What do you get when you mix artificial intelligence with editing software?
Mind-blowing images, apparently.
Brazilian digital artist Hidreley Leli Dião creates ultra realistic portraits of beloved cartoon characters as well as historical figures.
The magic is in a unique blend of Photoshop, FaceApp, Gradiente and Remini, according to his contributing article on Bored Panda . Using this formula, even The Simpsons characters feel like real people you would pass on the street.
Some of Dião’s latest works include the characters of Disney’s “Encanto,” like:
Mirabel

The face shape! The hair! The smile! He nailed it.

To no one’s surprise, Luisa was highly sought after by fans.

I think the song will change to “Everybody Is Talking About Bruno” after seeing this picture.

A portrait perfect enough for Miss Perfect herself.

It’s like he could hop out of the frame and start shapeshifting in real life. Wow.

As a fellow redhead constantly trying to keep emotions at bay, this one was my personal favorite.

Here is Mirabel’s mother Julieta, giving off major Aunt Voula vibes from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”
And, of course, Abuela Madrigal

I think it’s safe to say even if Dião doesn’t have a magic door like the Madrigal family, he’s got superpower: digital wizardry.
But of course, this is not Dião’s first Disney deep dive. Feast your eyes on some of these:
