 1932 King Kong novel is public domain... how about Ann Darrow as a Rider-class Servant? Her Noble Phantasm, The Eighth Wonder of the World, lets her summon the king himself... but he easily gets enraged if separated from her, fighting friend and foe. #fategrandorder #fgo

Ann Darrow from King Kong, as a Fate Servant in a style similar to Takashi Takeuchi. She takes after the original novel's depiction, where she's a white blond woman with blue eyes and a white gown, which she wears toward the end of the book. In the background is the landscape of Skull Mountain Island, with grass, mountains, a sky at sunrise, and a pterosaur flying in the sky.

Same render of Ann, without the background.

A sketch of how Kong would appear as part of Ann's Noble Phantasm. He has longer arms, an overall slightly slimmer frame, a small head, and spiky fur, plus feet that look like hands, in order to resemble an actual gorilla.

An abbreviation of "Voice Operating Demonstrator," the Voder was made in the 1930s by Homer Dudley. Although the quality of its voice was primitive by today's standards, the idea of a "talking machine" would lead to devices like the IBM 704 that sang Daisy Bell, and software like TTS and Vocaloid.

An old black-and-white photograph of the Voder, an early speech synthesizer, being used by a female operator.

Fate Fanservant: Servant of Caster - Voder The first singing machine, a piano-like device with keys that could create speech when pressed in a specific order. His Noble Phantasm, The Intense Voice of the Voder, lets him change the pitch and volume of his voice at will. #fategrandorder #fgo

The Voder, an FGO fan Servant in the style of KEI's Crypton Vocaloid artwork. He is a brown-haired, fair-skinned man with 1930s-styled headphones, a light brown vest and a dark brown undershirt with white sleeves, and black pants and shoes. He is holding a microphone, and an arm cuff on his right arm has switches and knobs on it. The background resembles the 1939 New York World's Fair, where he was shown off.

Same as prior, but without the background.

Spearback is not only based on Nue from Touhou, but her yokai inspiration as well, also called a Nue. It's a sort of Japanese chimera with the head of a monkey, a tiger's body, and a snake for a tail. Spearback's double-pronged tail is meant to evoke a snake. (2/8)

The Nue, a yokai from Japanese mythology, a monster with the head of a monkey, body of a tiger, and a snake for a tail.

Sketches of a monster inspired by Creepers from Minecraft and exploding whales Zombie globsters that, when provoked, swell up with putrefied gases from decomposition and explode, firing chunks of blubber in every direction with the force of shrapnel #creaturedesign #art

Gen 3 Kalosian variants, part 3 Kalosian Poochyena, Mightyena and Gevayena are based on The Beast of Gevaudan, a hyena-like creature that killed many a person in 1760s France. If we can have a variant based on Kesagake the killer bear, why not one based on the Beast? #fakemon #pokemon #art

Kalosian variants of two Pokémon, Poochyena and Mightyena, along with an original third evolution, Gevayena. Kalosian Poochyena has brown, spotted fur and tan skin with a curl of white on its tail and blank white eyes, Kalosian Mightyena has a whiter, curlier tail, darker fur and skin, and black spots on its legs, and Gevayena's tail looks wispy like the tail of a ghost, connecting to a white streak that extends throughout its shaggy dark-brown fur towards a white highlight of hair on its head.

Seems you folks really liked Kalosian Torkoal and Taraskoal, so here's another Kalosian Gen 3 mon variant and its evo! Kalosian Luvdisc and Monogamour, inspired by the French tradition of April Fish and the French Angelfish, who mate for life and always stay near each other. #fakemon #pokemon #art

Kalosian Luvdisc, who has a purple edge around its body, white fins, and a white, streaming, paper-like tail, and its evolution Monogamour, two red fish with purple edges and pink fins who resemble two halves of a heart.

Project Voltage but Miku invited her friends, Part 1 Gumi as a D-Team member with an Eoraptor. Why Dinosaur King? Well, Gumi's had a couple dinosaur-related songs, and as for Eoraptor, it's a "copycat" that turns into an "echo" of other dinosaurs. #gumi #vocaloid #projectvoltage #dinosaurking

The Vocaloid GUMI as a member of the D-Team from Dinosaur King, wearing an outfit similar to Zoe Drake's. She is holding a Dino Holder and a Secret element card, and is accompanied by a chibi Eoraptor.

The Monster, Gorgo #8 This shapeshifting beast got a whole issue to itself, never actually meeting Gorgo. It fed on fear, turning into many forms to terrify humans, from dinosaurs to Nessie and even Quetzalcoatl - but when it reawoke, it starved when people found it funny, not scary. (18/20)

A brown, dinosaur-like monster from the comic Gorgo #8.

Monster of the Mist, Web of Evil #4 A sea monster that acquired a taste for blood after being fed sheep in an attempt to placate it. With much struggle, the monster was eventually killed, but it left an egg, and to everyone's horror, the hatchling turned out to be equally bloodthirsty. (17/20)

Monster of Madness, Fight Comics #12 This one's basically just a big human. A boy was kidnapped by a mad scientist, who gave him a serum that caused him to become a giant menace. The premise reminds me somewhat of Frankenstein vs. Baragon, except that this guy is more of a tragic villain. (16/20)

The front cover of Fight Comics #12, depicting a colossal green man crushing planes in his hands.

A panel from the actual comic, showing that the titan is basically a normal-looking man except for being a giant.

Beast from the Deep, Tales of Horror #7 No, The Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury (the inspiration for Beast from 20,000 Fathoms) is not PD, but this comic, an unofficial adaptation, is. The comic's take on the monster is basically a theropod with webbed fingers/toes and a devil-like pointy tail. (14/20)

Three people in a rowboat are besieged by The Beast from the Deep, resembling a green theropod dinosaur with webbed fingers/toes and a pointed tail like a devil.

Venusian Terrors and Space Scourgers, Gorgo #10 and #18 respectively These two share the same spot because they have a fundamentally similar purpose: They're alien invaders who want to take over the world, and can grow giant-sized - somewhat like Viras, except they don't need to fuse. (13/20)

A comic cover where Gorgo fights a Venusian Terror, a one-horned, cycloptic, reddish-haired alien.

Dragons of Uuang-Ni, Konga #23 The cover makes it seems like there's only one of these creatures, but there's actually two, who live in a volcano a la Rodan. These two creatures terrorized an island, forcing the natives to evacuate, until Konga showed up to challenge them. (12/20)
