Evgeny Lukovenko, an illustrator and digital artist from Khabarovsk, Russia, recently released a project that shows 30 different iconic movie characters as digital recreations.
The portraits of each are incredibly accurate and span a variety of different genres, making the pieces instantly recognizable to any who have seen the original films. In his depictions of iconic movie characters, Evgeny Lukovenko includes Michael Fassbender in 'Macbeth,' Ryan Gosling is 'Only God Forgives,' Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 'Brick,' Jake Gyllenhaal in 'Nightcrawler,' Gwyneth Paltrow in 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' James McAvoy in 'Filth,' Joaquin Phoenix in 'Her' and many more.
In addition to recreating some of the most recognized characters in contemporary film, Evgeny Lukovenko tributes television series like 'Penny Dreadful' and 'Ray Donovan.' Though digitally created, each of the portraits looks as though it was carefully painted by hand.
