Jessica Rabbit
So this ended up taking quite a bit longer than the last 2 even though I had expected a pretty easy time with it. I was able to complete the face relatively quickly but the real challenge was everything from her neck down. Trying to piece together parts of a body from multiple photos on top of a highly disproportionate body was pretty difficult. I considered only doing the face but I predicted pitchforks and torches if I chose that route. Creating the sequins took a bit of time too. I recently saw some camera effects in a music video I tried to duplicate too with the streaked brightness which I gave a shot here to add to the whole realism.
Anyway, I recorded the first hour of the creation of this one using Camtasia which includes all the face elements and the hair. It's not the complete process since this ended up taking a few hours longer than anticipated but I think it will help the curious get a general idea of how this was accomplished. It's sped up a bunch and so it only takes 10 minutes to view. I have to edit together some of the footage but once I get that done i'll post it here in a few days. (*UPDATE*: its posted here now)
Since Stewie Griffin was second in the poll, I'll work on him the next time I make an untoon.
*UPDATE* Hey all, I just wanted to clarify a bit. Perhaps "untoon" is the wrong word for this but the exercise here was to take the exact cartoon proportions of Jessica and create her with realistic lighting and textures. As was done with Homer and Mario. I think because of her smooth skin the cartooniness definitely still comes through a lot more than Homer. Here is a side by side of the source image I started with.
Thanks for all the comments and feedback so far!

Keep going I love your work!
Very nice. Looking forward to the stewie!!
Very, very good work! Greatings from Brazil.
Your work is amazing!
Brilliant
Perfect! :)
dang i was hoping she'd be naked
I'd like to see the photos you took elements from to make this. Like you posted after you finished Homer.
Great job.
First of all let me say that your work is fantastic.
If I can criticize a little, I think is a little below of Homer and Mario in terms of quality: the texture of the skin in the face is a little too uniform, an something wrong happened with her earring.
Nonetheless I think is an awesome work, keep it up!
Ok, after I sent my previous comment I wish I didn't.
I know how hard work must have been, and I know the skin of Jessica must be smoother than the skin of Mario or Homer, so please nevermind my criticism. Best regards, and keep up the good work!
Huh, that was surprisingly un-creepy.
Dude, you are my hero.
Can you post the reference image? As you did with Mario/Homer.
Wooooow... really, really nice!
I was thinking, maybe after Stewie, the next one could be Charlie Brown, from Peanuts? That'd be a pretty good challenge as well...
I can't wait until the video is out!
Thank you for Jessica! She is really awesome!
great work!!!
i'm waiting for stewie
amazing! great job!
Love love love what you did with the rim light there and the streaked highlights as you call them. Also I love the smoky quality of the background.
Kudos

Someone is already stealing it. They (very badly) edited out your signature in the corner too.
Very nice work indeed! Can't wait for the untooned Stewie!
P.S.: Hahah, welcome to the Internet, J.Lee :P
amazing
wow, that's pretty good..... those lips......
wow!!! amazing, that's great!!!
Wonderfull... w8ing for Stewie, 'coz I'm fan of FGuy... gratz from Poland !! Waiting 4 your other creations :)
Very good!!!
><
That's very good.
Wow, that's awesome! I have one I'd like to see, Ariel, the little mermaid! :D
That is really amazing! She looks really real...I was expecting something that looked a bit creepy lol. Lovely! I always thought Jessica Rabbit would be wearing a ton more makeup though. lol :P
That is really really kinda disturbing/creepy.
Wow I love your work man! I can't lie and say that there's a bit of scariness in your work but the beauty outshines it. Please don't stop doing your art.
Still looks like a cartoon to me.
Wow that is amazing yet a bit creppy because I think her Eye is a bit too big. Kinda reminds me of Lela from Futurama like she would only have one eye. The Rest of her is Amazing the skin,lips,Dress & the smokey background. You Sir indeed have talent!!!
Love it!
Special request for Europeans: can you do Tintin at some point?
Great Job, very nice, greetings from Azores :D
great job man, you really got something good here. keep it up, and never stop having fun... =)
great job. i would love to see more work. possibly a vegeta from dragonball z seeing how there working on the dragonball z film and vegeta just is mad cool
Hello Jaxpixeloo my name is Undercover Agent i am a contributor for both n4g and rare-elite and i like your art-work u did here very impressive and i have posted them on n4g and Rare-Elite it sure got alot of comments and good rating so i would like to also see meg griffin from family guy ahahahaha would you be able to do her after stewie :)
It's a good work, but I can't see the untooned work. She's like the cartoon but texturized. Sorry.
I just love this! I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea, sort of - I'm looking to "photo-rise" Renoir's "Luncheon of the boating party". I'll link back, of course!
Must say, allthough the work is impressive, she's still a litle to cartoonish. I'd hoped for a more untooned verison. But still, very nice picture.
Still looks like a cartoon, even the textures. At best it could pull off CG. Considering the amount of blog traffic, i'm glad i have ABP on jut to make sure I don't contribute any money to looking at something I couldn't just find on Google.
Find something else to occupy your time with.
Looks like Angelina Jolie doesn't it...sorta?
I thought the textures that came across were great, skin, lips, they all look very lifelike. The hair is amazing, can't wait to see your video for this. I'm not sure how it could be viewed as cartoonish still, since other than the odd proportions it looks pretty much like something you'd see in the pages of a magazine. Impressive.
Laura Prepon (formerly of That 70's Show) would probably make a good Jessica...
OH, and by the way - your work is incredible. Homer does kind of freak me out though... haha.
I love it, its simply amazing! Im so excited about what your gonna next! :)
- Mandy
This is my favorite by far. I love her hair. Wonderful work.
Looks kind of like Donna from "That 70's Show". So I like it
Ohhh... my favorite cartoon sexsymbol looks so pretty... (and so real).Congratulations from spain!!!

I was hoping to see something more... she still looks like a cartoon to me...
Hmmm.. i think that stewie griffin would be nice and fun, but more i would like to see someone from RUGRATS!
You do great work, and would love to see some of the old Cartoons come to life. Bugs and his gang, Or hell even Mickey would be cool to see come to life. Who ever you work for, there not paying you enough!. Keep it up.
Great job again...it's awesome!
I noticed that some people have not been surprised from the final result.
It's normal that the final impact is not the same as Homer and Mario...she is already a human, very close to real person..so there is not so much challange on this character. Everybody wanted so much to see her untooned cause she is really hot...but i imagined the result. Anyway, the work is great as always..and the final result is perfect. I'm curious to see Stewee...and popeye too...this two characters are very funny shape and surely would be really cool untooned! I think this is the real mission of Pixeloo...untooing those character that nobody would imagine untooned !!! I hope to see also a tutorial, or just some tips (in case you don't want to reveal your secrets). See you on the next work.
Mark Papercraft
Urgh, you don't notice at first, but her eye is disgusting!
This is most excellent dude! and Hello from Singapore :)!
-the eeb
Anjelina Jolie or Laura Prepon would make a wonderfull Jessica Rabitt
Stewie would be GREAT! ;)
Stewie from Family Guy, sorry :)
amazing work again!
I love these! And this one is great! I hope something soon you decide to do a full body one of her!
amazing! great job! serious
Awesome. A Disney Princess next. Please....
i may be wrong... but she looks exactly like Angelina... very nice!! future movie?...
Amazing!!! I really liked Homer and Mario but I think that this was your best work!!! Congratulation! Very good!!!

Your work is amazing - the time and effort you put in is really inspirational.
Don't listen to the few douchebags that leave negative comments, they're obviously just extremely jealous of your talent (I'm guessing they can't produce anything creative themselves, so they feel the need to anonymously bash others).
I can't wait to see the video on how you went about creating Jessica! Keep up the great work.
It's beautiful ! Very Beautiful !
Felicitation for this picture and your work.
Une belle réalisation. C'est tout simplement bleffant. Continuez à nous faire découvrir d'autres personnes de dessins animés de cette façon !
Thank you, merci.
@Bientôt, ByE.
Good work I like it a lot!. Saludos!
assuming she was real, I totally would.
I don't get why people are saying she's too cartoonish - isn't he just trying to take the proportions of the characters from the cartoons, but turn them lifelike? And that's what he did.
Thanks SOOOO much..I'm gonna rub one out now :P
thats amazing, do more :)
Can I use this as my wallpaper?
Thanks
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT (again)! I am a mega-fan and look forward to seeing so much more in the future!
Cheers!
Jeez! You're very good at this! Good job! :)
just thought i'd fill you in on this thread dedicated to you well your work on jessica rabbit here, by one of us photographers....

This is really well done, nice one!! <|:-) Can't wait to see maybe the real princess peach!!
You know what, I reckon you should try a Powerpuff girl.
That could be proper spooky... :O
Her eyes are ugly and need more work
Can I just say fantastic work! thanks very much for sharing it with everyone. I like how you demonstrate how exaggerated the features of cartoons are when translated into real life.
Again, great! I hope that the exposure that you are getting (deserved) will lead to new opportunities. I can't wait to see who you do next.
[...I would point people in the direction of three great experiments .... The general thesis is to 'untoon' a cartoon; that is, convert the cartoon image into a more realistic image.]
Awesome work, the smoke in the background is a nice touch.
Dude, this is pretty close to perfect for what you are trying to accomplish. The fact that her skin doesn't look real enough should actually be deliberate. What do you think all that pancake makeup women use for glamour photos is for?
Another great pic. But I have to ask, why are the eyes always so big??
You are setting an awesomely dangerous precedent.
OHMYBALROGNESS!!
AWESOME
amazing!
I think the eyes are big enough
Trabajo simplemente calidad
This is really amazing work. Looks like Angelina Jolie. I guess she'd be perfect if they ever tried to make a live action Roger Rabbit.
Hey! Amazing! You know what to do with PhotoShop huh?
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro!
:)
I can why Roger loved so much, :) cream in coffee, Apple and eye stuff. DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!. so tasty.

i'm still looking forward to popeye (or stewie), i think jessica rabbit is a little too "normal" to be untooned, i mean with homer and mario we got drawings with un-proportioned facial features, just look at homer's eyes or mario's nose, with jessica we only got what... big eyelids? a tiny nose?
don't get me wrong, i think what you did to jessica's drawing was great, its just that, as i said, untooned jessica doesn't have the same charm as homer and mario
You are amazing. Keep it up!
Simply Amazing! Love it - i had seen the mario one without the description, thought it was 3D - not real textures.
Again, amazing!
This looks amazing mate. You are very tallented. Keep it going!
No no, całkiem fajnie :)
Hey, really creative stuff. Here's a suggestion. Some Mike Judge stuff. Not unnecessarily Beavis and Butthead, but moreso King of the Hill or some of the B and B supporting cast. it'd be interesting to see because Judge usually keeps them pretty proportionate so your version would probably be the most humanistic and realistic.
Man...you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a hero for a lot of people!!PLEASE keep your work always!
Hugs and greetings from brazil
PS>Hey..i can´t imagine how you would do GOKU from dragon ball...its bizzarre LOL
Great work!! She's is sooop hot!
This is terrific.
These should be ads for a plastic surgery center; they're topical, fun, and something people would remember.
I enjoy your work very much. Keep it up. Although I think that Mario and Homer were a little better/ more realistic ... I enjoy this as well.
Can't wait to see your next pieces.
[...]Vía pixeloo[...]
http://captchafobia.blogspot.com/2008/04/jessica-rabbit.html
I'd like to see her naked.
This picture is nothing to apologize for, for goodness sake. You'd expect Mario and Homer to have bad skin and stubble, but Jessica has to have perfect skin or a perfect knack with cosmetics.
She is like Olvido Gara (aka Alaska), a mexican singer.
I think it looks very good, it strongly reminds me of Sasha Grey.
Dude,
Jessica Rabbit's image was very good!
In fact, all the images "untooned" are too much!
Congratulations. Greetings of Blog do Arroto, Brazil!
wow, u've done a really fantastic job, i mean, she really looks like a real person. i think the hair and the ear look especially life like. well done you.
oh, ithink mario is really well done too
Fantastic Work! Two suggestions than I do believes what they should give excellent results : Fred Flintstone & the Pink Panther. Congratulations!
She looks similar to Angelina Jolie. at first I thought you'd made a Anime version of her when I saw it at Boing Boing.
Fantastic work, I can't wait to see the process video.
Gee, it looks like I'm still attracted to Jessica in both her "realistic" form as well as her cartoon form. :D Fantastic work!
dude...if youre going to grant a wish, grant it in it's entirety...lets see a FULL Jessica!
great work, very well done.
fingers crossed for Stewie Griffith!
Small boobs...
To small for me.
Ozymandias
Unbelivable! The best yet!
Is it just me, or is there something about this Jessica Rabbit that is reminiscent of actress Rose McGowan. Maybe it's just me. :)
An amazing piece of work. Very picasso. I wonder if he'd have produced work like this if he'd had photoshop?
Brilliant.
She is beautiful- great work...
When can I order the book?
gecklund.com
This is really impressive. Great job ! I wich I could use photoshop this way on my pictures.
FANTASTIC!
I loved Mario and Homer and this one is just awesome!
I love the concept and the execution is flawless!
I can't wait to see more!!!!!
Ahh Jessica Rabbit... my Platonic Love.
Homer Simpson is still my favorite so far and can't wait to see Stewie.
Keep up the good work!
:)
This might be an unreasonable request:
Olive Oil!
I'd love to see Leela from Futurama.
it´s just Angelina Jolie !!!
Love it!
This and the video are so cool! My untoon requests: Ren or Stimpy, a crocodile from Fantasia...and I dare you to do Jiminy Cricket!
MMM SHE IS NOT NAKED
Your work is really beautiful and you're amazingly talented! I'd love to see an un-tooned anime, like Sailor Moon lol. Or Link or Zelda or Princess Toadstool from the Nintendo games. Anyway, thanks for sharing your lovely work!
Amazing, I think this one is the most successful or at least the one that is the least creepy. I like the Mario you did as well but it's kinda a trip to see these cartoon characters in a more photo-real style.
She turned out great man, I imagine your going to get some freelance work out of this.
You seem to be a Photoshop ninja!
...i
not to criticise your work, which is impeccable by the way. but Jessica Rabbit's eyelid and eyebrow are kinda of strange. everything else about her is so perfect but her eyelid keeps grabbing my attention in a negative way. its kind of creepy and distorted. it seems like a totally different style of art than the rest of the picture.
wooow ..is amazing .... 10000000 points, again your pictures containt extreme realism ,,and i don know......life?
Thanks for doing this - Jessica looks terrible as a real woman - I can show my husband this and shut him up about her :)
Really great work!
Great work! I'm looking forward to your next image!
Watching you work in Photoshop is very educational as well. Thank you!
Greatings from Italy
Ariel the Mermaid NEXT!
