People apparently do this.

There's being being a weaboo, and then there's doing this:



WHY?!

MadassAlex

Depends how seriously you take it. 

It's pretty creative and I can see the fun in it. 

RedEyedAbyss

Though the results leave something to be desired.

AHR

It's amusing, to me. I don't think they're doing it took look moë, exactly.

At least this girl painted her eyelids. The ones done in photoshop look even freakier

I was wondering if this was a mask or photoshop until I looked at the corners of her (real) eyes and saw they were closed.  But this is serious Uncanny Valley for me.

Well, yeah. Anime characters don't look like human beings to begin with. Of course it's going to be uncanny if people try to look like them.

RedEyedAbyss

So what is it about their bodily features that entices people to FUCK the SHIT out of them when animated, but not in real life?

Vorpy

Because on paper and in anime the humanistic features required for general human function don't exist, but when translated into real life it looks very eerie and unfuckable on some standards because the size of eyes, eyelashes, necks, legs, body shapes, arms, the length and style of hair, the receding of noses and lips/teeth, the positioning of ears and shoulders, and shapes of legs and hands.

^^ That they're not as unattractive as the people in real life who do it helps, plus the fact that huge eyes actually somehow don't look as unnatural on them as they do on real people. Probably helps that the eyes, assuming the anime girl is well-drawn, aren't misplaced like you'll get when painting over the eyelids. And the real-life girls who did this aren't going to be able to use anything more natural than paint, and paint around the eyes isn't attractive.

And as for other features, all I can think of is that the boobs in anime kinda defy gravity anyway, and they aren't fake like the ones that you'll find on almost all of the women who are also that skinny.

Plus, what is it with the girls in those pictures and duckface? That's not going to help anything. :V

I don't think those full body costumes look that weird, though.

Also such features are designed to be drawn, trying to emulate it seriously should produce results like this instead:

AHR

Well, not as weird.

┻━┻ ︵ ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻

If that's supposed to be a response to me, yeah, not as weird as the stuff shown in the OP.

AHR

Mmhmm, yeah.

Although, you know (general you), even emulating any type of animation is going to look very very creepy.

Then how do you explain the body pillows?

DYRE

Because pictures on body pillows aren't real people?

FrodoGoofballCoTV

^, ^^Also, a body pillow isn't a true 3D image, it's two 2D images projected onto a 3D object.

Well yeah, that too.

EDIT: Ninja'd but... I guess my post is applicable to the ninja post too... >.>

There's a kind of moth out there with wing patterns that resemble large eyes, so predators think the moth is always watching them. That's what this reminds me of.

"and pain around the eyes isn't attractive."

Well I would HOPE pain around the eyes doesn't look natural

This is what anime does to you.

Anime - One hell of a drug

nohaynicklibre

Everything with an anime style not on 2D looks creepy as hell to me, whether if it's on real life or just 3D animation,and I don't know why

Icalasari

^ Uncanny valley?

AHR

Even 3-d stuff, like in video games?
