LA-based artist Jeff Victor illustrates the evolution of iconic pop culture characters with an 'adorkable' twist. We've previously shared the artist's transformations of popular characters and actors over the years here and here, and now he is back with a spin-off illustration series called Mini Evolution that shows famous characters before and after they went through a change. Whether it's a secret superhero identity, character evolution, or different versions of the same character—you'll surely enjoy a geeky recap of pop culture's finest in Victor's own cute cartoon drawing style.

Before you hop on a nostalgic and entertaining journey through pop culture, here's what the artist told Bored Panda about Mini Evolution:

"Evolution minis are an offshoot of my regular Evolution series, but this time I’m doing a simple before and after format. Sometimes it’s a superhero and their alter ego, and other times, like in the case of Godzilla vs King Kong, it’s showing the contrast between two different versions of the same cartoon characters. These cool drawings are just me having fun, expressing my love of films and comics while stretching my character design muscles."

    After all, the point is that everyone can be what they want to be. It was HER choice to turn into a vamp. If it made her feel stronger, that should be respected.

    They both thought they had to change. They were supposed to be in high school so that's not far fetched. But I don't remember them keeping those looks, right? I'm trying to remember.

    Snow White ended with "Happily Ever After" because in tbe original story "Snow White" sleeps with "Prince Charming's" best friend and he kills her, his best friend, and finally himself. They figured little kids didn't need to know that part.

    Love the theory that the ‘after’ is what she really looked like, but she used magic (and possibly the hearts or blood of young women) to make herself look young. I mean it’s dark and twisted but interesting, and they used that in Tangled.
