I agree. It reminds me of his portrayal in the song "The Pink Phantom" by Elton John and the Gorillaz

It is used in various industries, such as animation, gaming, product design, architecture, and engineering. The process typically involves using specialized software to create a virtual model using polygonal shapes, curves, or a combination of both. Once the model is created, it can be rendered with various textures and lighting to give it a realistic look. The final output can be used for animation, visualization, and simulation purposes.

Due to the 3D models that Gabriel creates, his cartoonish caricatures can come to life with the help of a 3D printer. However, the artist mentioned in his Instagram caption once that he runs into difficulties when printing. “It is important to say that it was very difficult to paint this piece, not because of the complexity, but because my house is full of cat hair,” wrote Gabriel.
Neo Evolution - Matrix
Snoop Dogg
Gabriel’s talents have been noticed by big names such as Netflix and Ubisoft, where he did 3D modeling jobs. He also had experience in making collectibles for The Witcher, Stranger Things, and Stan Lee, and one collectible we found online available for purchase is Fluffy from The Fat and the Furious.

Personally I think he's actually very funny. He's managed to create content that is funny but not offensive and passes language barriers

By developing skills in concept art, digital painting, 3D modeling, 3D printing, digital sculpting, painting, character design, traditional art, and stylization, who knows, maybe you would be able to land some gigs with Netflix too.

Would like to have seen some of our own celebrities and characters, but I suppose they may not play to an international audience. Maybe a Sônia Braga or Wagner Moura might be recognizable to non Brazilians.
