Mar 24 2008Human-like Homer Is Scarier Than I Thought
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.

That's the stuff of nightmares. I think he looks way freakier than the Mario.

Imagine how creepy a Simson family portrait would be.

I think it's freakier than the Mario Renditioin. No live-action Simpson movies...but like I said before...Mario IS Bob Hoskins!!

To writer: read the title "...scarier than I though" (thought perhaps?)

@ 4: I wonder what Kathy Griffin's face looked like if it were real, too.

*whispers* Please...please stop. These hobgoblins need to be stopped. My eyes, my eyes. *sobs*

That is seriously scary

Gah!!! It would have been perfect if not for one thing. He missed the eyebrows. Most Simpsons characters don't have eyebrows but instead bulges that sorta look like eyebrows. This rendition is missing those bulges so Homer's eyes look crazy...oh well...nice try though. I like the texture.
Not that I can do any better anyways <_<

hahahahaha...looks like Paul Giamatti!

Yessss, is so looks like Paul Giamatti, and if they had to cast people for a Simpson's movie, he would get the spot for sure just on looks alone.
