i personally dont like guro...but something about the 2 mermaids hugging each other makes me feel for them...

I don't like gore either. But the novelty of it all makes it a winner.

If it weren't for the two hugging mermaid, this wouldn't be worth it.
Those mermaids made it win(as win as guro can get.)

....um... very nice detail and the oint is pretty straight foreward... but it makes me sick to my stomach

O_O

I'd like gore, but not with girls...

Lesson is, the fishing industry is very cruel

Damn, cruelty & violence = evil. As much as I can understand someone who wanks to drawn loli rape or even bestiality, I don't know what people see in gore... In RL all of these are a big no-no! though.

Gore! Blood! Boobs! Fish?

I've never hurt anyone in my life, thanks.

They have dolphin safe tuna
But does anyone care about the innocent mermaids?

comment #42788
oops

the hugging ones make me sad...

They might have dolphin safe tuna, but they don't have tuna safe tuna.

Since when where mermaids so small..?

I normally don't look at guro, but this is pretty damn amazing.

one of the reasons I don't like to eat fish or seafood...

Well, japan started to hunt whales again and kills thousands of them just because they say it is for "studys" even known they end as food.

very interesting work.
i think if the bodies were the same color as the tails it will look a bit better. but overall the picture is amazing.

any one even see the one laying eggs on the right?

In any case, I highly doubt that its a "protest" against anything.

Easily my all-time-favourite work. (Guro and non-guro included)

The full title of this picture is "Icebox on the Fishing Boat". It depicts a necessary part of purse selines fishing process. Since fishes are dragged a long way before the catch can be brought in, a lot of them would be pretty mutilated when unloaded. Then they will be kept on ice until the boat docks, unless there is a processing facility onboard.

While the fishes are supposed to be flash-frozen, some non-creditable source said that they are still conscious up to 15 minutes after being thrown into ice.

I got the idea of this picture one day when I was half asleep midnight. Immediately I got up and did a rough-sketch and worked on it for about 10 days. Since I was drawing a fantasy creature, a lot of human anatomy (something that I still have much to learn) were pretty much ignored.

A lot of people told me that their focus of this picture was the couple on the lower-left corner. I tried to work quite a few different ideas into this picture (like freezing to death, mental shocking, pregnancy etc.). This is one of them. And just one of them in my view. Actually my favourite is the arm-breaking on the upper-left. It shows the difference of the physical strength between these mermaids and their captor, supposely human.

One person asked why are their hair braided/tied (which I did not answered at that time). I wanted this to hint subtly that these are somewhat sentient/civilized creatures, not just some meat-lump that happens to have a human face.

It still remains one of my favourite picture ever since.

In fact, most of my guro work ideas were sprung up when I was half asleep. I suspect some sort of guro-fairy was to be blamed. (?!)

This doesn't make me feel sorry for fish but it makes me feel sorry for the little mermaids :(

It's just you.

Damn you, Peta!

Obviously.

And this is why i don't even eat fish anymore.

Really? It makes me even more hungry for fish.

I had one here a minute ago. I wonder where that fish has gone...

Ever been to the fish market in Japan? It's a lot like this.

Oh man, damn you, I can not stop laughing.

OMG... I'll never be able to look at the fish on my plate the same way ever again....

yas

for some reason, I find this pic, extremely depressing and cruel. I dont like it.

I seem to recall something like this being discussed on the Dwarf Fortress forums since mermaid bones are very valuable in that game :<.

All that i wanted to write are already posted so
......
Damn.

If this piece were trying to make a statement then it would work pretty well, but what i know about guro artists they are just fullfilling their sick fantasies. Better through art than real people tho...

I'm curious what's going on in their heads tho.

Except it IS making a statement:
