This Brazilian Artist Turns Your Favorite Childhood Heroes And Food Into Creepy Characters (17 Pics)
Yan Blanco is a 24-year-old freelance artist from Sao Paulo, Brazil, who is a pro at turning your favorite childhood heroes into characters you’re more likely to see in horror movies. There’s just something very disturbing about the artist’s style that’s hard to describe – the characters he recreates are creepily human-like, overly high-detailed and… fleshy? I’m pretty sure you’ll understand what I mean when you see some of his works.
In an interview with Bored Panda, the artist said he knew he wanted to work with digital art since he was a kid. During his days at the College of Graphic Design back in 2014, Yan discovered Blender – a computer program used for creating 3D models – and it completely changed his artistic path. After discovering the program, the artist started studying everything he could find about creating 3D art and eventually received a job offer from Techno Image, a Brazilian production house.
So far Yan has recreated many of our favorite characters, as well as various other items, and all of them look incredibly eerie – check out his works in the gallery below!
