Artist Shows How Cartoon Characters Would Look In Real Life, And It Might Ruin Your Childhood (New Pics)

You might think it would be cool if your favorite cartoon characters stepped out from the screen, you could meet them in person and perhaps even become best friends but you would instantly regret this decision after you see what we’ve prepared. Miguel Vasquez is turning cartoon icons into realistic 3D figures of human scale and proportions while maintaining their characteristics which is both disturbing and weirdly amusing. As much as you love these characters in shows, these creepy renditions will change your perception forever and will probably affect your sleep tonight. 

Bored Panda has previously featured Miguel’s artwork, some of which, specifically the terrifying duo of Spongebob and Patrick Star, have blown up newsfeeds and even made some users cancel the Internet for the day. “It's so awesome seeing the reaction from fans and non fans alike who express their love and disappointment of my renditions. I'm honestly overwhelmed from the amount of attention it has garnered. What was a simple fun Saturday sketch turned out viral in such an instant,” – Miguel wrote on his Instagram post after the unexpected buzz about his work.

After going viral, the artist who is only in his early twenties, continued giving real-life treatment to our much-loved animation characters while giving both goosebumps to audiences and developing his skills to reach his dream of working for a major animation studio.

Miguel’s other works of nightmare fuel include some of our favorite childhood characters such as Courage the Cowardly Dog, Nigel Thornberry of “The Wild Thornberrys”, all three Eds of “Ed, Edd n Eddy”, Luigi of “Super Mario”, Jessica Rabbit, who you actually wouldn’t mind seeing in 3D, and many more. Most of the characters already have low-key odd designs in 2D, just think about the abnormal yellow rounded head of Homer Simpson, freakish Adventure Time’s crew, bizarre Spongebob Squarepants’ universe or Peppa Pig. It’s as if they are asking to be brought to life! He proportionally transitions characters from 2D to three dimensional reality spicing it up with outrageous expressions, fine details and utterly life-like eyes. Miguel’s creations not only require talent and mad skills but countless hours and extreme precision. One of his characters, Eddy from Cartoon Network’s “Ed, Edd n Eddy”, took over seven months to complete!
