Person Uses Artificial Intelligence To Bring 30 Anime And Cartoon Characters To Life
Interview With AuthorCartoons and anime have been and are a big part of a lot of people's lives. They offer us grand adventures, fun, and exciting plotlines and storylines, unique, driven, and lovable characters. But have you ever wondered what the characters we all know and love would look like if they were realistic?
Shenoa Loewy had the same question. So they decided to put that to the test using artificial intelligence, more specifically an app called Artbreeder.
Shenoa told Bored Panda: "I've had an interest in anime for a very long time, but it was only after finding Artbreeder that the idea of making characters came to mind. I started doing it just for fun and made some pretty rough drafts. Once I got better at making accurate faces and hairstyles, I thought it might be fun to share them with others. This is when I decided to start my Instagram account and later my TikTok.
What really inspires me to make each character is how much I love the shows they come from. I love the different hair colors, styles, designs, and looks that they all have. It's really fun and challenging to try and bring those elements to life in a realistic way."

Shōta Aizawa From My Hero Academia
We got an interview with Shenoa and she told us more about her. She gave us a list of her favorite anime: "My favorite anime are Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and My Hero Academia." We can see the characters from these anime are all over her social media!
Levi From Attack On Titan
Sakura Haruno From Naruto
Shenoa shared how she chooses the characters for the A.I. edits and what her favorite thing about creating these edits is: "I choose the characters based off of what inspires me, mixed with recommendations from my followers. I like making characters I wouldn't normally do. My favorite part about making the edits is the challenge. I like having to figure out how to use the A.I. in new ways every time."

Shenoa told us about the most difficult part of creating these edits: "The most challenging parts are when I choose to work on characters I'm unfamiliar with, as they rarely turn out quite as good."
She also told us about the characters she couldn't do because they were too difficult or the A.I. just didn't want to generate them: "I'm still unable to make an accurate Meliodas from Seven Deadly Sins and Asta from Black Clover. However, I'm still working on them both."

Suki From Avatar: The Last Airbender
Shenoa shares the process of creating them: "The process involves using the A.I. of Artbreeder to generate a portrait using images already in its database. Once this portrait is made, I edit it within Artbreeder, export it to Photoshop, and then add elements like headgear, clothes, and effects."
Dipper Pines From Gravity Falls
Eri From My Hero Academia
"I think programs like Artbreeder that are accessible to the public will only grow and get better. A.I.-generated art is still very new and the applications for it have not yet been fully realized. I see a lot of potential in small, start-up A.I. projects like Artbreeder, as they give anyone the ability to make amazing things," shared Shenoa when asked what she thinks about the future of artificial intelligence.

Kiki From Kiki's Delivery Service
Shenoa tells us more about herself, her life, and her journey: "I'm a college student studying Biology and Literature at UC Santa Cruz. I've always had an interest in art and anime but didn't take the time to develop any skills in editing and online artistry until recently. I began making characters as a hobby during the pandemic, but began to love it so much that I continued until I had cultivated an audience."
Saitama From One Punch Man
Dabi Touya Todoroki From My Hero Academia
Uh… Do you just ignore like all the details that make them who they are or something?
I was going through the comments and it only took 5 till I got to the fatherless children... Humankind is looking bleaker and bleaker..
"Go and explore Artbreeder and use the amazing tools provided by AI developers to make your own ideas come to life!"

Me who knows the site and does this too: th-6078494...59573.jpeg
I LOVE THEM! But how come FairyTale wasn't on here?! Natsu would have been cool! (imo)
:D they did make Fairytale...unless you were talking about making Natsu too Screenshot...be-png.jpg
Load More Replies...I use artbreeder! its fun and easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Some are really well done but how come they did Isabelle and Norman from The Promised Neverland but not Emma or Ray?
All of these were amazing! Unfortunately, it brought up some sad memories along with some of the characters. R.I.P. You will all never be forgot.
I, and many others, use this site, it's fun, but I don't think it's an "instagramable art thing" that you can really claim credit for... xD
THEY REALLY LEFT OUT MY BOY TANJIRO I WANTED TO SEE WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE :,,( you Nezuko, Inosuke, Kenitsu and even one of the butterfly ladies from demon slayer but Tanjiro, THE MAIN CHARACTER gets left out RIP Tanjiro
I really wish that they had some from Ouran High School Host Club or from Toilet Bound Hanako Kun
