Random Thoughts - Anime Me

A recent trend on social media is to have one's selfies being digitally transformed into anime renditions of oneself. For those who are not familiar with the term anime, it is basically animations of hand or digitally drawn stylised characters that originated from Japan.

Because I am currently unable to travel due to heavy work commitments, I decided to "travel" digitally into the world of anime using selfies of myself taken during my travels. 

Travel is after all not just physical journeys but also journeys of the creative mind!

Here are some of my photos, transformed into anime character(s) of myself. Digitally generated characters of what I would possibly look like if I live in an anime world! 😂

The original photo from which this digitally generated picture of Anime Timothy was taken in Busan, South Korea (2019) 

A semi-accurate rendition of myself in anime-style. The original photograph was that of myself taken in the balcony of a cruise ship somewhere along the Straits of Malacca (2022)

This digitally generated anime character was created from an original photo of myself taken in 2020. Marina Bay, Singapore (2020)

Digital-anime me, after a swim at the hotel I was staying in when I was in Luang Prabang, Laos (2017)

This anime rendition of me was based on an original selfie taken onboard a flight from Singapore to Siem Reap, Cambodia (2022)

This totally does not look like me at all. But I actually wouldn't mind looking like this. A bit badass, with that hairstyle, those tattoos, bulk chest and all. Okuhida, Takayama Prefecture, Japan (2014)
