There's this interesting blog of someone named
pixeloo who has this even more interesting hobby of particular Photoshop montages: he uses snippets of photos from real people and blends them together so as to conceil the "cartoon-ness" of cartoon characters. His victims so far are
Super Mario,
Homer Simpson and
Jessica Rabbit. There's even a
video of the last one in the process. I'm excited to see more.

HOLY MOLY @ the video! (also down below)

Jessica Rabbit Untooned
Saturday, April 19, 2008
So this ended up taking quite a bit longer than the last 2 even though I had expected a pretty easy time with it. I was able to complete the face relatively quickly but the real challenge was everything from her neck down. Trying to piece together parts of a body from multiple photos on top of a highly disproportionate body was pretty difficult. I considered only doing the face but I predicted pitchforks and torches if I chose that route. Creating the sequins took a bit of time too. I recently saw some camera effects in a music video I tried to duplicate too with the streaked brightness which I gave a shot here to add to the whole realism.
Anyway, I recorded the first hour of the creation of this one using Camtasia which includes all the face elements and the hair. It's not the complete process since this ended up taking a few hours longer than anticipated but I think it will help the curious get a general idea of how this was accomplished. It's sped up a bunch and so it only takes 10 minutes to view. I have to edit together some of the footage but once I get that done i'll post it here in a few days. (*UPDATE*: its posted here now)
Since Stewie Griffin was second in the poll, I'll work on him the next time I make an untoon.
*UPDATE* Hey all, I just wanted to clarify a bit. Perhaps "untoon" is the wrong word for this but the exercise here was to take the exact cartoon proportions of Jessica and create her with realistic lighting and textures. As was done with Homer and Mario. I think because of her smooth skin the cartooniness definitely still comes through a lot more than Homer. Here is a side by side of the source image I started with.
Thanks for all the comments and feedback so far!
