This time last year I wrote about the wonderful X-Baby themed name badges as designed by Skottie Young for Heroes Con 2010.

This year, a 3D artist has taken inspiration from one of those drawings and turned it into something a bit more... realistic? Vitão (or Vitorugo, aka Victor Hugo) created this excellent rendition of Magneto as a baby, with a little twist of Pixar.

The size of this image doesn't do Vitão's work any justice. There's so much detail! The grain in the wood, the fluffy hairs on the rug, the glistening flecks in his helmet, the freckles on his skin, the tiny white hairs in his lashes & brow. And little Erik ha been stealing toys from the other Marvel boys... just check out the stash of goodies in his toy box!

Please please go check out the full sized image at Vitão's WordPress blog!
