I don't know about you, but when I was a kid I would have given just about anything to go on a picnic with Yogi Bear, or sailing with Popeye, or play catch with Charlie Brown. The only problem was, alas... they weren't real. But what if they were?, what would they look like?
The rules for this contest are thus: make a photorealistic image which depicts what a cartoon character would look like if they came to life, as shown in our fun themepost. Do not insert a 2D image into a photo. Do NOT use existing live-action versions of the characters! (Do not, for example, use an image of Scooby-Doo from the movie... instead, create him using a photo of a real Great Dane). Entries using photorealistic images of characters from existing films and TV shows will be disqualified. Also and please, no Muppets (they aren't cartoons) and no superheroes (too many movies for us to patrol, plus it's too easy to just do a face swap).
Please, DO NOT post WIPs in your comments. Post them in the forums after the contest has ended.
Have fun, be creative!, keep it clean, follow the Arena Rules please, and be careful to avoid using cliche. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count! As always, quality is a must. We'll remove poor images no matter how much we like you.
