Pokémon Go brought the beloved cartoon characters closer to reality. But not close enough for South Korean illustrator Tamtamdi, who is taking it a step further by redrawing famous Pokémon as humans.

The California-based artist has already drawn 254 Pokémon Gijinka illustrations, giving the beloved characters like Shellder or Snorlax a more realistic look. It usually takes him from 30 min to 1 hour to finish one drawing. And he packs every single one with unique features: "The most important thing I care when I do the gijinka is capturing the first impression of the Pokémon, and then the silhouette and the gesture!" the artist told Bored Panda.
