Description Okay... I don't get scared easily. But god dang Slenderman freaks me the heck out 0_0!!!
I know he's not real... but sheesh! Some of those pictures are really eerie.

Something about a tall skinny tree thing with branches on it scares me
So I drew my own version of him, just for fun. I gave him spidery mossy like hair to make him more tree like, and... yeah some dutch Amish people. SAVE THE CHILDREN, OH GAAAWD!!!!
And I drew this on a stormy windy night... which didn't help AT ALL, especially when there's a huge, dark, thick forest just outside your window and tree branches scratching at the glass

This is one of the only up close Slenderman drawings I've seen. And its just as creepy as the ones where he's all ominous in the background, dear god he scares me.

So few people play up the "tree" angle of Slendy. So few people do him as some sort of malevolent gentleman fairy.

And that makes me a sad panda.

Love the creepy atmosphere of the picture, as well as your design of the Slenderman himself.


Personally, I used to be frightened of him, but a certain youtube video killed my fear. Hopefully this will help you as well as it did me [link]

Slendy!
It's refreshing to see a different look for him. Too many people depict him the exact same way (with a potato for a head XD ).
Just wonderful ^^

I love it when Slendy is depicted as more of a tree-person than some tentacled beastie.
Amazing job on this! The expressions, the poses, the atmosphere, the detail in branches, love it!

So what is this hype about Slenderman? o:
Do I just go look up images of him, a creepypasta, or... something else?

Regardless, this is an amazing picture.

Oh, wow. I can see why people find him creepy. o:
Now I'm going to have to look up more on him, because that's actually really interesting!

Pff. He's kind of like a supernatural pedo.

Oh Slendy how I love thee ~

I love the original folklore for Slenderman sooooo much! Marble Hornets is okay, but nowhere near as stylishly creepy and classy as the original story.

roseandthorn In reply to Doktor-Crooked [2011-03-10 03:20:26 +0000 UTC]

Ooo! Original folklore? 8D
My sis only showed me the Marble Hornets and some pictures, but now I'm really curious, didn't know there was an original :3

Doktor-Crooked In reply to roseandthorn [2011-03-10 12:02:00 +0000 UTC]

Yuppers! It's quite fantastic. It changes a bit depending on who's telling it, but it goes something like this:

The Slender man is only ever seen by children, and only appears when a child or multiple children disappear. His appearance is the same as it is Marble Hornets (formal wear, no face, etc.). If children see him, then they're not supposed to think about him because if they do that draws him to them. He has his signature extendable limbs for snatching up people, and no one knows what he does with his captives.

I know there's more, but it escapes me at the moment. Like I said, it varies depending who tells the story, but that's the basic info.

No problem!

They were like, disguised as perfectly okay trees, and when I walk up to them, they stand up and go "BLAAARG" and attack.

GOOD GOD, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! There is so much darn stylization to this and how the heck is this traditional!? WADJA DRAW THIS WITH, MAGIC!? XDD
Absolutely WONDERFUL, Sandra~ It looks like children's book illustration (like... a very GRIM illustration. <33)
But... Slenderman really freaks you out? That walking coat hanger!? JEEEEEZ, I honestly think your version is over a thousand times scarier than what the original Slenderman was. XD

Are ya for real!? I find that pretty hilarious, truly I do. xDD Slendy bendy looks more like a walking coat rack than a child-eater, I think. xDD Though really, your version of him is a thousand times scarier. O__O Perhaps you could incorporate something like this into your Sleepy Willow Grove story?

SteampunkStrawberry [2011-03-08 20:45:50 +0000 UTC]

I have NO idea of who the Slenderman is, and something tells me (probably my always ignored common sense) to not look for him in Wikipedia...
I love, anyway, how you managed to make it look like a horror movie; that black and white effect... without menctioning the awesomeness of the poor bystanders' expressions. Terrific.

Haha, true that! After my sister showed me what Slenderman was, I didn't wanna look out my window the rest of the evening haha I think it's fine to look him up though, it's just really eerie 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
