Nothing is sacred.
Miguel Vasquez is a 3D artist based in Ontario, Canada and his fantastic yet terrifying work includes bringing some of our favourite childhood cartoon characters to life as digital models.
Frankly, they are equal parts disturbing and brilliant, illustrating just how strangely designed cartoon characters actually are. So far, his models include Ed, Edd n Eddy, Spongebob, Patrick, Mr Krabs, The ‘Still No Pickles’ Guy and a handsome version of Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants, and my own personal favourite, Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys.
You can find his full collection of work on his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages, which are all well worth losing a few hours to.
In the meantime, here are his best (and most fucked up) designs so far:
Ed, Edd n Eddy
SpongeBob
Patrick Star
Luigi
And last but least, Nigel Thornberry
I need a lie down. This is all too much.
