The witch is quite possibly the one that might show up in my dreams, forcing me into a cold sweat, and the inability to sleep. :D
Great selection. I enjoyed it. Specially the Will Smith image. lol
Need more such characters…
Awesome collection… Thanks for sharing :)
I am guessing that many of these are done with “Blender” or a similar 3D Tool. It would be fun to get some of the source files for them, and play around with changes.
T•E•R•R•I•B•L•E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing work there.
I love these. Would be cool to see how the actual characters are made…maybe a speed video or something. :)
Totally amazing!
I`ll share this with our fans and students.
