Took me too long to realise they were paintings and not pictures... Well they're still pictures I guess, but you get what I mean. I hope.

Still not getting why a forest god would wear a suit and tie. Seems to be trying to tap into Slenderman story.

I thought it looks exactly like the big guy from RE2.

Yeah, that just doesn't fit the aesthetic in my opinion.

Wow. This has created a fundimental shift in how I imagine art

5 years ago | Likes 311 Dislikes 4

It's really amazing how it's both clearly impressionist, but what it conveys is real black and white film. Just amazing.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It's like a comic, a painting and a movie

Yo, honestly I thought these were photos with actors at first. I'm hella impressed with this guy's skill!

I do love the idea that there is a dude with a phone just taking pics. That's the most realistic part.

Hahaha, fuck, that's so true.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Where is it shown or implied that someone is taking pictures?

5 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

The whole thing is meant to imitate black and white camera shots, or am I mistaken?

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Some of those are selfies...

5 years ago | Likes 92 Dislikes 0

These are pencil drawings.

5 years ago | Likes 31 Dislikes 1

I think it’s supposed to look like trail cam pics. That’s what kept me immersed as long as I was.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

You're probably right, but then some of the angles are even weirder.

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

This sir. You are funny.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The last frame in part one kind of blows it because it's not a plausible location for the observer.

5 years ago | Likes 46 Dislikes 4

Thats just a selfie with the bros

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

What about the picture from the inside of the mouth of one of the “deer”?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's the one I mean.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Telephoto lenses are a thing.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's taken from one of the antler creatures perspective though.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It is if the forest god rips his head right off and uses the camera to take a selfie.

5 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 0

He's talking about image #10 though, which is on top of the antler creatures head. Of course they could be wearing a gopro helmet as deer do

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Nah phone just got snagged in the antlers, that's why everyone is staring, trying to figure out how to get it back

I like everything but the way the big demon is dressed. Having the Forest God look like well-fed Slender Man doesn't work for me.

5 years ago | Likes 239 Dislikes 5

Well it didn't say he was The God of the Forest. Could be a Demon God but they just so happen to be in a forest lol

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Was getting king in yellow vibes myself

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

he looks like the New Orleans axe murderer.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Frankly the killer rabbit ruined it for me. It was just Monty Python after that.

Too bad they didn't have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch with them.

You referenced Slender Man! ?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 6

Yeesh.... Is Slender Man unpopular here or something?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It could be that in my extreme innocence regarding horror movies (which I NEVER watch) that I confused this with The Thin Man (c1939).

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Oops, 1934. A murder mystery romance starring Myrna Loy and William Powell. It's fun if you like that kind of thing.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Slender man takes interest in people who talk about him... o.o

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Maybe he's just some demon/god that was buried there and he corrupts everything around him which just happened to be animals.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Maybe. But why is he dressed like a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman from the 1950s?

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No. That's mr x

Is X going to bring it to ya?

Lol was going to make the same comment. Why would the god of the forest be dressed like a 1920s mobster

Clearly a forest god should have a bow tie

And fishnet pantyhose.

Agree- should look more pagan

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yep - wearing tattered hides/furs, etc. The bowler hat and suit look is cool, but doesn't fit with the theme.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Also agree- he looks like he wants to sell you a used car

"It's a certified, pre-owned Buick!" THE HORROR!!!

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

To me, it invokes mystery on who or what this thing was before. Maybe a tax collector that gave his soul to the devil?

5 years ago | Likes 68 Dislikes 1

I thought of it like the aliens from XCOM that try to assume human form but wouldn't pass at 100 yards.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I was thinking the mafia killed one of their own, and his soul had so much hatred that he let himself be possessed by the forest

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I don't dislike the drawing itself, but I can't reconcile it with the title: Forest God. He reeks too much of corrupted civilization.

5 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 1

Maybe Forest Dude or Forest Gump?

5 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Totally agree

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It matches the forests here in Eastern Washington just fine. Before the settlers came there were huge swaths of old-growth oak forest, but

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

though greed and ignorance they cut it all down and white pine is all that's left. We don't have deciduous forest anymore, only coniferous.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

maybe he's just another puppet of the forest god

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Forest Ghandi is the name of the puppet

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I assumed it was a hint as to the last time he was awake, like maybe he was burried in the 1800s

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Or just the most recent human husk he's inhabiting
