neo-ninja Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Howdy All, I was watching George Clarkes Amazing Space the other night, when I saw a picture on one of the walls in one of the properties he was looking at, that I thought would be perfect addition to someone i knows collection. See below. However i dont know who the designer / artist is or really where to start. I have tried looking up several things on google and used google search by image (be warned the poster seems to be flesh coloured so turns up some "interesting" results) all to no avail. Any help would be great! Quote
neo-ninja Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 To me it looked like a card, with the way the image and numbers are done, I also think it says tokyo and osaka, and of a godzillaesk monster who has an empty fridge in his stomach (possibly hungry) Quote
Dblock Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 TBH I wouldnt even know where to start. Good luck though Quote
Dblock Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Couldnt find anything. A weird place that I dont really understand but would probably know is 4chan? 1 Quote
elfman Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Tried but to no avail. The only thing I can think of is trying a manga forum? Quote
Ricey Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) It's actually a poster both ways up isn't in......there's a rabid bunny thing the other way round and the writing on the left becomes the right way up Edited December 28, 2012 by Ricey Quote
neo-ninja Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 ah thats a bloody good spot, to me the writing and numbers reminded me of a card. but now i have rotated the picture i can see the other monster. Quote
OsakaBen Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Edit: just asked the girlfriend (Japanese) - she says that the Japanese is wrong, so it's probably an English or American designer. Which increases your chances haha Japanese on the left reads ice beam (as stated in English) '氷ビーム' Japanese on the bottom I can't make out except for the last part which reads Unit (ユニット) There's more Japanese on it that I can't read, if you have any better images I may be able to help you more. It probably wont, but I hope this helps! Edited December 29, 2012 by OsakaBen Quote
neo-ninja Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 MMm so i have done some more digging, and it turns out they are most likely stylised pokemon the monsters, and there just so happens to be pokemon centers in Tokyo and Osaka. Ice beam is one of the pokemon moves. Quote
Cragus Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Rotom (Japanese: ãƒãƒˆãƒ Rotom) is a dual-type Electric-type Pokémon. While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and change forms. When it does not possess an appliance, it is Normal Rotom, and is Electric/Ghost When it possesses a microwave oven it becomes Heat Rotom, and is Electric/Fire When it possesses a washing machine it becomes Wash Rotom, and is Electric/Water When it possesses a refrigerator it becomes Frost Rotom, and is Electric/Ice When it possesses an electric fan it becomes Fan Rotom, and is Electric/Flying When it possesses a lawnmower it becomes Mow Rotom, and is Electric/Grass.

neo-ninja Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 thats interesting as the monsters dont really look like the rotom. i think the look more like: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rotom&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-Address&oe=&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=Hh_gULelCu-S0QXIl4CIDA&biw=1306&bih=656&sei=Ix_gUPHgCISZ0QXO0oGABQ#um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=d&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb%3AIE-Address&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=evil+gengar&oq=evil+gengar&gs_l=img.3...121887.122544.4.122628.6.5.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.vOL7Xfl1yFU&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k&fp=4721a7ab5138c8e0&bpcl=40096503&biw=1306&bih=656 Below are the pics again but i have tried to photoshop changing the perspective: i can feel im getting closer!

neo-ninja Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Is that an Ipod for the second pokemon / monster and a fridge for the first? Quote
OsakaBen Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Google.jp brings up different results to google.co.uk - maybe try there? Quote
neo-ninja Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks for the suggestion just tried it - no joy Quote
neo-ninja Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 Damn no one else has any other suggestions? Quote
Ricey Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 If google goggles has failed mate I think you've had your chips Quote
marzman Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I've asked the question on Reddit/r/pokemon and it's not looking good. If these cant answer it then no one can. http://www.reddit.co...hatwho_this_is/ Edited January 4, 2013 by marzman Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Have you asked this bloke, he was always quite good at guessing what a picture was from just seeing part of it..... Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I'd forgotten about him, thank goodness!! Say what you see, say what you see..... Quote
Dblock Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I'd forgotten about him, thank goodness!! Say what you see, say what you see..... Thhhhaaaaaaaaatttt riggggggghhhhhht. I used to love carpark catchpharse on Moyles show. Obviously the catchphrase on tv was good too. Quote
