Artist Reimagined Pokemon Characters As Monsters, And It Will Give You Nightmares

Published 7 years ago

Do you still have fond memories of the Pokemon characters from your childhood? Well, prepare to switch them with these nightmarish creatures released from the imagination of David Szilagyi, who turned beloved characters into hellish monsters that are awesome on a whole different level.

David used to be a concept artist for the video game industry, but at some point, he figured that it’s not where his heart lies. So he gave all that up for his true passion: “creating surreal nightmare fuel, and crafting worlds and stories based on them.”

“I was raised on Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark, Beksinski, H.R. Giger, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, H.P. Lovecraft, Guillermo Del Toro, Pokemon, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dead Space, F.E.A.R., Slender, Silent Hill, Akira, The Guyver, among many other wonderful classics,” David writes on Patreon. “I love the worlds and lore that these experiences provide me, and I’m here to give that experience back to the world, one horrific image at a time.”
