Take a Look at This Cute Plushie-Style 3D Monsters

Check out this collection of cute and scary creatures visualized by Nilian Studios in the style of plushie toys using 3ds Max, Adobe Photoshop, and Nuke.

The collection contains props of a zombie, a werewolf, Medusa Gorgon, Count Dracula, a mummy, and many more frightening characters. But these versions are rather adorable than scary, as they are visualized as little toys and resemble cute cartoon heroes.

The characters look bewildered and confused with their large eyes and friendly faces. The werewolf reads a book, "How to Howl," a monster holds a flower, and the mummy seems to be scared by a beetle. Take a look at some of the renders:

The studio also shared some WIP shots:
