Filip Hodas confessed that “after I finished the 12-image series Pop Culture Dystopia, I was quite burned out and wanted something different.” Then Filip produced a series of colorful animal skull compositions and got on board the trend of 3D artists who create realistic cartoon characters. As a result, “I mixed those ingredients and this is what came out of it.”

It turns out that the Prague-based artist has always been into skulls. “I was really into dinosaurs and their fossils as a little kid. When I got older, I thought skulls were very badass, so I would draw them often.” When he started with 3D illustration, there was no question of what object to draw first. “Skulls were among the first things that I had at least some idea of how to sculpt. The first one I was proud of looks terrible in retrospect!”
