Human-like Homer Is Scarier Than I Thought


From geekology, Remember the human Mario rendering from last week? Well here comes Homer.

This one was a bit more difficult in that i wanted the light to come in mainly from one side with a bit of back light. So all my reference had to be lit from one side. For textures i needed but didn't have this lighting situation, i had to darken or light a bit to give the same effect.

For clarification, these aren't studies of what Homer would look like if he was a real person, its just what a cartoon like Homer would look like if he kept his toon proportions but had realistic texturing and lighting. I find this slightly less disturbing than the Mario one. :) Some might feel he looks too old, keep in mind he was in his 30's 20 years ago when the show first started. ;)

Great job, he looks scary as shit. I do like how you used my penis model for the nose though. Nice touch.

All the proportions look accurate yet something is very, very wrong here. They were unable to capture Homer's personality. He looks unsure of himself.

The more you look at it, the more he looks like a child molester.

Gah! Hideous. The tiny ears are second bad, the teeny tiny iris-pupil combos are worse.
