2D Girls Come to Life

I've never looked at a Candy Girl and felt scared but this scares me quite a bit...
Few more pics at 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

They all look like dead fish.
Candy Girls never scared me, but then again I like super dollfies so it may be because I like dolls (although never want a candy girl lol) But this, 100^ scary.

Bringing 2d to 3d eliminates the 2d fetish which is no fun !

Ha, Now I have something to show those idiots who say "EWW 3d girls are disgusting, I prefer 2d only" You know whats his name thats no longer here Shugo? I forget his name.
But in All seriousness this is just super creepy.

Shugo, that's right. And I believe Danny's removed him.

But that's a drawing of a 3D person made to look 2D-ish, wouldn't make any sense to use this as an example of an anime girl ^^

Eeegh. Isn't this technically proof of '3D girls being disgusting', though? You'll only give them an ego boost.

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.

Usually things like this creep me out, but strangely enough I don't find it scary, though that candy girl lying in the snow kinda unnerves me a little. I don't find the other scary, Though I don't 100% like them either.

But we seem to forget that FIGURES are in 3D, and they look great! If I think of anime girls appearing in real life it would be closer to the appearance figures than this. lol

This and Candy Girls scary? They're nothing compared to the horrors I've seen. One visual novel my friend showed me has a big guy with really feminine displays. The cruel part is that the video I saw was supposed to be a Wakamoto Norio-san video. Traps, I tell you. --'

I think this one is still a little bit acceptable. I've seen much scarier ones.
But for some reason, candy girls are okay, just because they still don't have a real skin.

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 a 2D girl comes to life, she will have to become proportioned, otherwise nightmares will only come from it.

Besides, it looks like a hybrid from female and male + inhumane all combined !
"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)

the furrowed eyebrows really stop me from thinking she's so creepy that i can't sleep. but what creeps me out is that unkown off camera that could make a person who creates nightmares looks so frightened.
