Lisa Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Took this from another forum I use. What do you guys think? Seeing as I can't paste pictures here for some stupid reason and my attachments arent working. I had to link instead... Enjoy! http://jackson22.googlepages.com/home Take a look at the picture above, I recently discovered this image and its tale in a korean publicaion. The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl comitted suicide, she drew this picture, scanned it and posted it online. In korea this story broke out and it spread like wildfire. There are various posts around in korean forums that say that the viewer gets drawn to the girls blue eyes, they say they can detect a hint of wraith and sadness within the eyes. Maybe the girl had died with so much sadness and anger that her spirit haunts the image, or maybe the image provoke sadness, similar to the song 'Gloomy Sunday'. The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girls eyes for longer than 5 minutes, there are reports that some people have taken their own lives after doing so. People say the picture changes, as you view it there is a hint of a growing taunting smirk appearing on the girls lips or a dark ring grows around the girl or her eyes. One thing is for sure, the picture has sparked a curiosity in me that I must find out, i do feel a presence when I look at the image, whether it is evil or not I can not judge. I would like to know what the global online community feels and maybe even experts in art would be able to resolve why the eyes of this image can draw the viewer in so deeply? - Jojo
Chump Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 To be honest, I felt no "presence" lol. I did, however, enjoy the painting. The shading is quite nice. As for it being haunted, even if it was, how would that work over the Internet? If you have read any books on ghosts or the supernatural, you would know that most often, you must be in contact with the object in question or have some close relationship with it, therefore, I doubt it is "haunted." <_< Good picture though Lisa, it gave me about 5 minutes of entertainment.
Killie Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Got to agree with you Chump. I thought it was a pretty decent picture but I didn't feel anything other than stupid for staring at a computer screen for so long.
Synister Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Thats pretty freaky, gives me the goosebumps when I look at it. Nice painting though.
Adam=- Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Sweet art work there. Id pound her anyday... if she was real muahahahhahh jk... Lets hope i don't get haunted or nothing now...
noriaki Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Just to ruin the moment, that picture isn't japanese lol. I doubt it anyways, so that busts the myth and gg . For one, the signature isn't formatted properly and secondly... Why would a Japanese girl draw blue eyes and brownish hair... Japanese literally all have brown eyes and black hair... of course that doesn't prevent her from drawning blue eyes and brownish hair, but I'd figure that there's a higher probability of her drawing brown eyes and black hair if she was Japanese. Course, her intent was obviously to draw an American girl, !@#$%^&*uming she was Japanese, since the person in the picture is obviously not asian... But even in that case, the signature is so off from the traditional format that it pretty much prevents the fact of it being a Japanese drawing...
Chump Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Good Game indeed. I still found the post amusing.
larrythehamster Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Decent picture... As for the "can't stare at it for more than five minutes..."Maybe people just have better things to do then spend ages staring at some suicidal girl?
Lisa Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 lol dude. I just posted the story. I did not however comment. But now I will. Nori I agree with you. I said in the original forum that posted this, that I thought it was rubbish.
Delic Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 No one said you did comment? And noriaki, the story is a little tricky because it says that a teenage girl comitted suicide in Japan, not that she was japanese. But yeah, it's a bullsh1t story anyways, a waste of forum space.Surely you can find something better than this, Lisaflisa ;/ P.S. Since I don't have anything better to do, I'm going to try to stare at the picture for 10 minutes! If I'm not back in 10, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! EDIT: K I'm back after 5 minutes, because apparently I do have something better to do, this is just too re!@#$%^&*ed even for me.AH there's so many things I could point out about the little article that are wrong, but it's just re!@#$%^&*ed, so let's just leave it at that.
Autofire Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Maka we all know you don't have anything better to do...*sigh*
