    We asked Mohamed how he came up with the idea to create popular characters dressed up and looking like humans. Here's what the artist replied: "If you are familiar with the ancient Egyptian gods, they were drawn as a human body mixed with an animal head. This is exactly the mix I used but in a modern way."

    "Every artist enjoys the whole creative process, but I think the hardest and most challenging part is deciding to start," Mohamed shared. According to the artist, surprise and wonder are the most common reactions he gets from his followers.

    "For me, making art is like a vacation, it is a relief from the pressures of life."

    After being asked about his upcoming projects, the artist replied that all of his art projects are continuous projects, which means they are constantly updated. "For example, the 'Real Toons' project was started with only 8 characters and now has over 60 characters and will continue to grow."

    Great pic but not sure timid Wallace would have legs that gung-ho. Standing legs akimbo would be quite risqué for him and he'd probably have to have some cheese to settle his nerves.

    The chin looks like some kind of growth or a set of small butt cheeks. I really can't decide.
