What do artists Robert DeJesus and Lance Phan have in common? They both turn strangers into awesome characters. However, while DeJesus does anime caricatures , Phan creates portraits that are much more Pixar-like.

From a girl enjoying the beach with her doggo to a guy strumming his guitar, these images look so awesome, you could easily mistaken them for stills of a feature-length animation movie. Scroll down to see the stunning transformations for yourselves and vote for your favorite ones.

P.S. Lance does commissions, so contact him via Instagram or Facebook and who knows, maybe you'll get Pixar-ed too!

The real life model is beautiful but the CG image does not capture that, she looks like a different person of a different race even.

Seriously...WTF is wrong with you IDIOTS who are literally pointing out every little detail that is off, including the MORONS who are pulling the "race" card?!?!? Don't worry, I'll wait.... I'm certain that the artist who created these was NOT in any way trying to offend anyone. But there is always that one idiot, and in this case many idiots, who try and throw race in the mix. Your stupidity is exhausting.

Intent and results are two different things. If I didn't mean to elbow you in the face, it make your nose any less broken. It's whitewashed. Every single one of the artist's renditions of people with east Asian ancestry is whitewashed. It's not every little detail, it's a glaring reoccurrence. YOUR stupidity is damaging.

Ya'll need to stop having a shitstorm! If you actually zoomed in on the real picture you would see her eyes are not that different.

There is no change of the ethnicity of the young lady. In the photo her face is unexposed, which means poorly lighted. The artist simply lightened her face properly correcting the poor exposure.

Why is she changed to white? That color under her eyes makes her look sick and it isn't there in the photo.

This is amazing! Can I reach through the screen and pet the doggo?

Everyone keeps pointing out that people with Asian features look less Asian. You guys know that one of the staples of Pixar animation is the big eyes, right....?

Me thinks there was a wee bit of digital liposuction involved here. I wonder if the subject wanted a more 'Hollywood' look vs her photo.

Hmm, this is the only one that misses the natural beauty of the subject. The other ones enhance the beauty.
