This has been floating around the Internet for a couple of days now, but for those who haven’t seen it, here’s a brief description.

Dave Devries takes sketches of monsters drawn by children purely from their imagination and renders them realistically giving them a truly devilish look. His collection of drawings and paintings form a 48-page book “The Monster Engine”.

Devries would project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, and then faithfully trace each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, he then paint the image as realistically as he can using primarily acrylic, airbrush, and colored pencil.

Here are a few of the pictures. I think they’re fabulous. You can find more here and here.
