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!

Lilo Pelekai From Lilo & Stitch
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.
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.
Joe Gardner From Soul
When it comes to the future characters that I'd like to bring to life, well... there are many and my followers also keep suggesting a lot of other characters that I could do. Recently I've been getting a lot of suggestions on doing Hanna Barbera, and I believe they would make a great challenge!
Raya From Raya And The Last Dragon
Tiana From The Princess And The Frog
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.
Right now I'm working on a new project which I briefly mentioned in my last post. My newest project after this one will probably be the celebrities who passed away too soon, so be on the lookout for that one!
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!
Ursula From The Little Mermaid
Julieta Madrigal From Encanto
she's aged very gracefully :)))) (and by that i mean: p r e t t y y y y . . . )
Violet Parr From The Incredibles
Evil Queen From Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs
Peter Griffin From The Family Guy
Hahaha that's the chin! Though it now resembles a different body part....
Prince Naveen From The Princess And The Frog
He-Man From The Masters Of The Universe
Annabelle From The Conjuring
Stare at the creepy pic and the face is so uneven.

You don't know scary until you watch The Nun! I cant sleep in the dark, I literally get scared of my own shadow sometimes and I'm afraid to take a piss with the door shut... I haven't watched another horror movie since i saw The Nun and i aint planning on it either
I can't watch horror films for the same reason

Why would you do this??? Plus, the REAL Annabelle was a Raggedy Anne doll.
It'd be worse if it was based off the real Annabelle.

Why does it look like someone I'd be friends with? I've got some weird friends
Same here lol she reminds me of my homie-ette Sasha. Could easily be her cousin or something

Jeez...one eye is looking at me, and the other is looking for me. Shudders.
Me: *Wonders how many "She looks like my ex-wife" jokes will be posted under this one.
Why does she look like the older lady in the psych ward that talks really fast and always wants to show you her crayon drawings and stab you
Ahhhhhh 😱 put her back into the doll !! In no way should she ever be in human form 😨 Very awesome though, my favorite AI so far
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh you are evil you caused me nightmares you are the mother of my bad dreams I was in two weeks of shock ever since you and the nun came in unclean demons stay away from me you monster!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now that's face of some had double shift, and found out she'll get paid by weekend.
Oh man, this about made me throw my phone 😅 while noping out of the site.
I don't want to see another Annabelle image for the 3rd time today
Looks like an old neighbor of mine, sweet women but old crack addict and still sweat like no ones buiseness so always looked like dirty but just make up
Neither did I. I’ve never seen the conjuring, but I’ve seen Annabelle before, and it’s just plain creepy.
The Annabelle doll is actually a Raggedy Ann doll--which would've been a creepier choice to make look human-esque lol
Technically--Annabelle is a Raggedy Ann doll--so that would've been a creepier AI to human-esque image lol
Princess Merida From Brave

Hidreley, I follow you on Instagram and I love everything you do. Congratulations on entertaining people with your talent ❤️
Kind of disappointed with some of the comments, I thought they all looked just like the characters and all the models were pretty, but a lot of people pointed out each insignificant way it didn’t look like the character. I thought it was kind of rude since it seems like the person who created this spent time finding models that looked like them. Maybe I’m wrong. Thanks hidreley
these are ai generated and not real models

I'm the strong one. I'm not nervous. I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is! I move mountains, I move churches, and I glow cause' I know what my worth is!
Hmmm.... I think all of those are AI? That's not "talent", people. That's just keywords.
They all look bland, and same-y...because it was all run through the same computer algorithm. There was no artistic input, just typing stuff into an AI program. This is not digital art, it's office work.
Love most of these, but a good few of them are missing key details and some shapes are wrong.
Could you do Luca characters maybe? Or point me to them if you already have?
Now the person who did these needs to make cartoon characters out of some famous faces.
A lot of the comments were very judgemental considering they most likely lack an Underdtanding of how the AI works, what it was fed, how it learned and how the image/art may have been tweaked/edited. But i get it. Very nice post
That's why I prefer "real" art, were some real person used his skills to create a picture. All ai generators can only work because real, handmade, art is fed to them. I now some artists who create wonderful drawings with their talent who really hate this ai stuff since it lessens their craft in a way

The eyes are creepy they keep the same eye size as the cartoon which is way off.
They all don’t even look like them in real life . I mean Li Shang should have a more sigma face
Do you think you could take some fan art of Technoblade and make what his character would look like IRL without the Pig mask?
There have been SOOOO many of these articles. I have to say that all these have been the most legit recreations I've seen. These are actually very very well done. Kudos to the OP!!!
Would have liked to see Pocahontas or even more classic characters. Other than that, great fan
I think they did ok. But I would have changed a lot of stuff. Sadly my favorite Disney characters weren't great and Alice wasn't even in there 🥲
I know that most cartoon characters (and especially Disney characters) have greatly exaggerated eyes and these mostly managed to compensate... but only mostly. They still all have kind of oversized eyes (not impossibly large, just all on the large side instead of sort of averaged).
I Love This It's So Amazingly Accurate! I Wonder What Johan And Peewit From The Old Smurfs Cartoon Would Look Like With Your Talent? Probably Magnificent!!
A lot of these were better than others that I've seen where Homer looks like a demon. I'd like to see more! Some need a lot of work.. like the anime ones, but they're drawn out of proportion, anyway.
Some of the characters were kinda whitewashed (not a lot but the skin was too light on a few)
Ya, some of them. Like that prince from princess and the frog.

The world will always hear my voice on how I was helped by Priest Odibo in winning $786 million dollars in the Powerball Lottery. I am very happy and advise anyone having stress in winning any lottery or having relationship or health problem to contact him on whatsapp through +2348163083041 or email him via templeofpermanenthealings@ gmail. com
A lot of these were very good! Some were a bit off but for the most part, one of the best renditions of this sort that I’ve seen so far
I'd love to see the process of how these are created, do you have any video showing it? I'm very curious about it
Typed a few keywords into an ai and called it art, basically

Oooh, what an awesome exercise!!! I thought the author NAILED some really key things he decided about each one. Really really awesome job!!! I am cringing at the comments though ---- we may all be experts at judging what is "human," but BOY I wish more people learn and use more constructive and descriptive (and less destructive or personally judgemental) critique language!!!
