Low Poly Animal Concepts by Mat Szulik

Sometimes it seems long gone are the days of kids sitting down and playing with plain wooden toys, trading tangible objects for screens and buttons. Freelance illustrator and 3D artist Mat Szulik balances the two worlds of digital and physical in this wonderful series of conceptual wood toys based on digital polygons. Titled PolyWood v1.0, the set of 8 creatures are all digital, using wood textures mapped to Szulik’s geometric illustrations. I can’t believe how something like this could be created or carved from actual wood, but they’re lovely to look at regardless.
