Talented artists like Rinotuna are great examples of how powerful creativity really is. Turns out, even the most unexpected random objects like a shower head or a security camera can become human in the form of an anime character.
“I like to create characters inspired by many things in the world,” the illustrator says. “I hope my works could show you the beauty of it.” Well, almost 700K of Rinotuna’s Instagram followers sure seem to think so. Scroll down to see the newest character concepts by this artist, and also check out our previous posts about his work: part 1, part 2.

I’m giving these people nicknames: the young boy is seed, the girl is sunny and the man is stem(see what I did there? S s and s?)
Rinotuna’s characters are specifically in anime style, very popular all around the world. While in Japan, anime describes pretty much any kind of animation, everywhere else it refers to a specific drawing style visible in this artist’s work. The first giveaway feature is the eyes, which are drawn in a way that’s super familiar to any fan of anime.

Handsome face, with white skin and thick eyebrow as a husky should be. I always thought that Siberian Husky is the most handsome dog breed in the world!

If you liked this post, we have a feeling that you might like these other posts that we're about to suggest. Gilbert Legrand uses everyday objects as inspiration for his characters, but in a much different style than you'd expect. Just as Rinotuna likes to breathe life into objects through the graphic medium, artists like Xi Ding specialize in turning actual personalities into cartoons. And Polly turns actual cartoon characters into humans. Enjoy!

I never would have guessed that comparing a woman to a walrus could be so flattering! Very cool.

I was very confused by your comment for a good minute. But as I was exploring the image more, I saw the husky express guy's work badge that he had in the other image, in this one. And it all clicked. You have a good observation :)

These are amazing and Rinotuna is so talented. The colors and lines are very evocative of a hornet. It's interesting because this guy screams "rogue" to me, like he's going to do things his own way and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Yet to me, a hive insect seems disciplined, martial, and like the individual fades away in service of the group. So this piece of art has a little contrast to the reference IMHO. Incredible!

Male hornets usually wander until they find a queen to mate with, I think.

I can't look at a coconut crab without thinking of Tamatoa from Disney's Moana. 🤣

Once upon a time, long ago, a young woman would go to the seaside every morning to sing a lamentation, for she was very poor and her father was sick. Every day, a coconut crab would come up on the beach to listen to her beautiful voice. Finally the crab offered her bountiful riches and a magic cure for her father in exchange for one year of her company. When she agreed, he took her to his realm, a dry cave surrounded by deep waters. By day, she would talk and sing to the crab. Though ugly, he charmed her with his wit. By night, all was dark and the crab became a man. If she could have gone the year without looking upon him at night, his curse would have been broken. But curiosity overtook her, and she lit a candle. She saw... this guy. Both of their hearts broke with the loss of what could have been. The end.
