It’s kind of horrifying to look at if we’re being honest.
Hindreley Diao, an artist and contributor to the online magazine Bored Panda decided to create a human-looking version of the popular characters from The Simpsons. He used a combination of Photoshop, FaceApp, Gradiente, and Remini to create these… bizarre (and a bit unsettling) images.
As to how he got up with this idea, Diao writes in a piece for Bored Panda that he was inspired by how cartoonish the proportions and colors are for animated characters. The artist asked the question of what would happen if they became real flesh and blood.
"I've done some similar posts by other authors here on Bored Panda. I wanted to try something out myself, and so I dove into the world of AI. This time, I challenged myself to try to do one on the theme of cartoon characters,” he explained. “In terms of how they all turned out, I'm more and more pleased with the results with each post I make.”
Characters such as Moe Szyslak, Milhouse van Houten, Bart Simpson and Ned Flanders were rendered and put through these applications to look like people we can see in real life.
"I really liked how Moe Szyzlak, Ned Flanders, and Milhouse Van Houten turned out because initially, I thought that the Simpsons drawing style would be very hard to emulate on 'real life' terms, but they are actually very easy to recognize," Diao shared.
