Cartoons Come To Life

Photoshoppers have used their skills to create realistic versions of some cherished television cartoon characters. The results are... well... somewhat creepy. Decide for yourself and have a look below:

The first selection comes from Pixeloo, and shows Homer Simpson (The Simpsons), Nintendo's Mario and Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit). Apparently their technique is just putting the realistic textures over the existing cartoon framework.





Next up comes Destination Creation, who has made The Simpsons and The Smurfs "real". A different technique with this one, in that the artist has tried to turn them a lot more humanoid. Still, terrifying results... The artist calls them "Simpsonsoids".




As always, click for a larger image. Does anyone have any thoughts on these nightmarish creations?

Amazing, Homer looks like he's on some sort of drug and the Smurf definately reminds me of someone I know. Mario looks like a pedifile! I know you won't publish this, but its fun writing it.

It's kind of freaky how much Jessica Rabbit looks like a young Angelina Jolie.

the bottom ones are pretty awful. as scary as they are at least the top ones look prefessional.

The others, sure - but are you seriously calling the Jessica Rabbit "nightmarish"?

vague_hit said...

good point fox, the jessica rabbit one is excellent

There are some great ones you linked to Jay. Add Peter Griffin and Krusty to the 'nightmarish' list.

Anon - I definitely see a bit of Angelina Jolie in the Jessica Rabbit now that you mention it.

Are you by any chance an Angelina Jolie fan fox_lee? ;)

There's a lot of Angelina in that jessica rabbit pic; that's who he used for the parts.
