Filip Hodas is a Prague-based 3D artist and the creator of the newest series called Cartoon Fossils which showcases skulls of famous cartoon characters, including Minnie Mouse, Popeye, Tweety, and more. It also features funny zoological names and the year when they first appeared in media. Hodas told in an interview for Bored Panda that he has always loved 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,” the artist said. “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!”
According to him, it wasn’t always easy to come up with a skull that looked real-life so he had to guess a lot of it.
“Obviously, a mouse skull wouldn’t have ears or that arching pointy part defining the eye shape, but without the ears and clearly defined eye shape it just didn’t look like the cartoon at all!”
