[SPEC]The Tidowave Banner

I've been studying the banner very closely due to the repeating theme of hidden pictures. Finally I found something that is interesting and at least worth mentioning.

The banner has changed just slightly. Yes. If you look around the center there is a small white space that looks very similar to a standard cursor on your computer screen...almost like it's saying "hey dummies, look here." If you're on a laptop, turn your screen upside down. I am making out the shape of what could be the rough outline of our monster with the head, high arching back and tail. Even outlines of eyes and mouth.

The "cursor" is pointing to where say an ear would be on a normal animal. The neck then extends down from there into the body that appears wide and high arching. If it's true that we see part of the head looking down the street in the trailer clip than this would be a pretty darn accurate depiction but without detailed features.

Now, I don't think the monster will look just like this by any means but the outline may be a tip.

Just started making an analysis of the header, not much more than we already know included here. Mirror image maybe a homage to monster mirrored in poster theory.

No need to turn your computer upside down. Very Happy

I can see what you mean but I think it's just the mind playing tricks... as in smoke monster.

BTW, The banner hasn't changed. I have a copy of the site from when it went live, and the graphic is exactly the same.

You might want to add that there is a second oil drilling station next to the O in TIDO.

I've looked it over several times, and it's not exact, but I do see a very similar resemblance to the supposed face in the mirrored movie poster. To me, it looks like the same face, just stretched/compressed differently.

Great, now we are going back into the over analysis of pictures, trying to see monster faces and alike.

What I see about the picture -

a) it has Ganu with horns (different from the hack).

b) it has the dumbo octopus. Why only this one?

c) a wave is washing over one of the drilling stations.

I think there are layers in this pic . . . I see things which seem to be faint.

Can someone put it through Photoshop??

when an image is flatten its impossible to unflatten its layers. However you can try to tweak the image to see stuff but i cant guarantee the results of course....

I've played around with the levels, and the bright/contrast a little bit and did not find anything. Doesn't mean there isn't something there, just that I found nothing. If there is some meaning in the header, I believe it is already visible.

I for one think the header is just a header.

Ok, ok I was on my laptop and I just flipped it to take a peek. I know it's not necessary to turn it over. Dang, people!

Anyways, the more I look at this the more I think there is something to it. Of course, like most things we are finding I don't know what the point of this image would be other than to f with our minds some more!

Does that empty little white space look like a mini-cursor without it's base to you? Is this merely accidental or is it telling us to focus on that area?

I think the outline of this "monster" is clear. Giving it another look this morning confirmed it for me.

Watch the enhanced image on the trailer where the monster appears to be backing up a bit and looking down the street. (can someone post this) There is definitely a striking resemblance there...minus any detailed features

Oh, I get it! That must be the heart you drew on there. It's heart is actually one of the characters from the slusho site. Now, it's all beginning to come together! Razz

Who's that reply aimed at? I didn't draw a heart.
