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!

I think we've found the world's cutest child. And my daughter looks just like Shirley Temple, curls and all.

Perhaps my general hesitancy when it comes to AI informs my opinion, but I found attempts to 'humanize' cartoon characters pretty unconvincing and plainly pointless. And there is already so many of them! How a hypothetical child of two random celebrities that dated a decade ago would look like. Or how historical figures 'really looked like'. I found all these attempts somehow lacking. But hey, that's me, an old geezer afraid of new technology.

This is not a child. It's a computer generated photo. This person doesn't exist.

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.

Flynn Rider From Tangled

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
Final score:
283points
#7
Tiana From The Princess And The Frog
Final score:
274points
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.

Mulan

Mirabel Madrigal From Encanto
Final score:

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!

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

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.

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

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).

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.
