18 Pop Culture Characters That You Would Not Want To Mess With

    Cartoons have never looked edgier.

    Artist Dan LuVisi's Popped Culture series takes classic pop culture icons, and reimagines them in darker reincarnations.

    1. Mickey Mouse, The Prince of Darkness.

    2. Mike who's down on his luck.

    3. Buzz Lightyear looking like a total badass.

    4. Goofy, who is anything but.

    5. Yoshi, the demented dinosaur.

    6. Bert and Ernie living life on The Street.

    7. Eve from Wall-E, ready for action.

    8. Street fighter Wreck-It Ralph.

    9. Otto, the Grand Theft Auto getaway driver.

    10. Mafia members Lenny and Carl.

    11. Homer Simpson's final moments.

    12. Kermit, a driver on a rampage.

    13. Fozzie showing Gonzo that this is No Country for Old Men.

    14. Jake exacting sweet revenge on Finn.

    15. Tigger entering a correctional facility.

    16. Frantic Finn.

    17. Reflections of a monster.

    18. Donald Duck, who's ferocity is beyond description.

    I go about characters only if two options are there. I can pull a story from it, or I can take it's cute form, and truly pull the demented out of it--while hopefully keeping the original theme. Otherwise, it just feels like fan-art without substance.
