Realistic Portraits of Cartoon Video Game Characters: Please Make it Stop!

It all started with Mario:

Then, naturally, came Bowser:

Then we got Pikachu as a mother…:

WTF Pikachu

And now comes along Sonic:

Ok, now, seriously, what the fuck is up with these? Some of the folks over at Destructoid may enjoy these “works of art”, but I just don’t see it. Am I the only one who finds each and every one of these images disturbing? When I first saw the one of Mario I was like “Alright, that’s creepy and kinda funny.” Then I saw it about six more times and just got irritated with it. And now I find these others. To me, they’re all extremely creepy looking, and they ruin the non-creepy, friendly, great perception we have of these characters. Who knows? That could be what they’re going for. It is art. Maybe I just don’t “get it”

  1. I agree with the fact that they’re creepy, but they don’t really irritate me that much. I appreciate the alternate and other-worldly perspective on some of the characters we know and love. This stuff isn’t exactly Da Vinci, but it is mildly interesting.
