Artist Continues To Transform Strangers Into Pixar-Like Cartoons, And The Result Is Pretty Amazing
Did you ever wish to have your star moment in a blockbuster? How about an animated hit? Lance Phan is a gifted digital artist who makes strangers’ childhood dreams come true by transforming them into awesome cartoon 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 character designs perfectly resemble the human subjects and whole fantastic animated worlds around them that could serve as an inspiration for a new movie script. From a walk in the park to a cute relationship and a wedding photoshoot – his digital drawings are as uniquely diverse as people’s lives are.
Previously featured on Bored Panda, the artist returns with more cool drawings that have gained him 101k followers on Instagram and countless commission requests on his website.
Scroll down the page to dive into the amusing world of real-life Pixar animation portrait drawings.

The nose is wrong - it's part of the character of her face - without it, she loses something.

I like the matching, “twisty” hair on merrily wisping along on the right side of her face.

Love the attention to detail : see the Reflection in her eyes? Selfie! Clever.

I love the photo more than the 3d-illustration. There's more character in the photo.

While I adore other pieces of his art, this one isn't very compelling for me. It looks more plain and underdone, as if artist pays less attention to the details, comparing to his other works.

Did they seriously add a cross necklace? She's not even wearing one in the original pic!
A Ghost 7 years ago
I assume that she asked for it. I don't think the artist would have just added it for no reason.

Not as “spot on” as others but maybe this was done much earlier and the artist’s technique has improved.

What is "no" about it? I think I see where you might be coming from with that opinion, but I don't really see it, so could you please explain your comment?

SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE CABBAGE PATCH KID!! Aww i could almost hug her through the screen!! I have a weakness for cute kids. When i am mad all i need is a hug from a little kid and then i'm happy!

This one has the same problem as one of the previous ones. Her smile is just a bit too fake. Her skin also looks sort of plastic. Again, no offense to the creator.
A Ghost 7 years ago
I think that the wide smiles are a struggle for this style. The artist has the mouth shape right but the simplification of the art means that some facial lines have disappeared. I think this also might add to how you saw her skin looking like plastic.

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.

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
