Things made of green felt probably shouldn’t have a tongue with a face, if this new reinvention of kermit the frog as a xenomorph of Alien is some indication.
Regardless, because the internet being what it is, the aforementioned unholy bonding is exactly what we got with an artwork that was shared in a Twitter post by 3D artist Ty Soares.
“[W]I had to see this so now you too,” wrote user @DnDSesame, who also shared the image.
You can see the evolution of 3D rendering, including wireframe and original 2D drawing inspiration, on Soares’ Art Station site.
The original 2D Kermit Xenomorph mockup apparently comes from the insane mind of Ed Harrington, whose Tumblr page is filled with other cursed images, like Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street revealing their ripped abs, Bugs Bunny and Elmer. Fudd being styled as Xenomorph and Predator, respectively, and the Hill family of King of the hill simulated as various horror icons, all of which you can check out below.
One Twitter user couldn’t help but reference a moment the Muppets called Alien with an explosive gag.
Another Kermit fan could only conjure up the iconic frog’s frightened face in response.
Another Twitter user reminded everyone of the prophetic warning given by Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park.
“I think this is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen all day,” another user put it succinctly.
Kermit hasn’t strayed far from the collective consciousness of pop culture lately, as evidenced by a popular PC mod that saw the singing frog swing from skyscrapers in Insomniac’s. Spiderman play.
