I mean, it's not like you can put a jumpscare in a picture, lmao

slight gore, and using gore is okay too

​@@nsk1911 an artist can also me a film maker or an animator

I think it counts as bodyhorror!

@@nsk1911flip-o-rama…

Me too. I get disappointed when I see people just call the image “Tomino’s Hell”

❤

Why didn't you ask YT to find dear Yugo ? .

The title has the word "artist" so it would be safe to assume that the video was going to be about the artist and not about the creepypasta

@@gabet7193 true

I love the parallel to korn. You’re so right

​@@llemonpup Who is Korn?? If I may ask..

@@Bodhi246 it’s a nu metal band. Their lyrics and sound are dark and even grotesque and like sobek said, they tackle issues of abuse and mental illness. If you’re intrigued by Tatsushima’s work, you might dig them too. Really worth checking out

Bro KoRn is my favorite band

@@Bodhi246 I recommend listening to Blind first and Ball tongue second, they’re really good songs

the grittiness is really effective to create atmosphere

I feel like the japanese tend to be more gritty and crude in their art than other cultures, the paintings remind me a lot of silent hill games and other japanese horror media related to visual art and such, it's like they just don't hold back when they have to make something off-putting and scary

It reminds me of the artstyle of Junji Ito. Hers is obviously different and not necessarily better, but more expressive and to me more fear provoking. However what Junji Ito does is a different type of media anyway so its useless comparing them. Her artstyle just reminds me of his.

And how that face is kind of separated from the body, distant, I'd say. I don't want to theorize on her life, but the first thing that came to mind after hearing the title of that piece and observing that painting was SA during childhood/adolescence. It's one body but like you said, her face seems to be one of a kid, growing distant of that adult body. It's eerie, yet beautiful in its own way

just what i thought esp. because in the painting shown prior ... i noticed the cloth on hear knees and thought it looked like a torn down underwear .... but it wasn't mentioned in the video.

lame

​@@paulwoodford1984tell me wtf is lame lil pussi

Welcome to a world of madness and hell

That's why I relate so much to so many of these images. I used to think I was completely broken. I suffered COCSA and became terrified of sex, becoming severely sexually repressed. I was so scared my partner would leave me because I couldn't meet his needs. When I did start trying to have sex, I would suffer dissociation and vaginismus. I am so fortunate my partner is so loving and completely understands. He stuck with me through my recovery, and now we have a much more normal relationship. But even now I am still terrified my partner will leave me, even if I am so much more recovered than I was 2 years ago. In January I experienced something treading the line between sexual harassment and sexual assault. It was non consensual touching, I said no and he continued regardless, but it was only for a few seconds or so, and only light touches and not full on groping, so idk if that would still be assault or harassment. Either way, it ended up triggering my past memories of abuse, and I ended up having a breakdown, sobbing while my partner tried to comfort me. My fear was that I would fall back into being "broken", unlovable and that he'd hate me. I was terrified he'd leave me and that he wouldn't want to go through what we went through together again. Fortunately, while my mental health was impacted by what happened, I have good coping skills and am not "broken" like I was scared I'd become. But it just goes to show how badly even "light" SA or harassment can do to someone. It makes people feel so guilty, like they're gross and disgusting, unworthy of love, etc. Even now I just feel so unstable, like I'm going insane. It's why I've always related to Yuko Tatsushimas work. Sorry this was a bit of a rant.

@whatisthis1958 I'm so sorry that happened to you. You're incredibly strong to have gotten through all of it and so brave to let yourself be vulnerable with your partner and even here in this comment. I know I'm just some pixels on a screen representing a stranger somewhere far away, but I am so so so proud of you. I believe in your strength and courage, and I know that you will be able to get through any challenges you face, just like you already have.

​@what is this I am so sorry. So incredibly sorry.

​@what is this I am here if you want to talk. Socials are in my bio linked. Im gonna be busy for a whilw til june but.. I can understand how you feel. But you are worth it. I've never had a single partner. A partner's value for you or your sexual value doesn't define you. If you want to have sex then I'm not sure how much work it'll be. Or what you can do. If you don't then fine. Find someone who is asexual. Hopefully your current bf is like that. Think about it like this: I will die alone and that's not the worst thing ever. Friends are as important as a bf. Your value is determined by neither though. I don't know how I can make you feel ...whole. But I have neither friends nor anyone who's ever been attracted to me or liked me. I'm a guy though. My point is don't rely on him to make you feel worth it. You are! You are amazing and I'd love to get to know you as would people in real life. It's hard to make friends but you are worth marrying

It can also mean that you can no longer be around men and want nothing to do with them

I wish I could’ve painted or drawn my emotions. Probably would’ve saved me from engaging in self-harm for 9 years on & off after

Yukos art feels like a manifestation of Malice and Hatred and looks like it has burnt itself (literally) into her art. It honestly reminds me of some old depictions of Naraka (Buddhist Hell.) and the Malice from Zelda BotW

What does AS ?

@@theworldofthestrangethings7599 SA ( s*xual assault )

Just say "abused people" instead of "abused women". No need to gender a crime that can happen to anyone. In my country, the majority of child sexual abuse victims were reported to be male from a national study on child abuse. There was a large percentage of severe cases where the victims were anally raped or had objects inserted in their rectums. The majority of these cases had a male victim, too. I believe we should support all victims of rape and sexual abuse, regardless of gender.

yep, I thought the same!

Yeah. Idk why BJD's are such a foreign concept in the west nowadays. It's clearly a BJD. Tatsushima is known to associate with BJD artists (I'm not talking about those commercialized cast dolls, but dolls by proper artists). She also tried making dolls herself, although I'm not too much of a fan of her doll creations. There are other AMAZING female BJD artists in Japan.

she’s active on twitter!

@@weepingwill0w0 what’s her Twitter?

@@aughhhhh8304 oh wow, this is good to kno. i was wondering and hoping she was still alive 😩 im glad she is and hope shes doing well

she's pretty active on twitter, and she's gone on record to say she despises that her work has been reduced down to just a picture from a creepypasta. she also doesn't like her work being posted online [like in downloadable png form] by other people even with credit, but that could've been lost in translation

looking past the uncanny valley vibes and deeper into the art itself is so.... heartbreaking and empowering, past the surface level, it really hits something else i couldn't explain. it wasnt until he said she was diagnosed with borderline that i felt i could connect a lot more because my own artwork has started speaking out my own traumas and has gotten a lot darker recently as i work through it, and seeing that im not alone in that was so validating yet at the same time... its just a hell of an illness to have and i hate hearing others have it too cause it really is like it's own personal prison :(

I realize that it might have been going a bit fast for you, but do you know what “SA” usually stands for in this context? It wasn’t the man she wanted, we can tell you that much.

@jeff speak bitch what

@jeffspeak8247 ¿

“feminine rage” is such a weak word to describe this artwork considering female rage consists of screaming, slapping and clawing

You felt she pain? Who cutted your arm? Want me call an ambulance or a police? 😂

@@Gru..- well no, i mean i understand the pain she felt in the image im someone whose dealt with self harm in the past and just felt a strong connection to the painting as ive dealt with similar problems as she has

@@shewantsrevenge5449 glad that you are ok and taking care of yourself now, if you are happy and ok thats all that matters

@@Gru..- thank you :) its definitely harder this year [ive slipped up a couple times], but i appreciate your concern, same goes to you friend

@@shewantsrevenge5449 thanks you but im okay. You deserve much better and always keep light bro, stay cool

As a 24 year old man it’s hard to feel scared or intimidated but the artist does it perfect

That’s how you tell an artist is talented. Even if the rules of proportions, perspective, etc. are being broken, you feel something. I hope to be able to put my feelings on a canvas and FORCE people to empathize rather than ask. Some of my older art had the anger of,”You will feel what I feel, but I won’t do what you did” and that’s honestly liberating when someone looks at it and tells you how it makes them feel. (Edit was corrections)

some of the most talented artists are troubled, the talents are usually come with a "price", sadly

Probably, but the common theme indicates she's expressing pain. If she didn't have the repetitious theme if abuse against women, I wouldn't be so disrespectful as to be like 'lawl clearly a goth'.

@@nachgeben I didn't mean zero disrespect saying she might be goth, realise, many goth are people in pain, why they are more embracing the dark side of life. I do see also lots of influences from older horror manga creators too.

@@osenator Embracing pain doesn't make you a goth. Neither does trauma. That's an entirely different thing. Her art expresses personal trauma as well as empathy towards the abused and imagery of what it's like to suffer from a mental illness (in Japan, where mental illness is looked down on or ignored).

@@GirtheAlienGoldfish of course, I think they’re just saying her art incorporates goth aesthetics to express said pain

@@SOBEKCrocodileGod Stop trying. These idiots don't think.

have you followed her on there ? or liked any paintings ? maybe that way you can find her username !

but ofc, its best to ask for her permission first

She has recently had 100s of new followers and it seems this has really upset her and made her stressed. By all means look at her paintings on twitter, but please do not follow or interact with her.

you really articulated how I feel about her work too!

Damn straight her art work is horrific and disturbing the amount of patience hard work and time she has to be able to create these is incredible imagine if she made five nights at freddys themed art with the same horrific gothic style she has it would probably never happen but it would be cool if she did

Well then.. show us something would you kindly?😊

Arguable

That was a pretty spot on prediction actually!

Bongfully Accused

Hope it gets better for you😞

art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed

In few world: childhood scare trauma its because the creepypasta , back then, kids believed in almost everything, until someone made an transformice creepypasta

I think she earned that title because there's actual meaning behind her work. Many people who dive into things like gore and horror create artwork like a pizza cutter... all edge and no point. Her art has meaning and it hits the viewer right in the face. There's no denying the sheer agony she's experienced

AI is lame, real human work is where it's at

No. Most people would just say it's garbage. Which is true. It's pretentious bs that doesn't actually mean anything.

@Veronica Caramel Are you okay? I'm sorry you feel the need to go out of your way to insult someone's artistic expression of their trauma. It's not everyone's taste, sure, but I know plenty of people who identify with and adore this artwork. Either way, I hope your day gets better.

@@Lunar_Spell ofc I'm okay. Rape is good. It made me learn how to love myself

@@Jumpscare_Da_Piggy Imagine being so pressed about someone’s art that you had to make an alt to talk shit 💀

As a male I would say that the feeling I felt was probably more close to sadness, at first some of the pictures were really gorey looking but as you look more you start to realize’s it’s just the color scheme.

To be fair, Japan was completely isolated for a good chunk of history

this is just my opinion but ive always thought that it could be partially chalked up to the unavoidable familiarity with death and suffering after the events of WWII. not enough people acknowledge how insanely barbaric and cataclysmic the bombings were. i’m sure the pain created by something so devastating resonated throughout the country, and continues to show its scars

​@@armandperez711 I think it goes even before the bombings. Nanking and unit 731

I think their very restrictive government also plays a role on it. I remember ero guro nansensu was a response to their government

i think it’s a mix of culture and isolationism, shared history and generational trauma (i.e. the atomic bomb), and government actions (like how tentacle porn basically exists because of govt censors). combine these with individuals with their own stories and motivations, and i think you have your answer there.

Other than both being horror, I don’t see the resemblance

Imo, Tatsushima's work is more dreadful and eerie.

@@boozebiskwhiskey7422 That may be because she depict real life issue of abuse thru her paintings, a think that unfortunately still happen to someone even as we speak now, unlike the dreadful feeling that Itto Junji brings which is mainly disturbing but you are well aware it won't hapoen irl.

Their only semblance is the fact their both horror, both are terrifying in their own way 😭

I just don't agree, one feels more like horror for the sake of horror, the other is clearly trying to send a message.

Did you get nightmares?

Thanks a million!

the painting is indeed cool as fuck but i think if i had it hanging in my home i would shit myself every time i got up to get a drink of water and passed by it

Thank you I really appreciate that! Happy New Year to you as well :)
