There is a fellow whose work I have been following for a little while now, and I thought that I would point people in the direction of three great experiments he has conducted. The general thesis is to 'untoon' a cartoon; that is, convert the cartoon image into a more realistic image.
What I like most is how he demonstrates the exaggerated features of cartoons when translated into 'real life'. This guy does this in his own time and for no (monetary) reward, so I thought that I'd post the links on his website rather than just put up the pictures myself. So, if you are at all interested, please click on through and have a look for yourself.
The three that he has done so far are:
- Mario (from Super Mario Bros);
- Homer Simpson (you know him); and
- Jessica Rabbit (from Who Framed Roger Rabbit).
He has indicated that Stewie Griffin from Family Guy is next on the list, and I for one can wait to see that one.
