He's got a unique style that blends anime, pop culture, and that grunge vibe to create these awesome, expressive characters that feel like they belong in a super cool, fictional world.

Browsing through Ember Sough’s portfolio feels like stepping into a neon-lit arcade. Known online either as Bad Oats or Supervillain, this Nigerian artist (and fashion designer) is truly bad-ass; merging african storytelling with the saturated palettes of with bold inspiration from science fiction. The result? A kaleidoscope of hyper-stylized mecha, futuristic visuals, and eye-catching characteristic designs that practically leap off the screen.

Part of what makes Bad Oat’s portfolio so unique is his background in fashion design. It shows up in the attention to draping, silhouettes, and pattern choices—even when the subject is a mech suit or a high-tech accessory. The fusion of fashion and sci-fi underscores a playful “what if” sensibility, suggesting a future where style, technology, and imagination collide.
