This Artist Reimagined Spongebob Characters As Humans (10 Pics)

With 256 episodes and over 20 years of being on air, Spongebob Squarepants is one of the most well-known animated series ever created. Many of us still have fond memories of the series' colorful characters, and they continue to inspire artists even to this day. Just recently, cartoonist Ryan Altounji decided to reimagine some of Spongebob's characters as humans, and the results turned out amazing. Ryan says that he used to regularly watch Spongebob while growing up, and that it helped him develop his own art style. "Something about the diversity of the character designs and the general feel of the show always amazed me, and still does," says the artist. The cartoonist says he was inspired to recreate the characters as humans after rewatching The SpongeBob Movie for the 4th time, and coming up with a special episode that featured the characters as humans. "So without hesitation, I picked up my drawing gear and started illustrating that vision," said Ryan. See how the results turned out in the gallery below! More info: Instagram | Facebook
