I am strictly a web designer, no 3-d background but what I am seeing here blows me away. Great job with the collection!
If I could have 1/2 of the talent the artists who made these images have…
Cooooooool!

The witch is quite possibly the one that might show up in my dreams, forcing me into a cold sweat, and the inability to sleep. :D
Great selection. I enjoyed it. Specially the Will Smith image. lol
Need more such characters…
Awesome collection… Thanks for sharing :)
I am guessing that many of these are done with “Blender” or a similar 3D Tool. It would be fun to get some of the source files for them, and play around with changes.
T•E•R•R•I•B•L•E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love these. Would be cool to see how the actual characters are made…maybe a speed video or something. :)
Wow! Now my subconscious has new inspirations to build my nightmares! ;-)
Amazing stuff… Thanks for sharing.
Some of those are freak scary, id love to see that evil witch animated into a short film.
The plumber looks like he’s fixing toiles in post-apocalyptia!
Excellent collection!
These models are so very cool. I wish I had a tenth the creativity that these artists have.
The Patrick Star one: There are some things that you can’t unsee. They’re all amazing, though.

This is very fantastic colleection of 3d cartoon characters.
Interesting work , nicely done.

Thanks Admin
The technical side of these artworks is great. But why do characters always have to be ugly and contorted into bizarre shapes? Can’t someone make some that are beautiful?
