Apparently, I may be in error, Lewis. Although Robert Kinoshita is generally credited to creating Tobor, and his Wikipedia page confirms this, I did a bit of further reading up on Tobor the Great, and according to production sketches, Italian art director Gabriel Scognamillo, is the person who came up with the design.
