All around the world, monuments and statues are honoring historical events of the region or political figures that helped shape the world into what it is today. There are some statues for religion, nature, folklore, and even tragedies as well. But how often do we see statues portraying pop-culture figures from our favorite movies, cartoons, books, or TV shows?
French 3D artist Benoit Lapray is well-known for his digital artwork and editing skills. He teamed up with 95 Magenta and Emmanuelle Vonck Lugand to replace statues in the streets of Paris with well-known characters. Digitally, of course. They chose to display characters like Goku from Dragon Ball, Darth Vader from Star Wars, Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, and 10 others. They did a great job—the statues fit in perfectly and it’s easy to imagine taking pictures next to them while traveling.
