“Artistically, I’ve been experimenting with various different themes that encourage engagement on social media,” Sillvi told Bored Panda. “I came to the conclusion that people react better to things that they are already familiar with, for example, pre-existing characters, logos, and so on. So, I’ve decided to put my own twist on famous brand character drawings to make them even more unique.”

“Each of the anime drawings took me about two hours to complete and since I have 32 of them, I’ve spent about 64 hours on this project.”

And the artist put a lot of careful consideration into each of the illustrations, delving into the research when doing his soda characters. “While developing my characters, I mostly focused on two elements: the aesthetics of the logo itself and the taste of the soda. I also drank a few of them before drawing their characters.”

When it comes to the cool drawings, Sillvi has a few favorites, but for him, there’s one that he’s most happy with. “I like Barq’s Root Beer the most. I would definitely want to be friends with that guy.”

For those of you who don’t know, Barq’s is an American soft drink. It was created by Edward Barq and bottled since the turn of the 20th century. Owned by the Barq family but bottled by the Coca-Cola Company, it was known as Barq’s Famous Olde Tyme Root Beer until 2012.

This maybe applies to the "bullie" (old VW busses), but the current brand image is vastly different. You could rather show managers cheating on exhaust protocols...

I am not sure how worthy Jeep are of this rugged depiction of the brand. In the UK, they mostly used for the school run. I don't know so much about America, but I am currently reading a novel where a Grand Cherokee SLI is the car of choice of the boss of a Drug cartel.

Seems less like "what if this brand was a character" and more like "character designs incorporating brand logo color schemes". Most of these are WAY off from the company and advertising cultures of their respective brands; only a couple are on-brand.

Fast food series are called "if fast food mascots were super villains". The artist has different names for his series, and they are certainly not brand's image re-imagined as characters.

Although these are very imaginative, they are also basic and largely uninspired...somewhat disappointing in fact because the idea to give visual representation to well known brands in the form of caricature is rather brilliant, but the execution certainly left much to be desired.
