Yo Az's 'Electro Animals' showcases animals in eclectic abstract format.

The [animal illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawmypet) of Yo Az have a metallic sense to them that is normally attributed to computer motherboards and metal works. The Electro Animals that are featured include creatures such as pandas, cats, wolves, tigers and many more. The illustrations also showcase the animals sporting various forms of [crowns and elaborate neck wears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry) -- it's hard to see those details at first, but look closely enough and you'll spot them.

The merger of [geometric shapes and animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prompting-nowhere) proves to be powerful combination of seemingly two contrasting forces. The animals in the illustrations have a robotic distinction to them that makes them even more interesting to look at.
