Godzilla 2014 had the same effect. TBH a lot of Western giant monster movie trailers and posters have that design in it somewhere, where the monster is hidden just enough by for, water, mountains, or buildings to show "this thing is fking huge" while not showing off the (full) monster design.
You guys are good. I totally used the Chinatown shot from Godzilla 2014 as ref when building out the edit.
