Artist Reimagines Animals, Insects, Everyday Objects, And Food As Cartoon Characters (38 Pics)
For artists, inspiration can come from anywhere and at any time. Some artists get inspired by reading books, listening to music, or even by looking up other artists whose work they admire dearly. But what if one gets their inspiration from things most of us see every day, whether it would on the internet or real life? This Korean artist who goes by the name “Rinotuna” on all of their social media accounts posts illustrations where they reimagine everyday items and even animals as anime characters, and that’s not even all of it—the artist also gets inspired by things such as food, household items, and even insects.
We collected the best list of the artist’s work and we would like to share the best 38 illustrations the digital artist has done so far. So buckle up and dive in!

for those of you who don't know, the bird is called a blue footed booby
Load More Replies...Ahh... the Blue Footed Booby. Hahahhaaha the fish in a hoodie. HAHAHAHA
Im very interested in birds as you can probably see from my username
Load More Replies...Holy moly... this is... beautiful! Dang Toucan WISHES it really looked like that.
Jelly's are serious business! Got stung by a Man O war a few weeks back, almost as painful as appendicitis.
Why they gotta be so attractive and it is not like u see this kind of person in real life
Ah yes... the great Manta Ray Paladin... male... Valkyrie... I ... I don't know. This just looks amazing. It's the detail. The detail is SO good.
I love this character, Idk why, but I'd like to goof off or work with this dude. he seems fun
Well not getting directly killed. There is one story (the capsizing of Sobral Santos 2 in 1981) but it's possible that there's more to it. People have however lost toes and fingers to piranhas.
Load More Replies...I love the detail of the (I think it's called a bustle? The back of the dress near the waist there) bustle being like the lobster tail.
actually its resemblance (And i'm guessing possible inspiration) was the hindu goddess Kali.
Load More Replies...That's a male bird of paradise. Birds of paradise put on extensive dance routines to attract females.
honestly I did not notice her chest until I read this comment.
Load More Replies...Looks so bada$$ as an anime character... and the bird itself looks hilariously derpy (and yeah, Abhainn is right - the one with the blue plumage is the male)
I like how ur name is Harry Potter, but ur pfp is Kacchan
Load More Replies...Gazami crab! Wow, Animal Crossing is coming in handy with this stuff.
sorry if i disrespect this picture, but in my opinion, doesn't it look like a rejected member of BTS
i still have a lot of respect for this artist and their drawings
Load More Replies...Love it! I personally would have made her an older women though. Not to say this isn’t amazing, blue whales just seem so wise to me. 😁
he attac, he protec, but most importantly, he corn.
Load More Replies...The little corn is a..... KERNEL!!!! Heheeh I'll just see my self out
Imagine the corn soldier waddling into battle, leaving hundreds dead in his wake...
Um, YES, this is soo cool! I want to be this character, even if I'm too tall!
She is wearing a low-slung backpack, and has stuck it between her back and the pack.
Load More Replies...HEY ITS ME :D (this actually looks kinda like me, i love this)
Awww, I just realised that the character design is based on a hummingbird moth. They are such unique little creatures (very docile) and often mistaken for hummingbirds.
live-giving seaweed. somehow she doesn't seem slutty, just wild and beautiful and like she'd kill you if you messed with anyone in her ecosystem.
Load More Replies...I simp... For the shrimp. Okay, not really, but the pun was to good to pass up
he should be holding a cocktail, like the drink, or would that be too gruesome?
hahaha, she's holding a little norovirus, guess the artist had a bad experience.....
Wiiith a ... voodoo doll. Okay, now I worry about the Oysters I tested for experiments...
If you zoom into the image a bit, you can see that it is a strap to overalls or sumthin.. not a headphone cord
U mean the imagination, how the hell u come up with thing like this, like i only can come up with stories but not characters like ^^
Load More Replies...I feel like it looks like something from the mandalorian
yeah i was saying its got Caustic and Bloodhound vibes
Load More Replies...Good, Now everytime i saw a butterfly my mind just imagining a guy wearing hazmat suit who come straight from a nuclear reactor
After I graduated college, I sent a photo of my cap, gown, and degree around a bottle of Mountain Dew *TO* Mountain Dew with the caption "Thank you for helping me get through all-nighters in college!" They then congratulated me and sent me a free "Mtn Dew" t-shirt!
Again, kinda got a horror movie feeling and I love it. Especially what it says on her dress.
And the head on the stick too (not sure if it is a head or not)
Load More Replies...honey... what's that on the end of your stick? i like the vibe of this one~
!!! I love this character. I get such a cool feeling from her, if she were in an anime she would 100% be my favorite side character (usually the best characters are the side ones).
Is it weird that I want to hold the bird? It just looks so soft, and fat.
Abalone don't have a lot of movement either.
Load More Replies...Is it just me or do the legs seem a little too long in proportion to the torso?
extremely just, in awe of your creativity, from that simple....fruit(?) to this character, amazing
Mangosteen!!! :D Delicious but will STAIN like a m**o - do NOT let the juice get on your clothes...
they just look like the cuttlefish (sorry ;w;) just said something really dumb and they're too tired to deal with it's crap so they just humor it
it says it represents her apartment. The picture in the top left
Load More Replies...Love that the clip cord ends as a devil's tail. The details are incredible
Smoking is bad, but does this show people it’s bad or promote it?
These are great. Artist has a really good imagination. Thank you for sharing.
I don't really get it but this artist definitely has talent and creativity and these designs are insanely beautiful. I'm confused but impressed.
i aspire to draw like this by the time i turn 18! i really love art and want to make a career of it.
Same here! Glad to know I'm not the only one, haha
Load More Replies...oh i loved these all! saved a lot for inspiration and coloring references!
