I Used AI To See What These 30 Popular Cartoon Characters Would Look Like In Real Life, And Here’s The Result (New Pics)
Just like in my last post, in this one too, I have done my best to compile a new and prolonged list featuring many more of the most popular cartoon characters ever created. I’ll do my best to show you what characters like Homer Simpson, Flynn Rider, Lilo Pelekai, and many more would look like if they were to magically turn into humans (one could wish, right?)!
Thanks to all of you, the first part of this project went viral, making my Instagram account go from 5k to 197k followers in over a month or so. Interviews on radio, television, and online platforms have become sort of a routine these last few days and I’m really very grateful for everything.
With all of that said, enjoy part 2 of the project and I’ll see you in the comments down below!

When it comes to editing one image from this exact series, it takes me an average of two and a half hours. But also it's worth noting that a lot also depends on the character I'm doing! Some are easier and others are harder so its pretty situational if you ask me. We will see how well it's gonna go in the future as well.

If you ever want to know if a picture of someone is AI, look at their pupils. AI can't make two pupils look the same, and they'll typically have rough edges.

😂Hey some models--- be they runway or magazinephotoshoot, live lives where they might as well be living behind a wall. And if not, the clothing designers, hair & makeup team, etc. want them to look like they do. Basically, the chique homeless look or behind-wall-dapper-dweller look 😂😅

In my last post, I'm pretty sure I mentioned which characters were my favorite ones to make. Given that it's a sequel, I decided to continue with the tradition! When I was working on this post, my favorite characters to edit were all of the characters from the Simpsons and the He-man... but if I'm being honest, I like them all, haha.

However, at times when I'm working on all of these characters, it gets pretty tiring, especially when I'm really set on making sure the character would look like a modern-day person while also retaining their key features. It all pays off in the end, since people seem to be enjoying it and it makes me happy in return.

After I went viral all I can say is that I feel accomplished. My life changed after that. I managed to move a lot of people. It's so exciting to know that I can make people happy with my work. It certainly fueled my inspiration!

Those could be attributed to the animation as signifies for American people that he's a hero. But he's Chinese. And while they CAN have a wide, square jaw, they generally have sharper jaws and finer features than most other races.

As a POC who is fair skinned, and has a father, brother, daughter, uncles, nieces and cousins who run the gambit color and hair texture wise, y'all are ignorant. Have you ever met an african American? I'm sure if you met me you would think I was Caucasian or some other ethnicity, but I am black my father is black, I self-identify as black, and while my mom is Caucasian that does not take away from my experience as a black woman, nor my daughter's, nor my nieces'.

It's a phenomenon known as Uncanny Valley. Long story short: Humans do not like things that resemble humans but aren't. Science doesn't quite know why but theories suggest it goes aaaalll the way back to when Homosapiens (us) hunted and killed off all the other species of human (homoerectus, neanderthal, homohabilis etc) There used to be 9 different kinds of "human" until we dominated and decimated the planet of them. Recent investigations prove that most other hominids on the planet died from war-like wounds and not natural selection like we originally thought. We killed them all. Another theory is that it's because we know it appears human but obviously doesn't have "life" in it so it could also be subconsciously triggering the same parts of your brain that are triggered when you see a dead person. Either way, scientists mostly agree it's an evolutionary trait we developed 1000s of years ago but we still don't have a clear answer as to why.

Disney has a habit of baby-face. On Merida, because she has a round face because she is Scottish, it gives more of an oval because babyface also tries to round your face out.
