More apparent fan art of the Cloverfield monster. No indication whatsoever that this rendering represents the real deal, or if it's just another doodle. But I'm excited by the enormous scale of it, and I like the multiple aquatic flippers.

To go by the Statue of Liberty scale, this guy is almost too big to seriously buy into, given the molleuclar-mass issues and all.

This fan art made the rounds last fall. God, it's stupid-looking.

That creature would have a difficult time taking the head and only the head of the Statue of Liberty.

i actually really like the look of this guy - the hump endows him with almost human qualities (i could do without the legs, though). i'd disagree with carla more vehemently, but her blog features both radiohead (required for any blog to be considered even half-decent, jeff) AND amazing hoodies! well done, mam.

The fan art is ridiculous.

Happily, a friend of mine was able to smuggle a camera onto the set and took a photo of the monster:

I hope this clears things up.

not to derail the thread with posts in the vein of george prager's... but the closer the monster's design hews to this... the more terrified i'll be.

I am hoping for an angry land-whale, I also do hope they deal with the physics of it and have it stumbling around having trouble walking and breathing. Actually I hope it's just a huge drunk whale.

They don't actually spoil what it looks like or what it is, but they sure do give details.

Spoilers

Does anyone know if Cloverfield is going to open in the Dome at the Arclight? They still haven't confirmed it on their site...

Like a chubby drunk college girl in a Fatburger.
