Bored Panda got in touch with the artist to learn more about him and his creative process. Ronald shared that he's been drawing since he was a child with school pencils, then in 2011 he started working with oil paint, which is his favorite medium. In 2019 he explored digital art and is still creating it till this day.
Grinch
Lord Voldemort
He's meant to look inhuman on purpose because he's destroying his soul.
After being asked how Ronald came up with the idea to recreate popular characters, the artist replied that he had seen some challenges on TikTok about applying the perfect face ratio to some singers and so he thought it would be fun to try how it would turn out with cartoon characters.
Mickey Mouse
The hardest part of the creative process for Ronald is getting a good quality end result without losing the essential features of the original character. "The part that I enjoy the most is the process while I am drawing and discovering the new character that is emerging."
Dora The Explorer
Isn't Dora supposed to be a precocious kindergartner? Why does she look like a 30 year old female lead in an action movie.
Squidward
According to Ronald, most people love his work since it's fun and somewhat intriguing to see how each character turns out in the end, "others don't like that the perception they had of their favorite characters changes but maybe later they understand that it was just a challenge and the original characters will continue to remain the same throughout history."
Shaggy Rogers
Shrek
"What I'm most passionate about is the personal satisfaction I feel inside every time I create art, it's something I couldn't explain but it feels like that's where I belong. I also really like how people interact with my work, how it makes them feel and even some feel identified in some way."
Mario
See, don't complain about the Mario Movie model, we could've gotten this. Small favors.
Fred Flintstone
Honestly, the little nose looks way less human to me. Give Fred his nose back!!!
Digital art like the ones featured here takes between 2 to 5 hours for Ronald to create as each part of the face is designed several times and then he chooses the one that fits best. "By the way, the oil paintings that I had previously mentioned as my favorites, those on the other hand take me months and some even more than a year to finish."
Quasimodo
Olaf
Velma Dinkley
Absolutely disgusting. Ableist in the hunchback's case. This should be renamed: how would this cartoon characters look like if they used Instagram filters and were adapted to model beauty standards Edit: this content with this title really disturbs me. So prettier and more caucasian equals more human like? Especially when most of those characters ARE already humans. The artist thought taking away that what made some of those extremely human, their flaws, disability, chubbiness, made them MORE human. When in reality it made them more unrealistic by sometimes adding really problematic and sexist traits. That's what's extremely disgusting about this! Second edit: it's not the artist, it's the writer of the article. The artist just reinvents characters in his own style.
Male characters: Give them a human nose. Female characters: Bimbify them!
Nah, the male characters were also "make them more muscular" and "remove anything not deemed human perfection"

And ableist ... making Quasimodo hot kind of defeats the whole point of the character
