BITER JOHN R. GRIMDARK

BITER JOHN R. — INFECTED

Inspired by 80s pop culture and the world of Dying Light, John R. is our take on the so-called “group hero” — one of those countless infected you meet on every corner.
He’s not a boss. He’s not special.
He’s just that one zombie who keeps getting in your way.
Slow, annoying, always groaning, always coming back for more.
And yet… we kinda love the guy.

Because nothing hits quite like the sound of a perfectly sharpened machete slicing through his skull, right? 😏
Don’t lie — you know exactly what we mean.

Biter John R. is our tribute to those unsung heroes of Harran — the biters that make every mission just a little more… interesting.
Wearing a tattered military coat and a gold chain, he’s a nod to one of the most iconic lone soldiers of 80s pop culture — reimagined through the lens of the Dying Light universe.

Every specimen is individually finished by Shano in his signature Grim Dark Style, using a  mixture of acrylics, UV resins,  Fabrics and chemical patina.
Each piece is unique — a one-of-a-kind collector’s artifact.

The original sculpture was created by Tomasz Radziewicz, based on Techland’s official IP license.
It is his craftsmanship and attention to microscopic detail that make such a realistic finish possible — every pore, fold, and vein brings the infected beauty of the Banshee to life.

Shano draws inspiration from a wide range of artists — from Roman Polański’s cinematic tension, to Zdzisław Beksiński’s haunting magical realism in color, texture, and atmosphere.
His greatest lifelong influence, however, remains Magdalena Abakanowicz, the world-renowned Polish sculptor, whose raw humanism and material truth continue to shape his art.

Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, officially verified by Techland, sculptor Tomasz Radziewicz, and painter Shano.
