"I ain’t afraid of no" Fabrizio Fioretti Ghostbusters illustrations. Well, maybe I would be if I were a few years younger. These CGI re-imaginings of the iconic ghost hunters take the classic 2D characters and re-imagines them into 3D models that even Pixar studios would be proud of.
Fabrizio Fioretti is an Italian 3D artist who currently resides in London and as you can see by the images in the gallery, he’s got talent in excess. All your favorites are back in this collection including Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore and of course Slimer.
Now if only the cast can get it together and come out with one last Ghostbusters movie. I want to see more Bill Murray!
