Stefani Rennee is a Brazilian artist who sure knows how to paint badass portraits. But rather than use his skills to illustrate actual people in a hyperrealistic manner, Rennee opts instead to bring fictional characters from the Marvel and DC Comics universe into the realm of reality with true-to-life paintings.
What I admire most about Stefani Rennee’s art is that he doesn’t sugarcoat anything. The wrinkles, the cuts, the bruises, the scars -- they’re all present in each superhero-inspired piece. This enhances the authenticity of his character depictions as regular comic illustrations only show the glory without any of the guts that would hypothetically be involved in the profession of crime fighting.
A few recognizable faces in this Stefani Rennee collection of illustrations include Spiderman, Magneto, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Flash, Superman and Batman.
