Meaty Video Game Sculptures

Epic Grinds Creates Detailed Meat Sculptures of Video Game Characters

— October 9, 2013 — Art & Design
Tumblr Blog 'Epic Grinds' uses raw meat to create detailed sculptures of popular video game characters. These sculptures appear to be made at a butcher shop or meat department of a store.

These video game sculptures appear from video games like Pokémon, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. Epic Grinds also creates ships from Star Wars and Star Trek. The actual meat itself seems to be made of ground pork and low-fat ground beef. With amazing sculptures like these, it would make it hard to dismantle and eat. Epic Grinds appears to have both ground the meat and shaped it for some of the rounder areas.

Check out more of the amazing meat sculptures at the Epic Grinds Tumblr blog page. Perhaps even consider sculpting your own projects out of meat.
