For years, there have been various fan-made creations of what classic Disney characters would look like if they were turned into photo-realistic animated versions of themselves. But, for a while, it seemed like Disney would never budge.

Classics, after all, deserve to be what they are — classics. Untouched by modern technology.

As it turns out though, Disney was just bidding their time. With the release of the remake of The Lion King, they went on to prove that there is a place for modernized and realistic versions of the classic characters that most of us grew up watching.

Now, while The Lion King was certainly not the first remake that Disney ever released, it was easily one of the most impactful.

The Lion King is widely considered one of the best animated films of all time. Disney took a huge gamble in trying to create a modernized and realistic version of it.

Thankfully, they succeeded. Now, perhaps more than ever, fans are asking for more.

With modern remakes of Dumbo and Aladdin having already been released, as well as The Little Mermaid, Maleficent and Lady and the Tramp slated to release sooner rather than later, it’s safe to say that fans are going to get exactly what they want.

For Chilean illustrator Fernanda Suarez, that gives her all the more reason to recreate some of Disney’s most iconic characters in her own photorealistic vision.

Be sure to scroll down below this unique and charming take on iconic Disney, as well as gaming characters.

Breath of the Wild was a huge success. There’s just no denying it.

So, it was to no one’s surprise that a sequel was eventually announced to be coming sooner rather than later, with its announcement trailer dropping at E3 2019 last June.

While everyone was busy marveling at the possibility of playing a sequel to arguably one of the greatest game of its generation, some couldn’t help but catch a glimpse at a couple of noteworthy things that was included in the trailer. In particular, the dehydrated corpse, or what looks like the remains, of the series’ main antagonist, Ganon.

Seeing this, artist Nicholas Kole started to wonder what Ganon would look like if he was hydrated. No, not like a spectral ghost or monster, or anything like that. Just a regular old bad guy with a humanoid body.

Being the artist that he was, Nicholas put his creative chops to good use.

Using in-game models and textures as inspiration, as well as the in-game look of the Gerudo — a reclusive race in the Zelda universe made up mostly only of women except for the lone man destined to be their king that’s born every one hundred years — Nicholas created a look fitting of that of an antagonist.
