blender by Mokato Aida

>>1911441
This gave my a really unsettled-y feeling. Eeesh.

>>1911371
speaks to the power of the work when you focus on the demon guy to such an extent that it takes a sec to notice a glowing golden women

>>1911507

You've got it backwards. The composition of the piece is what gives it its power, not the other way around. Satan is more detailed and the radiating lines of his wings and legs pull the eye to him.

>>1911509
that's what i said you dog

>>1911511

No it isn't. You attributed the focus on Satan to the power of the work. You mixed up cause and effect.

>>1911513
the power of a work is the work you idiot, the way it's designed and all

i wasn't ascribing it magical powers

>>1911528

i find balthus' pedo paintings creepy, especially this one of miro and his daughter, ew.

>>1911533
it looks more green irl, photos of paintings always seem to lose dark greens and like green chromatic blacks, is annoying.

my favorite kind of works. Dumping a mixed lot.

not really terrifying but kinda creepy

obviously

last one

i've never found gore scary

>>1911608
this however is terrifying

>>1911612
>this however is terrifying

why?

>>1911615

empty houses are creepy anyway, but the subtle curvature on the walls and door frames makes it seem as if theirs like a ghost or something.
also for me this seems to focus on the fear of something spooky emerging from behind the doors or walls, its just eerie as fuck

>>1911570

>>1911635

>>1911561
reminds me of this.

>>1911651

woaaah that's so tragic.

>>1911651

Anything I draw is pretty terrifying, terrifyingly bad.

>>1911550
My nigga. The full video is amazing

>>1911843
more cute than terrifying

>>1911741
I agree, I'd saved that painting before I'd seen it though.

>>1911608
I feeled kinda estranged by this one, but I wonder what it is, that makes it so unsettling

>>1912001

>>1912006

i panic whenever i'm presented with a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Enough so i cant even google a picture to post

its not even the subject matter, his paintings are just so busy and there's so much happening it puts me into full on panic mode and i feel really stupid for it

>>1912019
Probably because the composition is so shitty. They all look like shitty collabs

>>1912019

>>1911616
It does look like a place you'd be murdered in

>>1912035
hellmouth is always terrifying

>>1912043

>getting terrified by paintings
pussy much?

>>1912046
that's quite funny, and anyway the dog would look after you....

>>1911608
This would be good for one these fake "When you see it you will shitbrix" pics.

>>1912048
thanks for contributing, A+ post

>>1911997

I came here to scare the shit out of all of you:

>>1912035
It's not shitty it's chaotic, and done for that reason.

>>1911466

>Thread full of creepy paintings
>All kinds of crazy shit
>Fucking 3 doors is the only thing that gets me

>>1912012
nope

So much samefag on cannibalism

>>1911608
i don't understand whats so terrifying about this one, yes its unsetteling because of the composition, but apart from that, i aint even scared.

can someone put their feels into words to express why this is scary.

because as it stands for me the only horrible part about it is the designer chose a different door style for the door to the right

>>1912349
Dont know about the other anons, but to me it feels like any kind of shit is about to jump right at you from any that back door.
I had to confirm it not beeing a .gif twice.

Pretty much everything Hieronymus Bosch ever did.

>>1912406
>>1911665
thats pretty fucking lel that they put that shit in kids books. i was scared shitless out of the downer woman until high school almost

>>1911557
This one is Ivan Solyaev.

>>1912438

Yeah, now that they are niceing up all the art for kiddie consumption, think what little pussies they will grow up to be.

Grow a sack, man, childhood is not for rainbows and lollipops, it's for preparing for the real world. And when you raise little crotch-goblins who can't handle a scary picture, you get adults who live in your basement because they're too scared of the fryolator to get a job.

>>1912452
what the fuck is a fryolator?

i dont really think the removal of creepy art is whats making kids gigantic pussies. im saying just i was personally traumatized by that one pic in particular for reasons out of many that were in those series of books. i was leling at the fact that they have the potential to make a decently lasting impact and it (was at least) readily available to them

>>1912349
open doors have so many deeper meanings, it's subjective to you why that would terrify you

the distortion on top

overall composition and colours/feel of the painting


it's just a cold, dead, empty room with an overload of doors of which we as the viewer have no idea where they will take us

too many uncertainties in an atmosphere that already leaves us distorted

you just want to GTFO

>>1912493
also painting is called white doors by Vilhelm Hammershoi

as far as I am aware he painted "mundane" stuff, can't find too much explanation on this particular one so I really feel the explanation posted above could explain why it feels sinister indeed


found this:
>About these pictures the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote: ‘His doors spit insults, the floorboards remain silent. It’s almost as if painting had departed, leaving the world behind it as an interior.’

>>1912497
When I quickly look at more of his work I find his paintings quite calming actually....

>>1912336
u mean....4 doors..

>>1912484

>>1911608

>>1912520
thats not scary at all, unless you have dentist phobia maybe?

>>1912520
fear the badly painted shitty doctor!

>>1912529
he's not a dentist......

>>1912062

>>1912557

>>1912559

>>1912563

>>1912564

Most of those works aren't terrifying, just bizarre/grotesque. What makes a piece terrifying is the feeling and emoticons it passes to the viewer and now how gruesome it is.
It's like horror versus torture porn movies. One just makes you feel unsettled/disgusted, while the other gives you the creeps.

>>1912190
Smoked some kush, this stuff is giving me headaches

>>1912571
>emotions it passes to the viewer and not how gruesome it is.***

>>1911635
harry clarke is my nigga, that whole series of poe illustrations is dope as fuck

>>1912518
This reminds me of Roman Polanski's Tenant

>>1912349
>>1912001
Look at the lines, the doorframes, the doors themselves, they're distorted. That's what makes you feel uneasy.

>>1911559
Wow I know that artist in person, shes Kikyz Trece Trece, what a coinsidance

>>1912629

Cliché.

>>1912580
Fucking loved those as a kid, so good.

>>1912636
tell her I adore her art!
-random internet anon

>>1912621
that movie was so bad

>>1911997

I will never understand horror. I can't get even slightly miffed by anything in this thread, any horror movie hollywood has put out, or any fake ghost story. It doesn't scare me at all.

What is scary is thrillers. actions and consequences. Fear of the unknown doesn't really cut it.

Chris Van Allsburg

>>1912724
I like this. Something so simple yet impossible brings unease.

>>1912721

I use to be like this, Seeing works like the ones itt in person changed me a little though. I'm not really afraid but I understand the eeriness some of them can give off a little better.

>>1912736
I used to be pretty scared when i was a kid, i was very juvenile and dependant until like 15, also very unsure if god and or ghosts were real. Then i got slapped by life, since then i don't scare easy. All the old horror movies i watched now look like terrible comedies. bit sad but i'd rather not go back to being an idiot like i was.

>>1912062
black people scare me as well

>>1912778
eyes are what I'm scared of

All this guy's stuff is wonderfully thematic.

the associated creepypasta this is a fanart of is really quality, check it out.

>>1912484
it looks like something Ito would do

that nigga gets my respect

Most stuff drawn by Stephen gammell scares me senseless

>>1912046
wasn't this some sort of german dada exhibition?

>>1912470
yo anything that deals with death in space freaks me right the fuck out

>>1912583
but that actually happened

>>1912813
complete shit is what it is

When I was young I witnessed a grownup allowing himself to get fucked by a large pig.
Since then nothing I've came across ever unsettled me.

I like this series though >>1912484 As a kid that would've scared the living crap out me.

>>1913135
Correct

these images are very erotic

fear and sex must be closely entwined

>>1913333
QUADS!
and an interesting point. I'd speculate that sex is a moment of extreme vulnerability. Passion replaces rational thought, lust replaces self, and our biggest secrets are revealed when we remove our social garments. Sex exposes our under bellies and I'm certain that has some explanation as to why slasher flicks love to slay characters when they're swept up in their emotions.

the tension as we frizzle next to each other and what I'd really want to do

like The Force, luke, only sexier

>>1913336
I have this book, it goes into detail on subjects such as this

fear and sex, death, pain,... are all very obviously entwined, there is no doubt about that

book has some disturbing pics in it too

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/eretica-demetrio-paparoni/1112571072?ean=9788861300699

>>1913333
Passion.
Emotions at their height.

>>1913382
but the desire for sex and the desire for violence are very different....

though invoke each other...

"they do not fancy me, they scorn me, they fancy him, I am better than him, punch his nose in"

these two desires, to bash down big ugly bully and to be smothered inside woolly socked big coat girl escalate each other


and then, to have sex is to open yourself up in a transaction that we know is dangerous

we will be viewed differently after by the rest of the morons, our social standing shuffled

I frighten people, but am not frightening, but frighten people

>>1912349
All of the doorways are slightly warped.

>>1913394
I find it very beautiful

>>1911550
THIS FRENCH GUY IS AMAZING

>>1913392
why would you even bother saving that

>>1911516

The golden woman is poorly readable and doesn't fit in with the rest of the painting.

>>1913444
>doesn't fit
>implying you know the first thing about Blake's mystical imagery

>>1913463
>implying you know the first thing about Blake's mystical imagery

does anybody?

Man in pub says "he was deranged"

I'm inclined to agree

but also a very loving man, in a peculiar way

It must have eaten him to pieces the things he went through, but he carried on

your very soul


it's a lot to worry about

>>1913463

It doesn't fit because it's rendered very differently. Use your eyes.

>Blake's mystical imagery

u havin a laff?

>>1913504
>>1913444

She looks like that because shes "Clothed In The Sun" and to not detract from Satan's power. The focus is on him.

>>1911608

it reminds me of this

>>1913555

>>1913565

>>1912458
>kebab status
>removed

>>1913804
check the post it's in response to. the creepy factor is more in the dark, derelict, empty room than the animal.

Can someone confirm if william blake drew this?

>>1913940
Confirmed

>>1913857
cool stuff

>>1913857
hmm

>>1911527
Yes.
YES.

I am the Dragon. And you call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble. But, fear is not what you owe me. YOU OWE ME AWE.

The most funniest thing is that this is only a modified still of an old horror Italian movie.

>>1912349
>>1912336
I think it's because we're in a creepy thread, and with that mindset, seeing these dismal, empty rooms stirs the imagination. Everything else in the thread is right there in front of you--then you see these slightly-gloomy rooms, and you still expect something creepy. It denies you any knowledge of it, and the uncertainty is as terrifying as anything. The noise in the dark is almost always scarier than what makes the noise in the dark.

>>1918021
wow this is actually very terrifying

>>1918053
What, this one's comfy as fuck.
I always loved the rare occasions I could be alone in school. No noise, no people, no worries.

>>1918061

>>1912482

>Those tits

>That tongue

I'd be naked on the bed and ready for her when she came in.

He had been hanging onto the wheel strut.

>>1913541
what movie is this from?

>>1918360
nope, i found out by myslef
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
yeah i was expecting it to be from our beloved Lync

>>1918363
my 2cents btw

>>1913333
there’s an exhibition built on this idea, centered about Sade in paris right now

>>1912349
It's spooky because of the composition, yes. Everything is slightly warped and off angle which makes the viewer feel unsettled. Then you must consider that the doors aren't right. The handles aren't normal handles (one lacks one at all) and they are different. Again this asymmetry evokes that unsettling feeling in the viewer.

Once you're in that unsettled mindset you begin to wonder about the open doors. Have you ever been in a house at night on your computer with a door open to your back and felt extremely uneasy? It's a very similar feeling. The doors are open, there's no security or protection. It's creepy because it's unsettling but doesn't present an overt threat, just a situation where you'd be exposed to a hidden one.

Your ancestors were afraid of tigers lurking in the tall grass. They look at the grass and it seems normal but something makes them uneasy. They can sense the tiger waiting in the grass.

It's more or less the same thing. It taps into that same ancestral feeling of hidden dangers lurking.

>>1912473
I look at this and can't help but think he's thinking, "I'm about to fuck this telescope".

>>1911553
Is this from animal man?

>>1911371
Oh man, I thought I was the only one. I always thought that this painting (Red Dragon) was one of the most viscerally intimidating and fear/awe-inspiring I've ever seen. He's so huge, and he so utterly dominates the canvas, and his back is just covered with muscles. Speaking of which, the anatomy of his back is very unique. And yes, I didn't notice the woman until I had seen the painting several times.

Wayne Barlowe's entire 'Hell' series is rather disturbing and disgusting. Very unique take on the idea/style of Hell also.

>>1912349
Look at the shadow on the floor

>>1913716
Beserk?

>>1911528
At the current state of mind that I'm in, this one brought tears to my eyes.

>>1917966
a blind woman

>>1911608
Jeez, when I notice the faint lighter area in the "back room", right by the door frame leading right, I keep seeing the mirrored light area right at the end as a faint silhouette. And when my eyes fall there, the silhouette is right back in the far room.

That's some creepy shit. Some weird, unsettling angles.

>>1911608
I don't get what all the hubbub is all about three doors. The perspective is off.

>>1912724
This one gives me the creeps.

>>1911530

>>1920206
it reminds me of some french gal during the 17e century who killed her guests' children, then cooked them and served them to their parents

>>1920305
he looks like that guy on the pic "at first i was like" who was super edgy and stuff then turned into a brony

>>1920711
trippy

Those grotesque naked kid statues at Moma. That shit makes Hitler's opinions seem almost valid.

>>1911371
I don't think any Dali has been posted yet... This painting gave me nightmares when I was a kid for some reason.

>>1921075
That's not a Dali. Dali didn't work digital.

more scary than anything

>>1921083
You're right, I didn't even notice it was digital. I just know we had a print of it on the wall and it scared me.

>>1921075
I saw many of these space elephants in a museum in Mexico City. There was some dude really into space elephants.

>>1918794
i was gonna call you absurd but you know after looking at it a bit i can see where you're coming from
the hunters three/rot stuff from animal man was pretty chilling to me, and i don't get spooked easily
that is until the while rot world thing happened, then everything went to shit

>>1921134
Really great run.

>>1921153
then what happened?

>>1912484

That's an interesting take on the four horsemen. Not really sure I understand the design of conquest, but it's still neat.

>>1922069
pretty sure that supposed to be famine instead of conquest is why

>>1922035
Edgy

>>1921768
pretentious shit, like many metal album covers

>>1922600
what exactly is "pretentious" about it?

>>1922600
>pretentious
i dont think you know what that word means

anything by Alfred Kubin

>>1922596
how is that edgy? shut up

>>1922665
>how is that edgy

2dark4me mental torture based off your deepest fears is edgy.

Its not scary at all, just a slightly better drawn version of the angsty dark shit you'd see scrawled in the pages of some teenager's schoolbook.

>>1919720
That freaks me the fuck out for some reason

>>1912566
what is this style called? this type of dark, unsettling style, but resembles actual people

this one scares me

>>1911608
Aside from composition and palette, the image is distorted. Lines that should be straight are bent, which I think gives it its unsettling feeling

>>1911601
how is that creepy it's a mickey mouse bat?

>>1912568
hahaha hirst is from hell
