Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

at first i thought it was a painted hand holding a fish.

then i saw it was just hands.

awesome.

[–]Pseudophobic 4 points5 points ago

[–]KongFuPanda 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say the exact same thing.

Totally mindfucked by this beautiful work right now.

[–]saevus1 1 point2 points ago

sorry for your mind fuck, please contact this group for needed help.

[–]KongFuPanda 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, if it doesn't get better in a few hours i will contact them. ;-)

[–]WrethZ 82 points83 points ago

The leopard one would have looked better as a snake.

[–]TOMEA 12 points13 points ago

it's a leopard snake.... the fastest snake in the world....

[–]batdad89 21 points22 points ago

haha the horses one is so funny. horses, they're like big lame dogs that dont really like you

[–]kotoandjuri 3 points4 points ago

lame dogs

Don't we shoot those too?

[–]naidiriv -1 points0 points ago

:( you just gave me a sad

[–]Roopa132 0 points1 point ago

Horses are so dumb. They're just short geraffes.

[–]thedrnasty 0 points1 point ago

that is exactly what i thought too

[–]Seife 1 point2 points ago

I once drew a pretty damn good snake on my hand in class, with sharpys. I should have taken a photo. You can actually draw a tooth on your index finger and cover it with your thumb, if it's mouth is closed.

[–]wemtastic 23 points24 points ago

That's some really handsome artwork

[–]ScreamThyLastScream 8 points9 points ago

Certainly points out their talent.

[–]DShepard 1 point2 points ago

Must have been hard to paint all of them by hand.

[–]Fidgetstic 0 points1 point ago

You can barely see the mooseknuckles.

[–]batdad89 -3 points-2 points ago

I'd like to shake there hands but would probably ruin the ink :(

[–]loafjunky 1 point2 points ago

[–]gET9146 -1 points0 points ago

Yea I really gotta hand it to you.

[–]JashHavilla 6 points7 points ago

Hands

[–]riptaway 3 points4 points ago

"fake animals"

[–]hphgrw2003 1 point2 points ago

last time i checked, unicorns were fake animals.

[–]aaronaqua1 8 points9 points ago

A couple more... A panther and my personal favourite, an Eagle.

[–]JacobCurry 2 points3 points ago

Random fact:
'Panther'(Panthera) is a genus, not a species, containing the species of lions(leo), tigers(tigris), leopards(pardus), and jaguars(onca).

[–]Phuck_Nugget 5 points6 points ago

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Just... Wow.

[–]Aadub 1 point2 points ago

Took the words right outta my mouth...

[–]Amarowar -1 points0 points ago

:<> wow

[–]sleepy_wall 1 point2 points ago

Especially the fish...

Took me forever to figure out that the water behind it.

[–]cobra_2109 2 points3 points ago

Where can I get one?

[–]JacobCurry 4 points5 points ago

Chances are, you already have two!

[–]cobra_2109 1 point2 points ago

Lies.

[–]ypod 3 points4 points ago

Source? It looks like something is edited out in the bottom right corner.

[–]ignitionnight 0 points1 point ago

Didn't even realize that. Such a douche thing to do.

[–]neosmurf 2 points3 points ago

I've seen a few of these in an airport some time ago.

Found a few by Guido Daniele:

Apparently he has done advertising:

[–]Spanka -1 points0 points ago

The cheetah is what amazes me, that thing is fucking cool.

[–]JacobCurry 0 points1 point ago

I think it's supposed to be a leopard. Maybe a jaguar.

[–]twomillionyetis 0 points1 point ago

sees fish sees hands make sure im not high phew, this is brilliant

[–]Chezzabe 1 point2 points ago

Are they hand painted?

[–]SteevieWeavie 1 point2 points ago

At first when I saw the ones with the fish, I thought it meant that the hands were painted so that they would blend in with the animals, but then I looked closer. This was really cool.

[–]Naggers123 0 points1 point ago

oh my god some of these are hands

[–]BlueberryJamOnToast 0 points1 point ago

All of them are...

[–]slumpsox 0 points1 point ago

That's the best horse hand I have every seen anyone make

[–]PoppaRoucha 0 points1 point ago

These we used as commercials for a TV company in Mexico.

[–]Nevermorez 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought the moose had Nicholas Cage's face photoshopped on it.

[–]Beknar 0 points1 point ago

Could you tatoo this on your hands or is it not possible with the permanent ink?

[–]PartTimeLegend 0 points1 point ago

If they are painted on then they can likely be tattooed on. You need an amazing artist who can mix the colours though.

Where do you live? Maybe we can find an artist good enough for this.

[–]MagicDr 0 points1 point ago

I still think they are photoshopped

[–]just_go_with_it 0 points1 point ago

unless the wrist used for the iguana was broken, these photos have been manipulated :/

[–]giottomkd 0 points1 point ago

Wow! Sarah Jessica Parker one is beyond real!

[–]donkey_on_the_moon 1 point2 points ago

That's a risky move turning your hand into a horse. I just saw a story on the front page about horses and broken bones. If you hand breaks we have no choice but to put you down.

[–]courtmast0r 1 point2 points ago

Those are some nice handjobs.

[–]TheHellKat 0 points1 point ago

If these are real or not is irrelivant... either way someone has way too much time on their hands, and an awesome way of wasting it :D

[–]cmatute 1 point2 points ago

I like how they "subtly" removed the watermark at the lower right corner.

[–]s3borz 0 points1 point ago

holy shit 3 hands

[–]SupSatire 0 points1 point ago

Unicorns aren't real.

[–]nianubisn1 0 points1 point ago

As opposed to all those fake animals?

[–]Lykoaster 0 points1 point ago

That iguana looks real enough to touch...

[–]naacal1 1 point2 points ago

That's kinda old

[–]PuffleSnuffles 1 point2 points ago

Thanks, Grandpa

[–]TyC0n 0 points1 point ago

Feel like I've seen these at so many airports

[–]captcrunch2052 0 points1 point ago

my brain hurts.

[–]CoachCougar 0 points1 point ago

Here's a video of the handmodel doing some of these with the artist. The model's name is Ryan Serhart, and I have no idea why he's a hand model and not a rest of body model. (Ryan appears about 1:20 in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx3zaT1dap4

Dear Diary: Today OP didn't suck.

[–]DancesWithDaleks 0 points1 point ago

[–]amolad 0 points1 point ago

Nice work, but kinda creepy...

[–]WalkInLove 0 points1 point ago

Mind. Blown.

[–]Phatness 0 points1 point ago

The horse one would look better as a Llama

[–]Bwtadpole 0 points1 point ago

Looked at the first one. "Big deal, it's just a hand painted like waves holding a plastic fish."

Oh, was I wrong...

[–]wudaddy 0 points1 point ago

The moose looked demonic.

[–]spri0 0 points1 point ago

i saw the first picture and thought it was just a lame hand holding a fish and then OMG THE FISH IS A HAND

[–]StuckXJ 0 points1 point ago

I saw this in an airport once.

[–]The_Bangs 0 points1 point ago

Who has time for this?

[–]benw24 0 points1 point ago

Someone who's getting paid, for an ad campaign for AT&T.

[–]benw24 0 points1 point ago

[–]KMPR 0 points1 point ago

There was an exhibition at a local mall called "Linden-Center" here in Berlin, Germany. It took me about 3 minutes until I realized that these animals are painted hands.

[–]melmosaurus 0 points1 point ago

On the first one I was like "that doesn't count they just painted his hand as a wave and he's just holding a fish"

[–]hijackhijinx 0 points1 point ago

I imagine this photo probably was, at one point, one of those really annoying chain emails

[–]dontletthebaconfoolu 0 points1 point ago

I would have to say he was fishing for something to do.

[–]RustledJimmies7 0 points1 point ago

my art teacher is making us do hand art, and he showed us all these pictures

[–]a_sloth 1 point2 points ago

The fish ones really - REALLY - confused me

[–]ZINDADINGY 2 points3 points ago

[–]3AYATS 0 points1 point ago

Nope. Chuck Testa.

[–]steelbydesign 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else remember that movie little monsters with Fred Savage, and the scene where his hand turns into a dog and eats the kid's homework?

Thats what this reminded me of.

[–]Dopaminedreams 0 points1 point ago

I like the Sara Jessica Parker one on the bottom right

[–]Mattyryan 0 points1 point ago

That guy has three hands! Awesome...
