Here's the place to inquire about pages whose images aren't potholed to anything.

Google Image Search and Tineye are good resources.

Images Without a Source lists the pages that have been discussed in this thread but haven't been sourced yet. Once a source is found for an image, please add it to the appropriate Image Source pagenote  and remove it from Images Without a Source.

About Images and Copyright covers our general policies about image use; see here for more details and Image Pickin' forum policies. It's always a good idea to link images to their original versions and (when available) providing a link to the artist's site when they are located, especially if we're given permission to use an image.note

Surely it's a crop of somethig larger. Can GIS search for "image containing X"?

[up]I don't think so. Tineye might.

Reclining Reigner. Also, what is that S over the image.

[up]fixed the watermark.

Took it from this site but it looks like it's a stock image from shutterstock.com.

Glancing over Shutterstock's usage policy, I don't see any conflicts with how it's being used on the page...the question now becomes, can we do better, or do we care enough to start a thread for it?

See the page source. It's an IP choice, and it isn't potholed because it comes from Libido in the Beaker, a hentai manga.

Hint: even if a picture isn't potholed, check out the related links; this one is repertoried on one of the ImageSource/ page.

Any idea about Adipose Rex?

[up] A lot of the GIS links are going to The Cabin in the Woods, so that's probably a safe bet.

[up]I am afraid that it's only because it's a cabin in a wood.

I think it's a factor and the image is a good one. Far as I can tell, 'tis from Metro 2033, by the way; potholed.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Yes it's from Metro 2033. First image in this gallery.

Oops, copy-paste-fail. Fixed the link.

GIS does. If it was a crop, it probably would've found it.

However, it is probably a unique made on the spot screenshot from something, so search engines are generally helpless.

  • The comic creating the page picture is the now defunct Warhammer Fantasy / 40k webcomic Lost In Space. The strip in question can be seen here.

Freefall, the comic I always think "hrmm, I should probably read this" but never do. (And considering the size of the archive...)

I potholed it.

[up] Most of the outside links in GIS were just reposting our pic and link...I wonder if we should do a thread for it, or just remove the pothole.
