A Mexican-based artist who goes by the name of Monarobot has been taking famous monster characters and creatures and transforming them by putting his own unique twist.
The account, which has steadily gained more admirers as people continue to discover its work, focuses on a style of art that takes inspiration from the ancient Mayan and Aztec paintings found in the historical region of Mesoamerica.
It has allowed these icons to have a completely new look to them.
Monarobot has released images of icons from Pokemon, Alien, Godzilla, Star Wars, and How to Train Your Dragon, all of them beautiful in their own ways:
