]]>This visual development and concept artist is based in Marseille, France, and his works of art are transporting his 240,000 Instagram followers to new worlds every day. Carmes’ inspiration comes from many different places, and they’re often science fiction-based, while still staying rooted in reality.
Even when he’s taking us to futuristic wastelands and depicting scenes that are straight out of this world, there’s still something incredibly raw and human about his work. He enjoys focusing on lone characters because they help him portray scale and proportion and convey the sense of nostalgia that his illustrations wouldn’t be the same without.
“I visualize the scene, in particular when I’m doing research on the subject, prior to working on the illustration. I want people who look at my work to imagine themselves in the setting. A lot of my inspiration comes from the cinema, from photography, and from other artists,” Carmes told Ariane Group.

Gudim enjoyed drawing from a young age, but he didn’t pursue art academically. Following graduation, he started working as an engineer, but something wasn’t clicking even after he changed a few jobs, so he decided to return to drawing.
Artists often deal with a creative block, but Gudim is yet to run into this problem. He doesn’t struggle finding inspiration for his work, and he’s seeing things he could draw on every turn.
“I am not doing anything on purpose. I am not out for a ‘safari’ with a camera on people to see them in their habitat… As soon as I started the ‘Yes, But’ project, I began to notice examples of this format literally everywhere. So I just live and take notes,” he told Bored Panda.

]]>Maka has a unique style that is characterized by the use of vibrant colors and adorning the subject with exaggerated features like lips, ears, and legs.
Maka created several nature-inspired series so far, including a particularly intriguing series called Endless Forest. The works from this series are dedicated to the works of Amos Tutuola. The late Nigerian writer is known for his short stories that were influenced by folk tales of West Africa’s ethnic group Yoruba.
In Endless Forest, Maka tried to bring the spirited animals from Tutuola’s stories to life in her own unique way.
“Nature is the main source of inspiration for me, with all its forms and flow. Plants and animals are often in my illustrations,” Maka shares on her website. “And when I need an interesting hero, I know where to look — the subway. Seriously, it always works! I met all my characters there. If you combine everything together, you get amazing stories.”

]]>This Instagram page was founded by two best friends, who knew each other from high school, and it attracted over 400,000 followers since 2019. The creative duo bonded over a similar sense of humor, and they started creating comics by each other’s side after realizing they share a love for Greek mythology.
The duo mostly focuses on making fun of Greek mythology in their comics, but they’re no strangers to adding pop culture references to the mix, paying homage to everything from Disney movies to Harry Potter and Game of Thrones.
We’ve seen many Greek gods make their way into these comics, from Zeus to Hades, but the three-headed dog Cerberus, known as Cerbie in the comics, is their biggest star.
“At first it was mostly just 1-off jokes, but after a while, we decided to do full stories spreading over multiple comics… We’re also huge dog fans, so Cerbie was a great way to convey our love for dogs!” the duo told Bored Panda.
