45Kviews
We think it’s fair to agree that regardless of where we are, most of us have had our fair share of favorite cartoon characters when we were children back in the day. Hundreds of new cartoons are airing every day all around the world, but some of the older ones still hold a special place in our hearts. Some cartoons even go as far as being popular with several generations of people.
Today we’d like to introduce you to Tati MoonS, who is well known for being a self-taught digital artist from Spain. Tati uses her talented hand to turn our favorite cartoon characters into semi-realistic versions of themselves, and that includes famous Disney characters and even characters from Winx Club or Adventure Time.
Bored Panda has previously featured some of MoonS’ works and you can find the first two parts to this series by clicking here, and here.

The Spanish artist whose full name is Tatiana is a fully self-taught artist. On her official website, the digital artist answers the question more in-depth, "Yes I’m self-taught, I’m learning everything from Youtube videos, tutorials to time-lapses, and watching other artists’ artworks, trying to learn how they paint. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't go to art school! It was just not for me."
Vanellope From Wreck-It Ralph
Tatiana's art is really unique, but when it comes to the technical side of things, the digital artist likes to keep it simple. On her website, Tatiana answers her most commonly asked questions. One of them was asking her what kind of mediums she's using for her works.
"I use a Wacom Intuos Art and Paint Tool Sai 2. Brushes are the default ones."
Evil Queen From Snow White
As mentioned previously the artist is fully self-taught when it comes to drawing, but she revealed that what helped her get better at this craft was the fact that she used a lot of references.
"I use references as a guide and never as something I have to copy, but back in the day, I used to do side-by-side paintings (reference on the right, my painting on the left) and use small grids so I made sure my art looked exactly like my reference. That took away lots of freedom so now I hardly do that anymore, but I really recommend the technique if you’re struggling, as it has really helped me."
When it comes to the painting process Tatiana has a routine that she likes to follow.
"I usually sketch with a pen on a notebook whenever I have a new idea. If I like it, then I would take my tablet and start sketching digitally. I just block my idea very roughly and start coloring and shading right after I have something visible. I do not follow any particular order tbh, I just go with the flow if that makes any sense."
Musa From Winx Club
she seems to be a fan of winx cub whatever that is (sry if I offended anyone who loves winx club i just don't know what is is.)
Flora From Winx Club
Princess Bubblegun From Adventure Time

The art style is lovely but.. why tf do so many of them have to be in lingerie or skimpy clothes? .-.
I've seen this artist's work on YouTube before. She seems to be under the impression that most women are covered in tattoos and dress like Las Vegas hookers.
Calling women "hookers" is such a great look, John. Your parents must be proud.

Clutch your pearls harder, honey. A woman is making art of other women in a style she likes, OH NOOO!
Sorry, Sunshine, but I have no pearls to clutch. Take your fake outrage and shove it up your ass.
Oh I'm sooo outraaaged. I'll just stay covered in tattoos and dressed like a "Las Vegas hooker" because it's fun. Meanwhile I'll be enjoying your opinion up my ass, too~
Funniest self-own I've seen in a while. Good job, Skippy.

You really don't know how to have fun, huh? If that's a self own in your book, you're the most boring mf alive hahaha
I've never heard someone say they want another's unwanted opinion up their own ass. That's an.... interesting kink, I suppose.
Bad opinions from fake metalhead prudes? Make it weird. Implies people who dress how I do are all whores? Bet, I'll be the biggest whore out there :)
And you're the dumbest. Run along now, child.
*slowly chews popcorn*
@Emo Sloth literally me whenever i see people fighting online lol. it's like a carwreck, so hard to look away
;) Glad you enjoy the show, it's really fun to troll a guy that has zero reason to be mad that women dress how they like
Enjoy, love. This guy has no real arguments other than "girl look different!! THAT BAD!!"
Sorry you broke out the popcorn for nothing. I'm done. I have better uses for my time than to spend it arguing with idiots.
Cute that you think that.
That's exactly what I was wondering!
Wow, I didnt even notice the clothes. I agree with RoseTheMad...the style is cool, and I sure as heck couldnt to better, but what caught my attention was that the artists renderings all look a bit sunburnt on the face. I can understand blush across the cheekbones to simulate makeup, but these look like they've been under a noon-day sun or drinking heavily of bourbon, scotch, and beer.
Theres a trend right now with a lot of over-blushing actually
Oh,ok. Thank you for responding. I didnt know that was a trending thing.
Yeah, I thought the artist was a guy! Seems more like a male point of view . . .
Because our society is f**ed. Protest it and help "artists" appreciate real beauty. Changing to mona lisa probably removes them from all respectable artists in my mind.
The Winx girls are even skimpier dressed in the originals. What are you really mad about?
Why does it matter? It's the artists personnel style.
Maybe because most of these characters are underage so it's a weird take.
And because these aren't her characters. These are little childrens' icons!
But someone is creating art the way they like to, and posting it on a place for people to see. It is up to the artist to decide what they think is appropriate, and it is up to us to let them do what they want to do, as an artist. If it was offensive, that would be a different story, but it's not.
But art is literally put out there for the consumption of others. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. On both sides.
Literally only 3 out of the 14 they showed were wearing lingerie, and wtf is wrong with that??? They are all just pretty woman and if you have a problem with that than I would say it's because you're jealous. It's just art.
This is what the artist wanted to do, its her artwork. If she wants to put them in lingerie then let her.
They are just pornified versions of cartoon characters...
Agreed i am literally sick to my stomach over the tainting of century old art in favor of sluttified instagram versions. Wish i was dead by the end of the 90s right now. I was born in the WRONG era it seems
I can appreciate your point, but I didn't see any century-old art here. ;-)
Jess may be referring to the early Disney characters.
S**t shame a little harder, honey. I'm sure you'll get picked eventually.
Well I wouldn't go that far. Sure it is a pin-up girl version of the cartoon, but you would have to go a lot further to consider this "porn", unless you are living in 1954
Well honestly she did say that she wished she was dead by the end of the 90s, and that means she wants to have been alive in the 50s probably. So if the shoe fits...
Exactly!!!
"More realistic"? Now we know where those massively self-editing Instagramers got their ideas of female beauty -- hypersexualized, impossible ideals as created by this artist, and countless other image makers. Of course, getting constantly exposed to these types of images can make young women insecure about their own appearance. Hence those freaky alien "selfies".
Yes. So much this.
