This Artist Is Making Our Dreams Come True By Transforming People Into Pixar Characters

Lance Phan is a digital artist who can turn your average selfie, cute couple pic, or basically any photo you'd like into an impressive Pixar character with shockingly similar characteristics.

If you've ever wanted to see what you'd look like if Pixar made a movie about you, Lance is your go-to artist.

This design makes me realize that Pixar should create a dapper character like this with an incredible mustache and suspenders.

Aren't the details wildly impressive? One look at this, and I'm already wondering how I can get one made of myself.

If you happen to be wondering the same thing, Lance has all the information about getting your own custom art listed on his website.

He does get a high volume of requests, so he decides to pick randomly from the submissions he receives.

If you're lucky enough to be chosen for a commission, Lance will contact you.

He charges $25 an hour up to 25 hours per customer. He'll take a look at the image and then give you a rough estimate of how many hours he thinks it will take to complete.

There are certain conditions your photo must meet before Lance gets to work.

For example, your photo must be your own property, and everybody in the image must give their consent to be drawn and posted online.

If there are any logos or brands in your photo, they'll be removed from the drawing.

The amount of detail that goes into the drawing is shocking.

He explained that for this image, he attempted to draw 150,000 strands of hair, just like an average blonde head has.

We can't stop staring at the incredible resemblance between the photographs and the drawings.

Based on the detail alone, it's no wonder that they can take up to 25 hours to complete.

Doesn't this girl look like she could appear in the next Inside Out movie?

The hair just looks so lifelike, and even the reflection on the lenses is seriously perfect.

He puts a lot of effort and thought into each piece.

He explains that while creating this image, the sunglasses were hiding the eyes, and it took away the emotional value of the artwork. So he chose to make them transparent instead.

If you're wondering how long a complete drawing actually takes, he says that this specific piece took roughly eight hours to do.

I can't do anything for eight hours. Not even sleep. This is blowing my mind!

What's great about getting your photo done by Lance is that he can change any detail.

Instagram | @lance_phan

For this image, he changed the background, and subsequently, he changed the light direction to match the new environment.

You can even have your pet turned into a Pixar character!

And anybody who has ever attempted to draw animals, no matter what medium, knows that it can be quite a challenge.

Lance also suggests submitting multiple photos for reference.

This way, there's no doubting what the subject might look like from a different perspective or angle. The similarities between the two just go to show that the more photos, the better!

As of right now, Lance says that he's limiting the number of people in the photograph to just two.

Otherwise, it could take well over 25 hours to complete the artwork.

He also stipulates that he won't draw any photographs that have babies or exotic animals.

"To make the work time and price more affordable, I made reusable base meshes for adults, dogs, and cats. Without the base mesh, a sculpture of a baby will take forever," he explained.

Of course, he can work with children — just not babies!

Like this one, where he did an awesome job creating what is sure to be a fantastic keepsake for this family when this child grows up.

He also added that he probably won't accept your photo if it contains large amounts of smoke, fire, or liquid.

So keep that in mind if you're thinking about submitting a request!

He even managed to Pixar-ify food!

Instagram | @lance_phan

Food can be notoriously difficult, so it makes sense that he simplified it a little bit, but honestly, I'd eat this in a heartbeat!

This could be an amazing way to honor your special moments.

Instagram | @lance_phan

Like this gorgeous couple honoring their wedding day with a creation that is unique to them and totally stunning.

He can even put you in front of a new background if that's what you want!

Instagram | @lance_phan

Here he put this beautiful girl in front of a stunning outdoor shot, rather than in front of a white wall like she really was in the picture.

This one looks like it could be a poster for a movie!

Instagram | @lance_phan

Obviously, Lance has an incredible gift that he's taken the time to really master. I'd consider myself lucky if I got chosen for one of these pieces!

Honestly, we can't get over how incredibly talented Lance is, and we're surprised Pixar hasn't scooped him up yet!
