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.

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.

If Instagram or Twitter posts are not enough, Rinotuna’s fans are welcome to visit the creator’s Patreon and get special access to ​​high-resolution images as well as PSD files to check the process layers. “It's a little messy but I will try to show you how I work,” Rinotuna says. Also, the fans can vote on what the artist draws next.

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.

Great interpretation of the braids as tusks! I love that you switched things up and made it a cheerful young girl instead of a grumpy mustachioed old man

These would all be great video game characters. I especially love the way the fabric mimics the fins!
