This image is not shocking.

solve (May 31, 2007)

As the title states. Imagery like this is not shocking to me.
Personally I find that the majority of the public enjoy extreme gore, sexual deviance, and death. Just think about what we view.

Gore and death: Hostel, Saw, 300, 28 weeks later, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, CSI series, OZ, The Sopranos, etc.
Sexual Deviance: Law and order SVU, The Tudors, Just porn alone is a HUGE market and includes many themes that would blow others minds.

The news we all watch holds a cache of horror and fear.

And we LOVE IT. We want more of it. Then again, its apart of our nature as much as love, healing, and creation are. Well... don't show love making on TV because of children (Rather be parents). Remember the 80s? Some shows were essentially softcore porn.
I find that gore and extreme situations can also be utilized to make beautiful art and cinema.
Ichi The Killer, once past all the insanity, rape, and gore. Was a really good movie, and had some very intelligent ideas behind it on top of beautiful Imagery. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance as another one. VIDEODROME, SUSPIRIA, The Box, etc. All works of art.

Then you have the drawn artists like Junji Ito, Hans Bellmer, Surhiro Maruo, Kage, etc.

So these vile themes can be used past the newest shitty horror movie. I think the only people who find such shocking are those not ever exposed, or those predisposed to be shocked by modes of thinking (ex: religion, culture, etc.)

SO AFTER ALL THAT BULLSHIT I JUST WROTE, WHAT IS SHOCKING TO ME?

A world where we do not kill and hurt each other, a world where people loved each other, societies of people built on selflessness and community, a world where all are truly equal.

But this is merely long-dead-romantic-rhetoric made for people to impale themselves upon. Such a utopia is fantasy for now.

I officially disqualify myself from this contest because I could not come up with an image that expresses what I find shocking. Sorry for making you read all of that.

Basically what I got from this is: it can be good or evil but when well done and with a meaning it´s ok .

Hehe, Hannibal Rising <333

I love death/gore/horror stuff :0
I find it the most interesting~

I just like your description, that you actually expressed your thoughts...its nice every once in a while to have the mystery deepen.

JK-Arts (Jun 16, 2007)

What's with all the words. Why not draw something that would say all you just said, It probably would of won if you did.
Speak with your art.

Man FUCK THAT. Speak and exspress yourself how ever you can.
Solve i agree with you people are entirly Vague and Hypocritical when it comes to these things.

I love the Yappy character :)

xwindflyer (edited May 31, 2007)

I do too Lori. Maybe he will keep the bears away.

Klibese (May 31, 2007)

I just moved and went from one roomate's dog that barked at everything with no volume control to a relatively quiet yapper. Can't complain.

Barky & Yappy!

Axil62 (May 30, 2007)

Barky drives the truck while Yappy rides in back!
OK now, who wants to be Barky and who wants to be Yappy?
I'll go first!
I pick Barky!
Ready now? BARK! BARK!
OK now you be Yappy!

Thanks pop!

TripleE313 (May 30, 2007)

Haha, cute. Does he ever quit yapping?

Axil62 (May 30, 2007)

No, and this is a problem for Barky. Barky is generally a happy dog and his disposition is good most of the time in spite of Yappy's constant yapping. But I think even Barky has his limits. We'll see,

Klibese (edited May 30, 2007)

I don't think anyone wants to be Yappy. We all like Yappy to be something drawn in silent form so we can laugh in safety at the funny Yappy. But the moment this becomes an audible animation we're all going to drop Barky's arse and his Yappy comrade.

Anyways, since text is usually in itself mostly silent, I'll be Yappy.
YAP! YAP!

Luigi.

Sweetcell (May 29, 2007)

Idea came to me that the Mario world needs a modern revamping. So let's start with Luigi first, the youngest underused character. Maybe if he looked like this more people would pick him. Manly. :)

I think I'll do Mario next.

What good is a plumber who doesn't have buttcrack jeans.. these guys are posers

Sweetcell (May 30, 2007)

Posers that can crack some ass....

I mean kick, kick some ass.

Maiko (Jun 1, 2007)

Aw man, I always use Luigi over Mario~~ <3 awesome.
He's starting to look a little like Waluigi though, haha.

Dave's right though :0 buttcrack jeans!

Sweetcell (Jun 1, 2007)

Lol.

I gotta do Mario soon. Then maybe PP.

When viewing this I can almost feel the grass underneath my back as I'm laying down gazing upward!!

fleeting_memory (May 16, 2007)

friggin cool! I love the up-angle on this. Intriguing picture.

Klibese (May 20, 2007)

Now this is an original idea I can root for.

Kayos (Feb 4, 2008)

Well, you might try actually putting more time and effort into your pieces instaed of only 9 minutes, then maybe you wouldn't. _{Does no-one read the rules anymore?}

PolythenePam (May 20, 2007)

"ugh i suck"!!! EXACTLY!! Gaaaaah! I hate to flip out so badly, Sweetcell has a lot more self control than I do it would seem. But this picture is AWFUL, it took you only 9 minutes, AND you agree with me, it sucks! So why is it here?! Why are my eyes violated every few posts with junk like this? If it does any good at all, it really makes me appreciate the effort and talent that goes into some of the images on here.

Just try, pleeeassssee.

I'm sorry to target your picture specifically but I'm pretty riled up.

Sweetcell (May 20, 2007)

You don't want to rile The Pan, trust me. :D

In all seriousness Radden, as a newcomer it is recommended you take a little more time in your pieces, otherwise it get's to be spamming. You don't have to send if your just doodling (it's preffered if you don't) or you can try other sites that are more flexible when it comes to doodling. Please read the rules.

Maiko (May 22, 2007)

>_> Next time someone says "this sucks" etc....

picture will be deleted rightaway, kthnx.

Blah. I started it earlier tonight. I'm surprised at how much Lascaux resembles Photoshop's brush features. Just a crappy sketch of my character, Rinji, with green eyes. Big nose! =3

came out very nice, I like it

Klibese (May 12, 2007)

I'm curious as to see what else you can do, especially if you share the impulse to draw out people that exist in your mind and all.

JK-Arts (May 13, 2007)

I read green yet i see brown. I'm so confused.

Celestial-Fox (May 13, 2007)

In the first version, before I edited, she had green eyes. If you look on the "Versions" panel next to the applet and click v.1, she'll have green eyes.
