“American Cycles” papa…
This stylized 3D model was made for the YouTuber and animator Hunter Hancock, better known as MeatCanyon, and is based on one of his early cult-favorite video sketches, "American Cycles." The character design draws directly from the absurd, grotesque humor that defined Hancock’s early YouTube era, brought to life here as a collectible piece destined for 3D printing.
The model captures the chaotic energy of the original animated sketch, a bearded, sunglasses-wearing figure mid-chug, spilling pepto bismol dramatically down his chest in a moment frozen between mockery and celebration. The exaggerated anatomy, glossy textures, and ironic bravado echo the satirical tone of MeatCanyon’s work, while additional details like the add-on tattoo stickers and custom base ground it in collectible figurine tradition.
The scene is set with intentional references to retro horror and VHS-era ephemera, tying it visually to the lo-fi, nostalgic tone often present in Hancock's aesthetic. Beside the figure sits a branded sticker sheet, reinforcing the parody-meets-pop-art vibe of the final collectible.
This project merges crude comedy and collectible craft, translating the raw humor of "American Cycles" into a tangible, display-ready tribute to MeatCanyon’s distinct animation legacy.
