While surfing the web I came across ‘Toonify Yourself!‘ that allows you to upload a photo and see what you’d look like in an animated movie. It uses deep learning and is based on distillation of a blended StyleGAN models into a pix2pixHD image to image translation network.
It sounded interesting, so I tried it out with one of my pictures and got the following results:

I quite like the result and am thinking of using it as my avatar going forward. What do you think?
