Dennis Carlsson is a Swedish artist who has an array of amazing art work, though he is
most popular for his monstrous cartoon characters, which he creates as digital paintings. Dennis
has the power to take a lovable character from our childhood and transform it into a
living fever dream. If you'd like to follow him, links will be provided in the description.
15. Pikachu From cosplay to painting, Pikachu is a common
pursuit for fans. Dennis shared his version of Pikachu in July 2016, when Pokemon Go was
at it's peak. Captioned "all this talk about pokemon go made me paint this", the
photo has over 11,000 likes and is perhaps one of his most popular cartoon creations.
The body of Pikachu is mostly the same as the original design, but his eyes are a glowing
green surrounded by dark shadows. His claws are longer and sharper than usual, and his
mouth is entirely different. Gaping open the entire length of his torso, his mouth exposes
several sets of sharp teeth and an intricate inner working that is either a very detailed
throat or some type of digestive system. As drool drips from his mouth, Pikachu faces
the audience in a stance that shows he's ready to pounce at any second.
14. Shrek
This giant lovable green ogre came to life on the big screen in 2001. As everyone knows,
princess Fiona is also an ogre and manages to crack open Shrek's sweet side. Though
ogres are usually depicted as monsters that eat ear wax, that somehow doesn't come close
to the portrayal that Dennis created. His version of Shrek, which was posted to his
instagram account in July 2016, has dark hollow eyes, a serious underbite which exposes yellow
teeth, giant arms which drag behind him, and a group of flies buzzing above his head. While
the Shrek created for the Dreamworks film franchise still looks rather friendly and
approachable, this brilliant recreation more accurately conveys how offsetting and nasty
a real ogre would be.
13. Hades The Disney film Hercules, released in 1997,
brings fans into the world of Greek mythology through the use of a story of romance and
heroism. While his character design was dark, it wasn't what you'd expect from the God
of the underworld. Of course, Disney had to play it safe for children coming to view the
movie. Dennis took on the character, and though he stayed close to the Disney depiction, he
managed to display Hades for what he truly is. In this photo, also posted in July 2016,
Hades still has hair made of blue flames, though they're more vibrant and expose his
bald head beneath their glow. Additionally, he has gray, wrinkled skin covered in liver
spots and exposed veins. His lips are thinner and his mouth exposes a set of sharp yellow
teeth. His eyes are still hollow with red and yellow coloring, but the shadows are dramatized
to make his stare less quirky and more soul crushing. Dennis truly had an eye for what
this dark deity needed.
12. Tigger A. A. Milne created Winnie the Pooh, Tigger,
Piglet and various other characters in 1926. Dennis has reimagined several characters from
the franchise including Pooh, Tigger and Piglet to name a few. First on this list though,
is Tigger. The character, obviously based off a Tiger; is charismatic, full of energy,
kind to all, and known for bouncing on his tail while singing catchy light-hearted songs.
Dennis, of course, took this fun character and added his own dark yet brilliant twist.
Tigger has four spider like eyes; wrinkled, red and inflamed skin; massive sharp claws;
and instead of his usual bouncy tail he has several curling tails which resemble tentacles.
Additionally, at the end of each tail is a red, swollen tip which exposes a sharp claw
like horn. The creation which takes characteristics from spiders, scorpions and general monsters,
also has a slightly grin as it looks upward adoringly. Even in this dark recreation, Tigger
is still full of love.
11. Eeyore Also from the world of Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore
is the grey, stuffed donkey. Poor Eeyore is always sad or gloomy. Though he is loved by
his friends, he's in a constant state of "poor me". In general that's pretty
dark for a cartoon character, but nevertheless he's a beloved member of the team. Over
the years he's become strangely popular compared to other characters. In September
2016, Dennis Carlsson posted his reimagined Eeyore. Despite these recreations being so
different from the original designs, and showing a more monstrous side of beloved characters,
Dennis clearly has a vast fan base that not only appreciates but loves his art. In this
photo, Eeyore is covered in giant bumps; has red bags under his droopy eyes; is tattered,
aged and worn all over; and has a huge split in his stomach which exposes an unpleasant
sight.
10. Tweety
This photo of Tweety was posted by Dennis in August 2016, and got over 10,000 likes.
The reimagined little canary is one of his most popular reimaginings. It's hard to
imagine this tiny helpless bird being turned into a disgusting monster, but Dennis proved
fans wrong by providing his signature transformation. In this depiction, Tweety has giant feet with
sharp claws; no feathers on his wings which expose bone and hint at mange; wide red eyes;
sharp teeth and an even sharper beak; and scraggly eyelashes as opposed to his usual
adorable ones. Even with all these features, you can still see the innocent Tweety somewhere
in the wreckage, which is a unique mark of Dennis Carlsson's work.
9. Leonardo The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a group
of 4 turtle brothers, which after being mutated were raised in the sewers and taught the art
of ninjutsu. In this artwork, Leonardo is designed as a vicious mutant thirsty for justice,
or with darker plans in mind. Dennis gave extreme detail to Leo's skin in this image,
which makes it look aged and moist. Leo's eyes are red and intensify his harsh expression.
His mask is skin tight and appears to be tattered from the years past. This creation looks a
lot more like a sewer mutant that the original design, but it also makes Leo look less friendly
and silly.
8. Stitch Lilo and Stitch is an animated Disney film
in which a lonely young girl obtains an alien as a friend. In the film, and years after,
Stitch is known for being an adorable ball of fur with wide precious eyes and a silly
personality. In the depiction created by Dennis, he actually isn't much different. His ears
are covered with holes, and his smile shows a set of needle-like teeth covered in scarlet.
Overall, Stitch is still a small fluffy creature with adorable eyes. The fact that he's holding
a human leg, in which he has taken a bite of, does change the tone though. His long
claws grasp the detached leg as he stares forward at the audience.
7. Pooh Bear Pooh is a chubby little bear, always after
some delicious honey, who adventures through life with his friends. In July 2016, Dennis
shared a different side of Pooh in this digital painting. The little cuddle bear stares forward
with an intense expression; wrinkles surround his bright red eyes; his abnormally wide mouth
exposes sharp, yellow and detailed teeth; Poohs hand is covered in a red substance which
he pulled from a jar labeled "Hunny", clearly the substance dripping from his paw
is not your average honey. His signature red shirt is torn and dirty. In this creation
Pooh gives off a general vibe of "Stay away from me and whatever is in this jar". This
image is another of Dennis's most popular with nearly 11 thousand likes.
6. Minion
The minions made their debut in 2010 when the first Despicable Me film was released.
Most children are easily obsessed with the minions, and even some adults find them adorable.
So obviously, with such a widespread obsession, the minions are constantly being remastered
or edited in fan art. Dennis Carlsson gave it a shot in July 2016 with this truly monstrous
adaptation of a minion. Sporting a usual Minion uniform, and holding a banana, this little
guy doesn't look too bad at first. However, it doesn't take long to notice the coarse
skin, sharp teeth, glowing red eye, and distorted body proportions. Actually, this minion looks
much more like the servant to a villain than the original creations do.
5. Quasimodo
the Hunchback of Notre-Dam was written by Victor Hugo in 1831. The classic tale follows
of an outcast named Quasimodo with a hunchback that lives in a cathedral. Dennis created
a digital painting of Quasi which took nearly 3 hours. This appearance is even more unsettling
than the original. Quasi has speckled, wrinkled and acne prone skin. His eyes are red and
glazed over, as if from age. His severe overbite exposes sparse yellow and crooked teeth. Overall,
poor Quasi is a detailed and grotesque work of art. The strangely sad part is that despite
this even worse depiction, Quasi still has a gentle expression which makes you feel sorry
for him. Though Dennis has uploaded speed paintings of almost all of his work, this
video on Quasimodo is absolutely fascinating. Every little details in Quasi's skin is
shown in the footage, a link to the full video will be in the description.
4. Mickey Mouse
The first character from the mind of Walt Disney, first hit the screen in November 1928
and has since become the mascot for the Disney franchise. When it comes to fanart, Mickey
is a common character that is recreated in various ways. However, the way Dennis reimagined
this friendly mouse is unlike most. Mickey is usually a smiling, dancing, overall sporting
friend of all. In this creative remake, though, he is the exact opposite. He has sharp rotten
teeth, giant claws, wide open red eyes and bubbly rough skin. He also has a bite out
of one of his ears and his clothes and fur is tattered all over. Basically, this Mickey
looks as though he's ridden with mange or rabies and ready to hunt his beloved fans.
3. Sulley
The ironic thing about this artwork is that Dennis took a monster and made it even more
monstrous. Monsters Inc, is a 2001 Disney film and instant classic. Being a Disney movie,
the monster depictions are not bad at all. In fact, Sulley, who is the best monster in
the factory, is just a big fluffy teddy bear which even attracts the name "kitty".
Dennis knows the true form of a monster, and recreated Suelly in October 2016. In his masterpiece,
Sulley has long horns which slightly curl above his head. His eyes are glowing red,
he has a massive mouth with teeth all pulled together with a threatening expression and
growl. This monster is far from a kitty and really embodies what it means to be a monster.
2. Totoro
My Neighbor Totoro is one of the many masterful creations by Ghibli studios. Released in 1988,
the film follows two young girls as they adventure with the spirit of the forest, Totoro - a
large fluffy hamster like creature that can fly. The light-hearted plot and magical artwork
bring this film to life and has attracted fans for decades now. Of course, there's
been rumored lore that Totoro was actually the God of the afterlife which gave this film
a dark undertone for those that rewatched it after reading the rumors. With this unpleasant
story in mind, the transformation created by Dennis is even more off setting. In this
creation, Totoro has inflamed and infected skin in several places, including around his
eyes and on his lower body. His bright red eyes bulge out of his face, and his giant
teeth protrude out of his mouth. Like a rotten cherry on top, he also has what looks like
a boil near his belly, and strings of unidentified yellow goop stretching from the ground. This
speedpainting video is also another great one in the many uploads by Dennis Carlsson.

1. Spongebob
Everyone born after 1995 can probably scream this theme song at the top of their lungs.
Spongebob Squarepants, a living sponge that lives in a Pineapple under the sea, is the
absolutely epitome of innocence, ignorance, eagerness and kindness. In fact, Spongebob
is so kind and ignorant that he doesn't even know his neighbor loathes him. Through
silly adventures and subliminal life lessons, Spongebob has a special place in the heart
of many kids, teens and even adults. He has even marked his territory when it comes to
memes. It seems like every year there's a new spongebob meme that is better than the
last. And with such a simple character design, he's another great example for artists to
recreate. Dennis Carlsson probably wins the award for most upsetting Spongebob recreation
though. The artwork is a masterpiece, but seeing the beloved sponge in such a gross
state almost makes fans a little sad. Spongebob seems to be made of actual sea sponge, which
gives him a coarse body that is aesthetically unappealing. His large eyes are red and glazed
as they bulge out of his head toward the viewer. He basically doesn't have lips so his rotten
teen and raw gums are visible. To tie everything together, Spongebob has pink tentacles sprouting
out of his body in every location. Though Spongebob's innocence was completely ruined
in this creation, it's still a masterpiece that shows a unique and magnificent view of
a beloved character.
