This Artist Shows How Pop Culture Icons Would Look In Real Life, And It Will Give You Nightmares
When you think about your fondest childhood memories, some of them probably include the friendly cartoon faces that popped up on your TV screen every morning. You probably won't feel the same way after seeing this post.
Australian digital artist Wil Hughes, who studies animation at Griffith University in Brisbane, has a unique talent; he turns beloved, usually family-friendly pop culture icons into nightmarish demons that look like they clawed their way straight out of Hell. If you've never been scared of Homer Simpson, Where's Waldo, or Spongebob before, you will be now - though, let's be honest, we were all a little creeped out by Ronald McDonald to begin with. Through his masterful use of shading, he creates realistic textures that give his horrifying portraits a 3D look.
Though Hughes' work is definitely unsettling, he's developed quite a fan base, and they argue that it's quirky and original. Check it out (at your own risk) below, and get ready to never sleep again.

Mikey tried so hard to look scary... if only he had realized he just had to die, decompose a little bit, come back to life, and apply fake blood to terrify the hell out of people... it couldn't possibly be that hard 👹

But he looks like a bat. And I like bats. So I like him.I wonder if he eats bugs or fruit?
What do you think ?
How they would look in real life?? Bored Panda posts really need to work on their misleading titles...
"for Entertainment purposes only" I think the poster gets to title ......not sure
Some are really gross, im chewing chocolate, almost throw up....
Seriously? You have a really low threshold for vomit-inducing disgust.

Ohh really? I'm sorry I think maybe u look into mirror wveryday and get used to this feeling so u r able to hold it in a higher level :)
Hm. Kind of silly that some of them are looking nearly like they do in the cartoon or whatever they came from and some of them just look like a horror vision and nothing like I would think they would look like in rl. Also I think it would be cool to see it in a more realistic style. The art style reminds me more on an animation style. So, I think mike wazowski looks the same, just as a horror vision. Also I think there are better characters to show a 'realistic' change, like how it is done with homer simpson. Patrick Star or characters like that doesn't suit a realistic vision bc, we know how a seastar looks in real. But, at least I like some of them a lot and like the gloomy and dark touch of them. I just wouldn't call them 'a realistic vision'
