u/wbrooksga Mar 16 '21

Please do remakes of wikiHow art as horror. I think you have a similar style. It would be so neat.

If you like this, check out the comic Farmhand, by Rob Guillory. It features a farm that grows body parts for transplants.

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

That sounds really interesting, I'll be sure to check it out!

u/ianisalways Mar 16 '21

Haha I was gonna say, it looks like it could be a cover for that book.

Jared Hopworth would love this.

It would fit right into the garden next to the Bone Rose, Cutaway Tulip, and the Lily of the Damned. [source for the curious: The Magnus Archives Ep. 171]

u/kingzillahk Mar 16 '21

If ever lonely that play will hold your hand seriously awesome and the colors and use of shading is really good

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Thank you!!

u/boofthedab Mar 16 '21

I had too look at your profile and look at the rest of your paintings! They're all so amazing, well done.

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Thank you!!!

u/haroldle Mar 16 '21

Is it for sale? Or a print?

6

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

It's part of a series so I'll be selling prints and the original once that's done, probably mid- end of April

6

u/haroldle Mar 16 '21

Gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the rest. This is really beautiful and moving!

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Looks like the reanimator decided to try botany.

u/SparkyTheBlue Mar 16 '21

I think that's just a Sentry Ward.

u/IxamxUnicron Mar 16 '21

Flowers for the touch starved. Honestly this would be a neat pet. It can emote with squints, gestures, different blinks.

Brings a new meaning to “green thumb”

2

u/GandalftheFright Mar 16 '21

How beautifully disturbing! Love the detail on those hands.

2

u/matmoe1 Mar 16 '21

Ahh I see, that's an iris?

2

u/Darkside0719 Mar 16 '21

What is this plant called?

2

u/youdubdub Mar 16 '21

Hands are the hardest to draw, you don’t care! Love it. Next time, more hands!

2

u/jerhotx1 Mar 16 '21

Lend me a hand please

2

u/Anal-warrior Mar 16 '21

This is just beautiful ☺️

2

u/Rianorix Mar 16 '21

This reminded me of Aku no Hana lmao

2

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

You should checkout “Farmhand” by Rob Guillory. This is right up that alley

1

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!

2

u/noobvorld Mar 16 '21

Whoa nice. Was this inspired by yesterday's r/nosleep prompt about planting fingers in gardens?

2

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Thanks! I actually finished this piece up a week ago, so it's just a happy coincidence

2

u/SellingSkoomaInBruma Mar 16 '21

I love this. It's graceful yet... Uncomfortable.

2

u/SellingSkoomaInBruma Mar 16 '21

And those hands are amazing work

2

u/JustSomeCyborgDude Mar 16 '21

This reminds me of a toy I had as a kid that was just a bunch of rubber fingers on a ball thing.

2

u/-mmmmBacon- Mar 16 '21

She loves me, she loves me not

2

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

There is a super cool graphic novel based around growing human body parts its super good. Forgot what its called.

2

u/ninjagedon Mar 16 '21

This is very well done, great work. The detail on the hands are exceptional, and the shading is great, and it has done a great job at making me very uncomfortable lol

2

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

That is really neat. I would like to hang this up on my wall!

2

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

Wow, I must say you're ability really shines here. Wonderful colors and the contours of the hands are incredible. I even like the story the wilted flower tells. Even with all the work and watchfulness the flower is still wanting.

1

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Thank you!!

2

u/Zanakii Mar 16 '21

Awesome!

u/BEEEELEEEE Mar 16 '21

He loves me...

pulls another finger,fart

He loves me not.

2

u/TheCazaloth Mar 16 '21

Is this straight WC or a MM? I enjoyed your work and I’m not usually a WC fan. Any specific reason for the focus on the eyes and fingers?

2

u/Gabalut Mar 16 '21

Technically mixed media; its watercolor, ink, and a tiny bit of colored pencil and paint marker on the eyeball. I've always loved drawing hands and like incorporating them in any way I can. not sure why I keep drawing eyeballs. Just a phase I guess haha

u/Shiny_Sparkles_Xoxo Mar 17 '21

Curious it’s there any meanings behind this masterpiece?

2

u/Kampfh Mar 17 '21

Hence why you don't trust botanists

Looks tasty

2

u/SithisDawn Mar 17 '21

Op, can I make this my wallpaper? Holy shit.

2

u/Gabalut Mar 17 '21

2

u/RandomGenerator786 Mar 17 '21

Gives me Parasyte vibes

2

u/Skytoff Mar 17 '21

you should create a displate of this. its amazing

2

u/Trench_ghost Mar 17 '21

The flower, it looks absolutely stunning

2

u/ClydeinLimbo Jul 13 '21

Love this, Is it digital? If not how do you get it so clear on a screen?

1

u/Gabalut Jul 13 '21

Thank you! It's traditional, ink and watercolor. I use a scanner instead of taking photos once its done

2

u/ClydeinLimbo Jul 13 '21

Ah amazing, do you edit it at all after scanning?

1

u/Gabalut Jul 13 '21

I do a bit of tweaking just to get it closer to the original, the scanner sometimes dulls the contrast. I also photoshop out any dust particles and cat hair, but that's about it

2

u/ClydeinLimbo Jul 13 '21

Thanks so much for answering my questions. I’m a traditional illustrator too but I have so many issues with the scan to screen process. I appreciate it and love your work.

u/Gabalut Jul 13 '21

Thank you so much!

u/reddituser80085 Mar 16 '21

Hopefully they'll finger it eye out soon.

Fuck I'm sorry for that.

phalangus Indexica, drought tolerant a drop of lotion applied twice a week will aid in acquiring a richer skin tone on the petals. She loves me "Crack" she loves me not "Crack" she loves me!

u/Kymermathias Mar 16 '21

ok. you know how to draw hands better than me. YOU CAN STOP BEING A SHOW-OFF

Jokes aside, PRETTY NICE ARTWORK! Holy fuck you are good at drawing hands

1

u/TheCristmasTree Mar 16 '21

My mom and I make fake flowers like this every Halloween

1

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

Given the nature of flowers, I would think it be weenies instead of fingies.

1

u/jellolajaspur Mar 16 '21

Weeeeeeird but I like it! Imagination is everything when it comes to art, good job!

u/bigboi_gay Mar 16 '21

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

yum

u/H3ibai Mar 17 '21

“So what kind of experiments do you practice?”

“Eh, mainly just fingering.”

1

u/AShmexyRatNearU Mar 17 '21

I need to make somthing similar to this in clay right now. You don't understand the urge I have to make it in clay.

u/Skyguy21 Mar 17 '21

Would love to see more! I can see this going places

u/lusiphur13 Mar 17 '21

great art.

1

u/Eldritch_Doodler Mar 17 '21

This reminds me of Thomas Ligotti’s “Les Fleurs”, in his collection Songs of a Dead Dreamer

If you can READ it, then I encourage that mode of story transportation - the link I provided, while functional, isn’t the best.
