Osore was created as part of this month's BIG Gimmick, a reoccurring character design challenge. Illustrators are free to create their character however they like. The only rule is it had to be based off the chosen theme for the month and turned in by the fifteenth of that month. 

The BIG Gimmick theme for May was Kaiju. I worked the image up of my Kaiju, Osore, from start to finish in Adobe Photoshop on my Wacom Cintiq. The Osore is a Quadruped kaiju with a stalk-like appendage that ends in a gaping maw of razor-like teeth. Osore takes its name from the Japanese Mount Osore — "Dread Mountain" — the gateway to Hell. Mount Osore is a temple and miniature wasteland in the middle of the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori, Japan.
