Gallery: Artist Reimagines Animal Crossing Characters As People

In before someone makes a comment about furries.

Nook looks like a drunk

They're well made for sure, but I don't like Tom Nook for some reason. He just looks like some sleazy landlord or loan shark (which he is in a sense, but he's not a bad person).

I would say this is a fail.

Thank god she remembered to put some clothes on human Mabel.

I feel like this site became animal crossing life recently

Okay- that was adorable, not gonna lie.

@Zidentia oh honey, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Shhhh. 😎

Sort of reminds me of how I used to make mii characters for my pets. Just a lot more muscular.

I LOVE THIS! (Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean someone needs to make Human Crossing asap) it's a nice take is all. Not sure I'd enter into a property agreement with that Tom Nook mind.

*Artist reimagines Animal Crossing characters as prostitutes.

@AlexOlney Nice reply to him.
I hate people who discredit other peoples good works. But can't do so themselves.

Humanization fanarts weren't invented yesterday, so how newsworthy this is in itself may be up for debate - but far be it from me to complain. Then again, just in case if complaining is obligatory in NL comments these days... Y NO ISABELLE?!!!111👹👹👹

tom nook just looks like a chill, tired guy...not sure where the bad vibes are coming from for y'all

Somehow I’m reminded of Hatoful Boyfriend.

@somebread If he came up to me and said, you can have a house, pay me back whenever, I reckon I would feel like I was taking advantage of the dude lol.

@GrailUK now THAT i understand

I bet they're all trans for some reason. 😆

Here's one of stitches:

I am getting Hotel Dusk vibes from these drawings.

Well, he (the human form) is kind of good looking. So the hot dad comments aren't too far off.

But I would have never imagined a human Nook looking like that. I would have pegged him looking a bit more homely looking and that's being generous, lol.

@Shepdawg1 He just looks laid back/chill to me. Easily the best design there imo.

Okay, when will the fanmade dating sim game with these designs come out?

Slow news day...

I don't really see it, personally. Nook wouldn't be that muscular, especially.

@Shepdawg1 Actually, i find Tom Nook's interpretation as the best of the four.

Beyond creepy

Um no. Dont do this

Poor Tom Nook started doing narcotics it seems

Tom nook one is kinda....hmmm....I can’t get behind it

@AlexOlney no need to be a jerk

@AlexOlney if I am correct one of the rules are no flaming others. Hypocrite.

I'm not an artist (not even self-proclaimed) and I can't draw or paint too well. In my opinion these aren't very good, smart or even worth mentioning. I'd even go so far as to say hardly anyone will get the alleged Animal Crossing connection without being told there's supposed to be one.

There is no way Tom Nook would wear his hair unkempt.

But I love the concept and think some of the designs are quite good. The art isn't amazing - but anyone saying it's 'bad' art is going a bit far I think. This person has skills - and I've seen people love far far worse. Especially manga for some reason - people defend the worse manga I've noticed - and the skill in these design is many, many times better than the majority of manga out there.

@Mr_Kluni there will not be a worse take in this comment section than yours haha

This isn't very good, the artist haven't even captured their personalities.

These are pretty good to be honest, I prefer them to the realistic Smash Bros drawings. It’s got a kinda Stardew Valley vibe to it, which I’m here for.

I like these. All seem great except Nook I thought he would have a beer belly

I would expect a white highlight on Pierce.

Anyway, now do them all as cement mixers.

Never though Tom Nook that young... Or that well fit. I was imagining him more of a middle aged balding, short, guy.

Good artist, really talented. However, I don't agree with her interpretation of them, aside from Mabel.

There are much better reinterpretations of Animal Crossing characters all over Reddit. Why highlight these in particular? Yes, they are well executed from a purely technical standpoint, but as far as capturing the look and spirit of Animal Crossing characters in human form, they miss the mark. For instance, Tom Nook's human form should be chubby and avuncular and not look like a sleazy guy trying to rip you off with a timeshare scam.

@AlexOlney I don't mean to be rude, but by that logic you should stop reviewing games until you contribute to game development in some way. You have called many games bad without being able to "contribute", so why should people need to do it? Yes, his comment was harsh and constructive criticism is better, but asking him that was a mistake of your part and honestly quite ironic, specially because your function on this site is pretty much to do an elaborate criticism despite of not having experience with game development. You also haven't been constructive in some of your reviews, either .

I'm just going to say it. Next to the rumor reporting and hacking/emulation news (which always sets off the community) these are my least favorite news items that you run. Tumblr fan art isn't a new or unique phenomenon and there is nothing newsworthy in this article. Just my opinion. Sorry to be blunt

When are we getting the unofficial romance game??

Yeah this is definitely some weird fanfic stuff.

I’m personally in love with Mabel. Hope he draws more.

@Savino yes i know that. But most times people do that out of hate & other factors..

Well criticism is allowed. However, one needs to be constructive when doing so!! and not without basis, As he had done.

@Rpg-lover People don't "need" to be constructive, but one should ask for that in order to take criticism into account though. The thing is, the "hate and other factors" are assumptions in this case because they aren't mentioned. He just said that they were a fail for him, and that's up for interpretation. Personally, I think that he referred to the artist's interpretation of them and there's no hate in that.

As I pointed out, it's ironic that one of the reviewers of this site felt the need to invalidate his opinion by practically saying "if you can't do it better, don't criticize". I don't see how it doesn't apply to him, considering that I have seen him criticize games and I have never seen him involved in any game development and it would be more important with him since he's a professional. Not only that, but he also asked for a "superior" example so he would need to do better than the actual game he judges in order to not be an hypocrite.

Yes, his comment was harsh and offered no feedback for the artist, but people need to grow a thicker skin. Many problems nowadays simply happen because of that. We are all free to have opinions, as crappy as they are. People need to learn to ignore the ones that offend them and that offer no value to them. If the person can't ignore them, then he's free to argue but he shouldn't try to invalidate it with a flawed logic that works against his own argument.

@Savino Yeah this whole mentality that nobody should be allowed to criticize something like this is just ridiculous. Some people like it, some people don't. We should just respect each others opinions.

Can it be? Did NintendoLife actually feature a fan artist who isn't connected to some other big project or professional media franchise?!

I'm not so arrogant to think it's because of my past comments, but this is awesome!

Come on NL, make this a special type of feature! Maybe a "Fanart Friday" or something like that! Or if not once a week, maybe once a month or something! But there are so many talented and amazing people out there, show some love for them! This is awesome!

Why are they always so unnecessary hot?

@ReaperExTenebris it would be hilarious for me...like a clown in a circus.

@AlexOlney Sure, just have to find my number 2 pencil. Now where is it?
Nice comment Alex

@Rpg-lover
Did I say I couldn't do better? I simply said it was a fail, as in it did not work. I have done plenty of character work in the games and stories we produce. Perhaps you need to get off the troll express.

@NoNoseNosferatu
How would you know? You like many others like to jump on the bash wagon without a shred of information or proof. Honestly NintendoLife is becoming less about games and more about trolling.

@roy130390
Thanks I suppose for the mixed support but people honestly need to get a life. I said it was a fail and as I explained I felt it was wrong. Did I say it was bad? No but people simply jumped on without reason or logic.

I guess this is as good as time as any to be done with this site. It has become really droll in here.

In my head, Tom Nook is at least in his late 40s ^^ so the picture of him confuses me 😆

@Zidentia troll express?? Don't make me laugh. You're the one on troll express not me.
Just make more sense in the future okay.
Rather than trying to be smart with me, you could've done better by only explaining as you already did, than ending it with an asinine comment.

@Savino i understood what you said perfectly.
At the end of the day we're all human beings after all(nothing is perfect).
So things like these are to be expected.

@Zidentia Just to clarify, there wasn't mixed support from my part, it is genuine support. Your comment had nothing bad at all and that the answer they gave you was wrong. I did describe it as harsh but that's not the same as saying that is rude or inappropiate, hence why I replied to the people assuming too much out of a brief comment.

I understand if you don't feel that this site or it's community showed a proper response and conduct. I really wish you the best.

@Savino Art isn't the type of thing that requires an in-depth analysis in order to have an opinion.

@Zidentia the only troll here, is you.

@Zidentia you won’t be missed; bye Felicia.

@RupeeClock Took the words right out of my mouth. Really nailed why I feel like artist re-interpretations can be hit or miss for me.

@roy130390
Yes, I see that after rereading it. Thanks. Just a lot of vitriol on the site today.

@NoNoseNosferatu
Wow your witticism burned me. It means a lot coming from someone who has been here about a month. To be clear I never said you were a troll but your most recent comment can be construed as such. Have an awesome day.

@Silly_G Eh, whatever floats your boat.

@IceEarthGuard : I never expressed an affinity for that.

@Silly_G Well whatever, I just don't see these artworks as "prostitutes."

Tom Nook so handsome

Oh these are cool!!

Suddenly I want to Tom Nook to invite me over for a bit of Nookflix and Chill

Animal Crossing: Greenwich Village Edition

They look good, but I'm tired of artists trying to make things look like humanoids. Like that God of War guy they had here drawing amazing works of art, but, clearly they were all based on human anatomy, rather than anything else. I'd have preferred to see actual artist renditions of Tom Nook and gang, these are just like random people that seem to have nothing in common with animals. They're just humans.

Pretty sure Nook and Mabel should be much older. Bah. One thing I always hate about humanization art is they tend to make everyone young, hip, and conventionally attractive. It's sort of boring.

Meh...Not seeing it.
