November looks to be an exciting month forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsas a large free update as well as a large paid DLC will be made available for fans on November 5th.Animal Crossing: New Horizonshas proved to be incredibly successful, not just as an installment in theAnimal Crossing franchise, but also as a Nintendo Switch exclusive.
The success ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscan be contributed to many different factors, but something all fans can agree on is how amazing the anthropomorphic animals in the series are. Because of their appearance though, one can sometimes momentarily forget the animals they’re based on. A user on Reddit has taken a few of the Animal residences and decided to create several realistic paintings based on them.

Four beautiful and realistic paintings ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscharacters were drawn by user theheyfrancis. Several key characters such as Tom Nook, Isabelle,Daisy (the turnip merchant), K.K Slider, and more were the focus of these realistic paintings. Oftentimes when looking at realistic depictions of anthropomorphic animals, there is can be some uncomfortable-like feeling attached. It’s not always the case, but it can happen. That being said, the drawings from theheyfrancis are anything but uncomfortable.
The paintings of theseAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscharacters make the cast seem as wonderfully adorable in real life as they are in the video game. That’s partially because of the setting and the items these characters have on them. For example, the first painting that depicts Tom Nook shows the animal wearing his usual dress shirt for work while having a large stack of bells sitting beside him. Meanwhile,K.K Slider is sitting next to a campfirewith his guitar laying against a log. They’re small details but works in the favor of the painting to depict these characters in a way where fans would instantly recognize them, but also smile at the images.
Theheyfrancis teased more realistic paintings that could be on the way in celebration of the massive updates coming out next month. Despite theseupdates being the last forAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, they will introduce a plethora of new characters and fun activities for fans to enjoy for many hours. They’ll even introduce new animals that future paintings can draw inspiration from.
