One Winged Angel. 🖤
A pleasure meeting Tyler Hoechlin and getting to show him my take on Sephiroth from Final Fantasy.
Tyler wanted to pose like this for the photo because he said it made him look more “professional and engaged”. Clearly taking his signing duties very seriously!
Madam President. 💜✨
A pleasure meeting Mary McDonnell & getting to show her my minimalist take on President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica.
Having Mary sign the artwork, complete with a quote from Roslin, made this one incredibly special. 💜

What is a man? 🧛♂️🩸
My minimalist take on Dracula from Castlevania.
The flowing cape, red and black armour, pointed ears and unmistakable gothic presence made Dracula a perfect character to strip back into the Kradnut style.

One Winged Angel. 🖤
My minimalist take on Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII.
The silver hair, black coat, single wing and legendary Masamune make him one of gaming’s most instantly recognisable villains, and an incredible character to recreate in the Kradnut style.

Born to kill. 🪖
My minimalist take on Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence from Full Metal Jacket.
The shaved head, rifle and that unforgettable barracks scene made Pyle an incredibly memorable character to recreate in the Kradnut style.

The new Captain America. 🛡️❤️
My minimalist take on John Walker, U.S. Agent, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That Colonial uniform and unmistakable presence made Adama a perfect character to strip back into the Kradnut style.
