Ursula was designed after Divine, the drag queen. This is disgusting. This looks nothing like Ursula

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.

    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.

    He looks like a mafioso, it's the cold eyes and the teeth

    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."

    Isn't Dora supposed to be a precocious kindergartner? Why does she look like a 30 year old female lead in an action movie.

    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."

    "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."

    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."

    So making someone more human-like means getting rid of their disabilities? Got it.

    Did they honestly just get rid of Quasimodo's disability and make him "handsome"? Yikes!

    Because a hero MUST be "handsome" according to society's norms. Worse - it destroys the entire point of the book. This poor man has been purposefully deformed, tortured, and treating like trash - even his name is a cruel joke. Yet he demonstrates more kindness and empathy than the "normal people around him. HE is the hero of the book, NOT Esmeralda. His deformity is at the center of the plot, not some minor plot theme. The name is "the Hunchback of Notre Dame", not "the Beautiful Gypsy Dancer of Paris".

    That is not making him more human like, this is just beautifying him. I'm disgusted.

    How does this have a single upvote? There are humans with hunchbacks, humans with not perfectly formed faces, and humans that are not classically attractive. Eff this

    I love that everyone's extra upset about them getting rid of his disabilities. Bro, they're using a template. They are literally tracing a face, the only thing that remotely makes it "Quasimodo" is skin tone and adding his hair

    This is almost the worst of the lot. Velma is super smart and sees that as her defining character. This "artist" believes that "smart" isn't important, what's important is sexualizing her.
