Graphic designer and illustrator Arinya created a series of anime X-Men characters that reflect the Sanrio brand. Sanrio is a Japanese company that creates beloved characters such as 'Hello Kitty.'
Arinya pulled aspects from characters such as Hello Kitty and combined those aspects with powerful superheroes. The result of the series is a collection of adorable anime X-men cartoons. Some of the mashed-up character combinations include "Cyclops and Jean Grey, Dear Daniel and Hello Kitty or Wolverine and Nyago."
The cute illustrations show a tougher side to the Sanrio characters, while simultaneously providing a softer side to the heroic X-Men. All the images are now available for purchase in the print form at 'Redbubble' and T-shirts will be sold at 'TeePublic.'
