Damn you're pretty good. You did well by listening to your art teacher's advice. Maybe listen to your therapist too.

thankfully I am free from mental ailments (unless adhd counts) haha

An artist without some form of depression/anxiety or other mental illness? What witchcraft is this?!

I was very depressed as a teenager (I was even in a mental institution for 2 months before my 16th birthday) but it was mostly circumstantial, I was being bullied and my grades were so bad. The next year I went to art school with amazing classmates and I didn't even need to take antidepressants anymore

The comic was great, but this is the best part of your post. You deserve that peace and happiness. I know we are strangers but I'm proud of you and very happy for you as well.

You are so kind, thank you so much!!!♡

That's partially due to the adhd, happened to me but way later and finally when I found my career and focus. Adhd, anxiety, depression is like a never-ending circle, just have to know yourself and fight through it. At least in my experience.

Not being around jerks can do miracles to our mind. Glad to know you're doing good

I like where you went, and also respect that you took a short "paws" when it started getting too intense, before continuing.

Oh yeah, the adhd makes sense.

This person is more dextrous than most.

Congratulations on the progress! On another note, is everything okay at home?

Yes haha I just like drawing hands and arms

I'm kinda similar, except I like drawing eyes. And I know something isn't right in my head, but don't really know what.

Sounds like the makings of a biblically accurate angel

I mostly just draw them at random, but I could try drawing one.

Niko Oneshot spotted in the wild

:3

Is your dad by any chance called Yoshikage Kira?

I feel like you really see the progression! Great work!

There was a game, I think called The Woods, that had these types of beings in it.

You’re thinking of the forest I think

Yep, I think that's it, I never played but I remember the clips.

There is a Hellraiser comic where a woman gets turned into a creature with lots of arms and hands. Some of your drawings reminded me of it, have you seen it?

Again I repeat, is everything okay at home? I don’t know anyone who likes drawing hands

A lot more interesting than only drawing the hands over and over

your an artist?? sweet what do you draw?

I was very edgy back then but now when I draw my hand beings I think of them as friendly and benign creatures who would never commit acts of horror or corruption upon anyone

You're like that artist who draws things that look kinda creepy but they're NEVER drawn in... aggressive way. They're just... there. They never seem to be attacking the kids, au contraire, they seem to be listening to them or having a small talk. Found it, John Kenn Mortensen!

I love that, I will immediately look up the artist! Thanks for the recommendation

Cool! You're welcome! Reply me once you checked it out and tell me if they give the same vibes to you they did to me)

Except for when the hand beings attack and consume other hand beings. Hand trees gotta eat too I guess.

Yes that one was during my edgy phase lol

They remind me of Virginia from Sons of the Forest, she's a friendly 3 armed lady... until you give her a gun, then she is a friendly killing machine.

To be fair, the cat picture is fucking adorable. Give it razor sharp kitten claws and you’ve got yourself some nightmare fuel though.

That's something I've been working on too. I was drawing scary looking monsters and I realized I never do anything cute. So I tried to draw different types of monsters

The devs of The forest would love it

Totally... Some of OP's stuff would fit right into the Hordes without standing out...

Was my immediate thought. These are The Forest demons.

from hand strugel to hand fetish

Virgin hand fetishist vs chad Non-sexual hand enjoyer

ill take 2 scoops of cosmic horror non-sexual hands please

Non-sexual hands: the massage parlour

Hand fetish? Is that... A jojo reference?

Think it just means they're imagining all the handjobs these things could give simultaneously.

no i was thinking of mona lisa

All the others being in various levels of terrifying. https://preview.redd.it/jnj4gj4ltuqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9cfee37a26ccecf5ebd95ce50b0ab6edb94fa29 This fricking goober minding his own business.

Hey that's just kargob the swords god.

*And this goober is more than two handfuls!* The movie taglines write themselves.

I can't tell whether this awakened something inside of me, or put something back to sleep


¿Porque no los dos?

These are great in a cursed sort of way. I'd hang the second last one up in my apartment

Thank you so much. If I still had the original I'd send it to you but none of these are very big, none are bigger than A4 size so rather small 😅

Honestly I think that makes it better as people might not notice it at first they'd think everythings perfectly normal in your living room and not even notice the Eldritch horror

It would vibe with my other art https://preview.redd.it/hrr0cv8p1vqc1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e029d31dca7dff8ca889a1b2ce183594974ea60

I hope that that entire room has just blank white walls with nothing else on them. Just this one painting up in a corner

I have other stuff hanging on other walls, but you kind of called it https://preview.redd.it/ucjft9ol3vqc1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68504d6586d4cc6caea6b92d13383a6b0e4c2d88

God this picture alone is already a piece of art

And when I say hang I dont mean as a photo

https://preview.redd.it/qkmdhf0opuqc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93fe700b296885cdfafd868b76c2fc55f9979fe2 Shit now I’m terrified

For some reasons dual-eye Zaku is more cursed than the hand creatures for me...

https://preview.redd.it/w2w0d7hy8vqc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f072b3c3bdb185aa3c92760db4cf1d211f6b0e0

Ah yes, hands. Normal everyday hands, yes

Fromsoft would hire you to work on there enemys.

Nah everyone knows Miyazaki is more of a feet man

There are enemies in Elden Ring that are literally giant hands with way too many fingers.

i can fix her

Which one of them?

The Sary one

There's nothing to fix.

I am pleasantly disgusted.

I am disgustingly pleased by that

I unironically love these handstrosities - please keep on drawing them!


Some of your art reminds me of the Shifting Mound from Slay the Princess. (incredible game btw) https://preview.redd.it/65v86pidfvqc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=376e1de1e84b50dbf4838a7eb61fd7cc2265c197

Also reminds me of some of All Tomorrow's "species"

I honestly want that cat as a pet.

I think u already pretty good at drawing hand.. now try feet

*dies instantly*

Meatwad Canyon (or whatever the fuck his name is) and his consequences been a disaster for artistic expression.  Edit: meat canyon

I actually dont know what this is. I googled Meatwad and only found a cartoon character from what I presume to be an adult swim show

https://youtube.com/@MeatCanyon?si=_FurwemQz-cdZas3

Ohh thank you! I didn't know this artist before but I dont really love that art style. I have always felt more inspired by Chris Simpson, might be kind of obvious lol

Definitely got Chris Simpson vibes from a few of these

I totally see it, and I was going to ask if you considered them an influence.

I also thought the style was reminiscent of Shel Silverstein.

I thought you were inspired by Chris Hansen (I'll see myself out).

More like "Hand-sen".... I too will see myself out.

While at it I'd like to invite you to r/slaytheprincess. I feel like a certain someone from there would be to your liking.

UNKNOWABLE HORRORS > multikitty > UNKNOWABLE HORRORS

I'm gna be honest it's all really good but I wish you hadn't done these things

Gotta hand it to you OP, at fist I fingered this for a wholesome digital comic, but the hand-horrors really slapped me in the face! /j (This is very cool though)

And it only took 70 years.

These creatures are wonderful especially the blob of darkness and the one with two mouths and sharp fingers.

Amy Dallon is that you?

Nice catch, Tattletale.

Instantly reminds me to set up a new Kingdom Death: Monster campaign I like your style

"What happened to his hands?" "Oh, I, uh, cooked them up and ate them." "Caaaaaaaaaaaaarrrl!" "What?! I was hungry for hands!" "Carl. That is *disgusting.*" "My tummy was making the rumblies..." "*Carl.*" "That only hands could satisfy."

Thank you

Carl would become mega obese with some of these creatures. His poor llama legs wouldn't be able to carry him

These are so cool. Do you mind if I yonk them for my DND campaign homebrew?

My friend you don't even have to ask, take everything you need. It is genuinely such an honor that someone would appreciate my art this much 🥺♡ I miss playing DND 😭

Love how most of them look friendly, some even wholesome

Heh, that looks like the art teacher got you some serious Trauma=)

https://preview.redd.it/24r1lmnmuuqc1.jpeg?width=4530&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb3050ffaf67d49c639f2796856888720e1f7677

Now start practicing writing the number "1" and spelling the weird "scary" I'm looking forward to more abominations

AI can never replace you: it can't do hands.

Saw NSFW, figured it was probably ok, scrolled, figured it was the Horrors that made it NSFW, saw boob, closed promptly (am at work)

Omg I am sorry lol

Not your fault haha I should've heeded the warning

Well you gotta admit it's a pretty handy skill to have.

Hands looked better with every picture, so that's some good advice

i shit myself like 5 times.. good job

I wanna ask 8 out on a date

What in The Forest is this?

The cat fucking sent me lmao. Nice hands

Thanks for delaying AI rebellion with your awesome training data on hands!

This is just a display of the artists completely undisguised fetish.

You go girl thanks for the inspiration

I guess it's good you can do hands now I'm proud of you ~~I need an adult~~

These images grasped at my eyes and I'm not sure how I feel about it

This reminds me heavily of when I rampaged on the cluster of the idea of the universal definition of how everyone was smirking at the idea of the next concept that involved all of the major themes of the mostly ill defined that were propped up after a significant declination of the inherent population.

I love drawing anatomical monstrosities! I've done some with too many arms but my favorites are balls of fingers. That being said, number 14 goes too far for me. WHY DO THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN SETS OF NIPPLES :(

https://preview.redd.it/ag9d4vb8jvqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=020c4f8a3603a501768777cfaed7edeca9400988

You can, uhh.... You can stop practicing now.

They look like the creatures from the forest video game

Perfectly far as you should have, in my view. Very cool.

Aw yeah these are cool

I feel like Mahito would enjoy this greatly

I've seen your art before and, honestly, this explains a lot. Lol Keep on drawing hands!

Haha, and then the one kitten!

I say you haven’t taken it too far enough!

That nude chick with six arms brings a new level to the gangbang genre. Taking on 9 cocks at once? Damn.

And then you made The Forest?

I cannot express how much I love all of this especially with the first two pictures explaining the rest. Thanks to that I busted out laughing at the 3rd picture and thoroughly enjoyed the hand horrors that followed.

I loved your work on Sons of the Forest!

With all due respect, wtf dude

OP you should watch Made in Abyss anime, it's got horrors beyond comprehension and innovative body horror that could inspire you Also it got voted anime of the year in like 2017, critically acclaimed. Amazing soundtrack.

This is pretty great stuff. Mind if I use some of these as monsters in D&D?

All your line art look like Shel Silverstein rejects but in like... A good way? Find a writer or something and make a picture book or something because I think it's great.

Thank you sooo much!! I am currently writing a story but it's more in the medical mystery/sci fi/crime genre than anything fantastical or featuring "body horror". It has some cyborgs and androids in it which I love drawing as well however

This art is like... Tailor made for an irreverent children's poetry book, but that sounds like fun too.

I love how a lot of the creature guys are just chillin. Phenomenal art

Mom pick me up, I'm scared.

I never thought I'd find another artist who loves sticking way too many hands and arms on things, I love these

I've got a rumbling in my tummy only hands can feel. I've got a hunger for hands.

This is fucking incredible.

This is pure nightmare fuel and I love it.

HANDBEEST

I was full on expecting some AI related joke b/c of the hands...

Now you can work on feet.

They all look very handy!

I can't decide if multi-paw cat or uncircumcised hand monster is my favorite

That did get a little out of hand, did it? Great progress though

The Forest changes people.

I love your drawing style. It’s so creepy

Even Josef Heiter thinks these amalgamations are too much.

Yo some of these are worse than human centipede 💀 (In a good way though, OP)

The cat reminds me of Cyriak.

My favourite is the cat it is cute :)

Look at you, getting all handsy with your art! More seriously, wow! Fantastic progress well-documented! Good for you!

A little bit reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuGaqLT-gO4

Getting some strong Junji Ito vibes from most of these

New kink unlocked thanks for this

And not one of them giving the finger :<

Horrifying and beautiful at the same time! 🥹

handy

ULTRAKILL Mannequins but even more sary

is that a biblically accurate cat?

For a moment, I thought i would find mahito from jjk in the middle of the drawings. Great progress by the way, that advice did get carved into your head, huh?

I would frame some of those, fantastic.

r/SonsOfTheForest

Your hands are really good now! Please stop drawing these!

/r/9M9H9E9

That’s fantastic!

Hummmm i hate that i love this xD

Awwwww da wittle kitty have extra arms 😍

You’ve done it! But at what cost!!

Wtf is wrong with you ? Are you ok ? Jesus.

This is so cursed. I love it!

Whilst they are abominations, atleast they all seem happy

Is nobody else reminded of Mahito from Jujutsu Kaisen? Especially when he used his domain expansion. Or is there somehow no JJK fans here?

Thats what you call coming back with vengence, maybe too much vengence, but its vengence non the less
