Wow thats sick.

So he's an obsessed wrestling fan that spends a fair bit of money on that stuff. Of course we all know wrestling is about sensationalism...

Not that sensationalism could possibly have any implications here, eh?

[Slusho Addict]

I can't really see the connection, and I hate wrestling.

[Headman]

Im not buying it. Looks like more fan art to me.

reasons why its not the cloverfield monster

one. nether the arms or legs match up to the trailer/clip. look at the image i made below. if it was the arms then there attached the wrong way. the joint don't match up to the trailer. in the trailer (if it arms) then the joints would be reversed. if its legs then again the joints don't match up. the legs in the trailer look the same shape/joint arrangement as godzilla (am not saying its godzilla. just using the joints in godzilla legs as an example. the 1998 version btw) i drew in blue what the legs look like there goign to be. the legs in the trailer also don't have the overlapping armour present in the picture posted

the smooth surface i have highlighte din the pictures don't match up ether. in the picture there roughly the same hight as the legs. but yet in the trailer the smooth area is much higher. more towards its head.



the image reminds me of this monster form the godzilla tv cartoon

That leg you marked isn't a leg, you see the whole thing go past in the widget clip, there's not much below the 'knee' except maybe a few claws.

I think we see two right arms, the small one in the first few frames, the big one pointing down at the end of the clip.

Here's a sloppy sketch of what it might look like in streetlight

holy crap. how long did it take you to do that?

PROPS.

IMO this is definitely the work of an amateur...anything that was officially commissioned by the creators of the film would have a more polished look to it...like someone said before probably the work of an aspiring designer...not bad tho

Yeah, why put an image of "the monster" when they're not going to market the monster?

Just wondering slusho addict,

you a graphics designer or work in a similar field? because it seems like you got some professional training.

Hmmn. If it's real, then it's either a conscious fake by JJ to throw everyone off, or a HIGHLY stylized version of the actual monster. It's pretty obvious it's been toned down to look like a guy in a suit, but I have a feeling that they went a bit further then that. Like simplifying the arms, getting a few details like the armor wrong, straightening the legs instead of depicting them as bended....That's my 2 cents, at least.
