This Russian Face App Turns People Into Comic Book Heroes

Russia has a Marvel of its own – the Bubble Comics company. These weird people did a very weird thing: they taught a neural network by feeding it drawings from Russian superhero comics. Here’s my take: it’s so creepy that it’s downright brilliant!

Russian social networks are filled with users’ photos with the so-called BubbleFace filter applied. Some of the pictures are very funny, while some actually end up being really cool. And even if everyone notes the shortcomings of the network, nobody is shy to show off their results on their pages.

This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too.
Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat.
My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.
