Image 11 of 16 or Image 16 of 16 is the monster.

Yeah, he's the art director. not sure if he's actually designed the Cloverfield monster all by himself but a lot of his art sure looks cool, especially the monster ones. possible they are concept art for MGP that never was used. probably so secret that he's not allowed to put some on his site yet.

I don't think they'd post a picture of GP anywhere even if they didn't say that it was, I'm sure whatever they were made to sign would forbid them doing so.

Based on his past work I think GP will definitely live up to our expectations (if not higher). In fact, lots of those concepts I wouldn't mind as GP, especially pic 010 in 2D/Character in the flash site (pic 11 in the non-flash site).

When I saw pic 16, I thought that was it. It fits. I also don't think he'd have an image of the actual monster on his site yet, but he could have a concept or two on there.

I like number 8 and 24 on the flash site, in the 2D/Character category. Those look like BAMFs. Number 6 and 13 from the design maquettes look like BAMFs too. I can tell if he is designing it that its going to be one hell of a monster.

Some of those concepts have some serious Giger influences in them.

I highly doubt he's going to put up a concept of MGP, or anything close to it.

JJ would kill him.

I doubt he would have an actual pic of the monster up right now, but concept artists usually use the same style in their designs. When told by Tippett and JJ that they wanted a big-ass monster to trash NY, he could take some of his previous designs and combine one or two (or three) of them, or maybe tweek one of his favorites that he's allways wanted to get on screen.

Never said that one of these WAS the monster, just that some of them could be a "relative" of MGP.

If you look at Ralph McQuarrie's concept work they are of a similar style: Battlestar, Star Wars, ET.. all the same style. Conceptual artists draw what they know. McQuarrie's strength is spaceships/futuristic stuff. It appears Konig's thing is big, ugly monsters.
