I've never looked at a Candy Girl and felt scared but this scares me quite a bit... Few more pics at Japanator. Original text from Melo below.Courtesy of Japanator I think there was an older post depicting a real-life person with anime-like facial proportions, but not to the startlingly degree of realism of artist Chris Scarborough If anyone fantasized about a 2D girl coming to life into the 3D world, maybe you should have second thoughts. I know I did. Someone hold me.....I'm scared. *shudder*

It would be better if people go into 2D worlds instead of having 2D come to 3D. All you have to do is just draw them in. :3

(ID #375629) Posted on 2008/11/18 10:39
2D and 3D are different for a reason. 2D non-realistic art is drawn simplified so that an artist can emphasize on the things that matter for the him/her. It is non-realistic, so 2D non-realistic art shouldn't be mapped into the existing equivalent in the 3D world. It will always look awkward/scary because it doesn't look "real"/"normal". What we can take from 2D and apply to to 3D people are the things that are originally modeled from 3D: clothing and until a certain extend hair. And for that we have cosplay. But this does have one good application: scaring people. Imagine that waking you up in the middle of the night.

If it really were anime proportions, the nose would be nearly non-existent. That's obviously the root of the problem; her nose is just too big.

I think the artist behind this... thing... took the 2D source material too literally. I have seen three dimensional realizations of the look done that did not seem at all creepy, such that one could not quite put a finger on why they seemed slightly inhuman. As for candy girls... it seems to be their limp lifelessness that makes them a bit eerie to me.

"If anyone fantasized about a 2D girl coming to life into the 3D world, maybe you should have second thoughts" Yes I have, no, i dont have second thoughts (id imagine them closer to what 3d girls look like in videogames,or similar to what the candy girls look like) and yes, i find this really creepy (waaaay too realistic, its like, the eyes pop out of the girls' heads and dont [in my opinion] imitate 2d anime girls)
