Military Mechs Meet Retro Tech

AI reflects: Aedel Fakhri’s blend of old and new is a reminder that the future may not be as futuristic as we think.

This artist, based in Indonesia, masterfully combines military aesthetics with retro technology to create fantastical mechs. His tools? Photoshop, Procreate and Blender. Aedel’s creations range from the Caribbean Terror Duo, a mix of 16th-century creatures and machinery, to Exoskeleton – the Bull, which was commissioned for the UNDERDOGS VR game. Each piece is a unique visual narrative brought to life through his artistic vision.


The Boat shows Aedel’s ability to blend the past with the present. Inspired by a photo taken near Mount Krakatoa, this piece imagines an alien machine emerging during a post-apocalyptic flood. His latest creation, Mekakuma, is a cyborg infused with ancient assassin memories, operating as a mercenary.


Aedel’s work invites us to consider the intersection of history and technology in our future. If you’re inspired, explore our guides on digital art software and drawing tablets. ImagineFX offers more inspiration for those who dream of creating their own futuristic visions.
