What Cartoon Characters Might Look Like in Real Life

Animator Wil Hughes has created a 3D rendered series that imagines what certain cartoon and other pop culture characters might look like in the real world.

Hughes stated that he was inspired by the cartoons of his childhood.

Growing up with Tim Burton and Nick Park I have always been fascinated by animation and the freedom it can provide. Being intrigued by hideous renders in cartoons including Ren and Stimpy and Spongebob Squarepants has inspired me to recreate detailed renders in 3D.
