Can I take a photograph and make it a cartoon image?

That image was produced by AI from a text prompt (as were all in that gallery).

I've added a couple made with Dynamic Auto Painter, but it's still not what you're really looking for...However. On another thread HERE, Mr. Frendak popped up. The first line on his website clearly states: "Hey, Spektra13. I'd love to flatten your face into vectors. Call me."

His website showing his cartooning abilities: >>>Rocket Studios Home <<<

Yeah, not what I’m looking for and they’re definitely a bit… out there. Lol My dad said it looks like Michael Meyers behind me in the second one.
I took a quick look at Mr. Frendaks website and I have to say I’m really impressed! He does a lot of great work, though I’m not sure where you saw him say my name specifically.

100% Xara. Yes I removed watermarks without permission, yes I'm using (probably) copyright material, but it's 100% Xara, no 3rd party software.

That actually turned out pretty well! It’s quick and dirty but it works! I’m not sure if its considered copyright because I paid for it but either way it looks good!

Well, here's the Xara project file if you want to play around with backgrounds etc.

I really like that! It's giving 80's vibes and I love it! I can definitely use these somewhere!

Grab the project file, and you can play with text, background, line, colours and effects 'til your heart's content.

I grabbed the source file for the first one but I don't see a source file for the second one.

Ha, that's the point. It's the same project file, but with a different background with the line changed and a different font/effect.

The line is changed by selecting the circle then choosing the Freehand and Brush Tool from the Toolbar on the left, and then Select An Existing Brush from the top toolbar.

The background was one I had kicking around, but it would have come from LEXICA, an AI image search engine. Use 'synthwave abstract' or 'neon abstract' for search criteria.

The font is Antihero, and the text effect was a 15 step blend (which I've turned off because it redraws every time you move it or zoom).

If you do different genre of games, you could have a different background and font to match each genre, but keep the character the same to tie them all together.

Project file attached, but again, it's really the same file. And another pic because I can't stop now.
