It doesn't take much to make me laugh, and the title image of this Andrew Hou gallery, entitled 'Final Fat-assy,' put a giant grin on my face. With his clever play on the word "fantasy," as well as his illustration of the intimidating video game character Sephiroth as an excessively girthy donut-eater sporting a priceless look on his face, it was practically destiny that I became a fan of this South Korean artist's work.
Humorous illustrations aside, Andrew Hou is one seriously talented man. He currently works as a concept artist of sorts for UDON Entertainment and is a master at imagining characters with exaggerated and often awesome anatomical parts. Whether it's a gigantic pair of robotic arms or a plump round child, Andrew Hou definitely articulates the creative ideas in his mind onto a computer screen with extreme ease.
