Surreal Beast Illustrations by Iain Macarthur

 

 

Iain Macarthur is a illustrator and graphic designer from Swindon, UK.  His portfolio kind of caught me off guard with the seemingly supernatural portrayals of animals in portrait form.  He beautifully adds feathers and tribal patterned effects onto already  powerful poses of animals with piercing gazes.  Just take a look at the his tiger piece, its almost as if all of the details are distracting from being able to appreciate the whole image.

I can't even imagine what has to be going on in your head when coming up with things like these.  But whatever Iain did to reach this artistic vision sure is pretty damn good.
