Kevin Beckers didn’t start out making characters, which kind of explains why his work feels a bit different straight away, as his roots are in architectural visualisation and product rendering, work where everything has to be clean, precise, and believable, which still runs through what he does now, even as things have loosened up creatively. You can tell he’s spent years around the best 3D modelling software and figuring out what tools actually matter.
These days he’s focused on characters, working under Tycane3D, but he doesn’t really lock himself into one style, and you can feel that across the portfolio, some pieces lean stylised, some edge toward realism, others sit somewhere awkwardly (in a good way) in between, like he’s figuring it out in real time rather than sticking to a formula, and there’s a confidence there that comes from knowing your way around the best rendering software without letting it dictate the outcome.

“This started out as a bit of a nod to the Marvel Rivals art: big, bold shapes, easily readable. Unfortunately, I’m not great at 2D-style textures, so mine turned out a bit less cartoony.”

“I think this is my personal favourite piece because it reminds me of the Rien Poortvliet books that I used to read as a child. They contained beautiful illustrations of gnomes and trolls.”

“The goal here was to make a cool character that was visually dense and challenging, and the design by Jianfeng Xing was definitely that.”

“I was trying to create something of a Disney or Sony-style cool female African warrior. She had to look clean, sharp, and easy to recognise.”
