Edinburgh's streets and famous landmarks taken over by artist's alien CGI figures in dramatic pictures

Kasparas Mikutis, originally from Lithuania, has used his CGI skills to add alien figures to iconic sites and alleyways dotted around the city.

Studying a Masters in creative advertising, the artist said he enjoys working with visual effects and since moving to Edinburgh a couple of months ago, has decided to work his skills into the city’s scenery.

"I started doing daily posts on Instagram earlier this year, and usually I have some kind of series going on with a different theme of artwork,” he said.

"Taking pictures of Edinburgh and editing them was part of the series which I am thinking of continuing on weekly basis now.”

Here are some examples of his work in Edinburgh.
