Family Guy's Peter Griffin has been given the live-action treatment and the result is frightening. The long running cartoon comedy follows the lives and misadventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family: Peter and his wife Lois; their three children Meg, Chris, and baby Stewie. Rounding out the cast is the family dog Brian, a highly intellectual animal companion who is voiced by show creator Seth MacFarlane, who also does the voices for Peter and Stewie. The show first began in 1999, and Family Guy season 21 will premiere this fall.
Despite Family Guy being one of the most popular adult comedy shows on television, it has never had a theatrically released movie like The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers. As of now, there has been no recent news on an animated film, or a live action movie, but that has not stopped fans from imagining what a live-action Family Guy movie might look like. Rather than casting actors in the role, however, one artist has imagined what Family Guy's cartoon characters could look like if they were made to appear in live-action.
Artist Hossein Diba has shared his version of what Family Guy protagonist Peter Griffin would look like in the real world. Diba created this three dimensional version of Peter using a digital art program and has included photos of the rendering from multiple angles. While the design is incredibly life-like, it's also a little creepy seeing Peter's cartoon proportions rendered like a live-action character. Check out the full image, below:

There is no word on if Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has seen Diba's image, or if Fox would ever consider doing a special or movie that could feature some live-action segment. Diba has created more art that shows other classic cartoons rendered as three dimensional, live-action charaters, including Mr. and Mrs. Incredible from The Incredibles, Carl Fredericksen and Russell from Up, and even Krusty the Clown from The Simpsons.
As Family Guy enters its second decade on the air, it may be time for the series to try something different. In season 12, for example, Brian was killed off. He was later brought back after fans complained his death was just cheap and done for shock value, but this is an example of how a fanbase can push a story's direction. If Family Guy fans like Diba keep creating art like this, they may also be able to influence what wild ideas the show's writer think up next. For now though, the Griffin Family can been seen when Family Guy season 21 premieres on September 25th on Fox.
