Churra, the giant rodent daikaiju (giant monster), battles Katmotron, the giant cat robot, in a decisive battle for the fate of the city!
This is a commissioned piece for one of Furcadia's versus contests, "Giant Monsters Vs. Giant Robots".
Katmotron's design was influenced by Mobile Suit Gundam and its successors. Churra's design (properly Chuura – which sort of translates as "Squeak-zilla") includes the head of a mouse, the quills of a porcupine, the feet of a rat (that's her index finger gripping the car; her thumb is a nub a little higher up on the paw), and the nose plates of an armadillo (which is not a rodent). Churra's teeth and wolverine body form were inspired by the janiset, a type of predator rat from Dougal Dixon's book After Man: A Zoology of the Future.

Thank you for the comment.
According to Gar, the member of DEP who commissioned me, I managed to raise the bar on versus contest pictures. Of course, the bar was already pretty high, so that's saying something. :P
By the way, I can't all the credit for the all of the ideas in the picture (just most of them :P). Katmotron being a cat and the two playing checkers were some of the ideas he threw out. Naturally, I knew I had to make Churra a rodent.
After all, they're playing a cat-and-mouse game.
I love it. The angle and the scale are impeccably portrayed, and I love the details in the crushed cars and such. Very amusing picture, too. Nicely done.
