The Perfect Storm Illusion
May 21, 2007 by Vurdlak
As he said himself, M. Shahadat Hossain (the submitter of this artwork), found it while browsing the net. It is a very interesting illustration concept of a storm, and a shipwreck in it. It looks as if there is a terrible faith awaiting these young sailors hanging from the foremast. Just move your head away from the monitor, and you'll become aware of their destiny too. It gave me chills first time I saw it. Skulls were very popular in art few centuries ago, and carried a pretty big influence on artists today. I'm not quite sure when this illustration was created, nor who is the original author, but never the less its real masterpiece! Enjoy. Be sure to check our previous scary illusion, as well as other skull art from the archives.

Amazing !
Lame! Too many 'excuses' to make the skull
I Get The Skull, But i Don't Get The Point...?
Still, Great Site!
Wow, pretty impresive but i think we all know that ya'll can do better...
Meow!
gyaaaah! SCARY!
Getting really tired of the "You can do better" comments. If you have something better - put a link to it on your comment, if not - shut your yap.
wierd i couldn't c it at first!
I like this one. It's a lot more subtle than many of the other skull ones, and it also had a deeper message.
whoa that's creepy
I like it!!! it kinda chills ya.
cool, it's kinda chilling.
This is a "zooming" illusion: It looks more like a skull when you zoom out and more like a ship when you zoom in. Keep those skulls coming!!!
if you look in the flag above the crows nest you will see the name of the artist in question "Orosz"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istv%C3%A1n_Orosz seems he has several pictures of this type. some much better than this one.
thank u skippy, for your accuracy (so rare in the comments…). Istvan Orosz is a great hungarian artist whose work is mostly based on optical illusions, check his site : http://web.axelero.hu/utisz/page.htm
And thank you Vurdlak for my daily dose of illusion.
"It looks as if there is a terrible faith awaiting these young sailors hanging from the foremast."

ehhhh...it's obvious

Exactly, if you don't like it, don't say it.
When the image was smaller and on my google page I actually saw the skull right away. Pretty cool.
I dont really see it...
Another skull thing? No offense but there are a ton of these
Yawn... Sorry but I don't see the illusion. Its a skull and then its a whole bunch of little pictures. Whats the point?
and...how is this an illusion??
