Famous Cartoon Characters Look Like Modern-Day Grown-Ups In 14 Illustrations By Tati MoonS (New Pics)

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."

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."

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."

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

"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".
