# Humanized Anime Characters Artist Tamtamdi Anthropomorphizes Popular Pokémon Monsters By M | Published 2016-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-characters References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/09/artist-liz-west-captures-a-rainbow/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [tamtamdi.deviantart](http://tamtamdi.deviantart.com/) Tamtamdi is a talented artist and creative hailing from South Korea that has reimagined several [popular Pokémon characters as humans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-go-1). The designs showcase the creatures as anthropomorphic, giving the traits and powers of the characters to a human equivalent. The designs are all drawn by hand and feature a distinctive [anime styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork) that is carried throughout. The illustrations creatively transition characteristics seen on the [animal-based characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemongenerator) to the human form by retaining the same styling, attributes and aesthetic traits that are simply tweaked to a different body form. The designs showcase creatures such as the Goldeen seen as a majestic horned princess with fluid, long red hair and a silver dress that mirrors the fish's scales. In contrast, Muk's muddy appearance is reinterpreted as a purple veiled gown on a mysterious sitting figurine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anthropomorphic Art:** Artists can explore anthropomorphic designs, bringing animals to life as human-like characters, offering unique and engaging artistic expressions. - **Anime Styling:** Incorporating anime styling into art and character design can attract fans of the genre and create visually striking and captivating illustrations. - **Creative Character Transformations:** Transforming existing characters into human forms allows artists to showcase their creativity and reimagine beloved characters in new and unexpected ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the trend of anthropomorphic art and anime styling to create unique and marketable products, such as prints, merchandise, and illustrations. - **Animation and Entertainment:** The animation and entertainment industry can explore incorporating anthropomorphic and anime-inspired characters in their productions to attract fans and create visually appealing content. - **Fan Merchandise:** The fan merchandise industry can capitalize on the popularity of anthropomorphic characters and anime styling by creating and selling products that cater to the interests of anime and Pokémon fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Design Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peakychu.md) - [Anime Creature-Inspired Crystalized Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-creatureinspired-crystalized-sculpture.md) - [Elevated Anime-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-pokmon-mosaic-collection.md) - [High-Fashion Anime Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-frgmt-x-pokmon-collection.md) - [Anime-Inspired Lifestyle Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackmilk-1.md) - [Anime-Series Collaborative Art Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-gogh-museum-1.md) - [Plush Anime Monster Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-squishmallows.md) - [Anime-Themed Home Decor Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-and-karimoku.md) - [Opulent Anime Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-4.md)
