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!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
