Graphic artist turning characters into people

April 24, 2008 in Photos comments 17

Graphic artist "Pixeloo" has taken it upon himself to "untoon" characters from popular video games, movies and tv shows. Started as a fun side project from his work, his endeavours saw practically immediate popularity.

The blog is essentially a repository for Pixeloo's anonymous design exercises, but the first to catch on was Mario. Rendered with alarmingly large eyes and a scraggly complexion, the untooned rendition had a face to make one rethink the "cute corporate mascot" angle.

    Not bad, but now Mario looks like an old pedophile.

      Nope. It's got to be the lips or the ears or the...well, the fact that it's Homer.

    Wow that's just amazing imo. Mario is fairly close to what I'd expect for a plumber who's gone through what he's gone through (burning lava, man eating plants, etc etc). Homer just looks freakin freaky....it's those ears. Jessica Rabbit is just great. The split image shows it best, from that toon look to an almost real look like that is just awesome.

    Aye, J-rabbit is hawt

    Yep, stuff that looks good, or at least non-freaky in toon form, looks downright creepy rendered in real life >_> Homer looks really 'oro?!?!?!' @_@

    I'd like to see this guy do the same thing to anime characters. Both a realistic eyed type (some anime styles have characters with proportionate eye sizes), and oversized eyes.

    He finally did the Homer one.

    I like this guy's expertise at Photoshop, and to apply it to something so amusing. A+
