“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.
