Kerpy YouTube (2025)

A characterful digital banner created for the content creator @Kerpy, merging painterly realism with absurdist humour. The central figure — a surreal fish-headed soldier — balances parody and drama, transforming a meme-inspired concept into a composition reminiscent of classical war paintings.

Lighting and texture follow baroque conventions, with smoky chiaroscuro contrasting the cartoonish focal point to heighten its narrative irony. The panoramic aspect ratio was tailored for YouTube’s adaptive cropping system, ensuring the focal figure remains legible across desktop and mobile formats.

The result: a banner that blends dark cinematic atmosphere with comedic self-awareness — perfectly encapsulating the channel’s tone of chaotic charm.
