Did you ever wish to have your star moment in a blockbuster? How about an animated hit? Lance Phan is a gifted 3D artist who makes strangers’ childhood dreams come true by transforming them into awesome characters that look like they stepped out from a new Pixar or Disney film.
Lance has an inarguably incredible set of skills, but the magic of his work lies in the details that give animated characters a real and charming personality. His animated portraits perfectly resemble the human subjects and whole fantastic animated worlds around them that could serve as an inspiration for a new movie script.

Previously featured on Bored Panda, the artist returns with more dazzling cartoonizations that have gained him 101k followers on Instagram and countless commission requests on his website.

I mean, these two were practically Pixar characters from the beginning.

Her blouse alone is a work of art and she seems so serene.

Ooh the mom looks so villainous :) she'd be the perfect antagonist for a movie with a wonderful redemption arc- affection for her son

Spot on. Waiting to see their “Golden Anniversary” portrait 50 years from now.

She isn't even smiling, why did he make her so she is?

Kids, it pays to learn skills. This artist's rate is 25 USD/hour. He stated in one comment on Fb that he spends 40-60 hours/picture (that seems absolutely fair to me). So the final cost will be around 1000-1500 USD/pic. If you want higher resolution, more angles or 3D that will be an additional fee (also seems fair). In his gallery I can see 42 portraits at the moment. That's around 42.000 - 63.000 USD. If you multiple the working hours we can say that this amount of money is a yearly salary, right? Kids, it pays to learn skills. :) Side note: Good for him and everyone who can afford his art. No harm feelings or jealousy by me. My only concern is about the World in general. As a nurse, a doctor, a fireman, a teacher etc. will never earn an amount like this. Life is strange. But that's not this artist's fault. It's just my weird thought about this phenomenon.
I'm sorry Agnes, but your info seems to be inaccurate. It's true that Lance said his rate was $25/hour, but the final price would not be 1000-1500 because he would re-used some of his resources from one piece to create another that would significantly reduce the production time. Therefore, the final price would be around 200-250 for a single person picture and 450 - 500 for a couple picture. He does however have an auction program on his website where people some time lay quite some bids, but there are only 2 slots per month.
That can be true. I had only two information by the artist: - his hourly rate (stated on his website), 25 USD - his statement how long does it take to create a picture (stated on Fb), 40-60 hours So I just multiplied the numbers. He also stated that for the more precised fee customers should send the picture so he can estimate the time of his work based on that. I just used "his numbers", I never asked a price offer. But that doesn't mean, you're wrong. Or I'm right. I just did the math, based on the shared info. :)
If the rate is 25.00 an hour, than most nurses, firemen and definitely doctors can and probably do out earn him? 25.00 an hour at 40 hours a week is less than 60k a year?
Ok, if in the USA nurses, firemen etc. can earn 25 USD/hour, I'm happy! I'm from Central-Europe, here the average salary for a nurse is around 3-4 USD/hour... I have a friend, a doctor who's having three jobs to have around 700 USD/month. He's saving lives. Every day. The majority with health care background moved already to Germany, or other western countries to have a normal salary. But that's another story. Still. To create a truly nice picture, using a computer or fighting for a life, curing desease, always using your brain/heart and having an enormous responsibility seems a bit more complicated and risky job. But as I mentioned earlier, I don't think that this artist (or any artist) doesn't deserve a correct compensation. I just don't get the system in general.
Firemen get overtime, as do nurses
Depends on the country where he's living.
@Agnes Pethes, if nurses are not being paid well in Europe, please allow them to come to the US, they are in such demand there that they are willing to pay more than $25/hr easily. Have them send the money back to their families, or bring their families with them, but the US pays that kind of money because the people need those kinds of skills.
it pays to learn engineering, $25 an hour is a shit rate of pay, dont forget tax you pay on that. Learn how to wire a plug and make a shit load more money and have useful life skills

There are basketball and football players that make much more than this artist does, and they provide nothing to society as a whole. An artist who is able to make this kind of money deserves it considering the amount of time it took to get to this point. I know doctors who make 10 to 100 times more money that this, all because they worked for the skills they have, just as this artist did. But no Nurse, or fireman, teacher, soldier or what not will make this kind of money because they are not training rarefied skills to this level.
Oic tq so much for your info.. 😘👍
Love them! They look so much like the photos!
Great work, but too realistic to be Pixar. Why don't they just classify it as CGI?
Yeah they definitely look more like CGI than Pixar style
