Chris Panda XRay Comics
Have you ever wondered what the world looks like to Superman with his X-ray vision? French artists Chris Panda did and illustrated a series of popular characters under X-ray so you can see their skeletal structure. Seeing the whole skeleton of these characters adds another depth to them, and some of them are almost surprising. It would be interesting to see a whole comic book illustrated in this style.I love the graphic novel feeling that adding the X-ray effect gives to even some of the most cutesy Disney characters. There is a lot of creativity involved in creating a skeleton for non-naturally occurring charters like Leo from the Ninja Turtles and Smurfette. Also, I completely forgot Ariel was really part fish until seeing this illustration; I always think of the human part of her and forget that she has a fish tail. Panda also has an impressive knowledge of the skeleton to be able to pull these illustrations off. Illustrating all of those bones and knowing where they should be isn't an easy task. Overall, a very interesting take on characters we see all of the time.Chris Panda is an comic book artist, illustrator, and graphic designer from France.
