* This often happens to the kids from ''[[Peanuts]]''. A few examples would be [http://ctw36.deviantart.com/art/Play-it-again-Schroeder-90276883 this picture of Lucy and Schroeder], [http://gugi40.deviantart.com/art/Linus-74902185 this Linus], or [http://blackjack-davie.deviantart.com/art/Peppermint-Patty-puberty-137735565 this Peppermint Patty].
** And then there's the "Peanuts Revival" series of artworks created in 2006-2007 by an artist using the name "gNAW". Depicting the ''Peanuts'' crew as high schoolers (mostly -- Sally looks to be maybe 13 or 14, and Rerun is ten or so), it makes every girl a stunner, even Marcie, and Charlie Brown himself is surprisingly badass-looking. And we get to see a Little Red-Haired Girl worth obsessing over. [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/70742/ gNaw's original website] is more than a bit annoying to navigate, but that's okay, the pictures can be found all over the Web if you don't want to scroll through thumbnails one at a time (and occasionally get dead-ended).

* Lois of ''[[Hi and Lois]]'' frequently gets turned into a [[Hot Mom]] and [[Up to Eleven|beyond]], particularly in the (NSFW) works of the artist who goes by the name "Rage Grenade".
 
Line 123 ⟶ 127:
** Perhaps the most notable example is [[Badass Bookworm|Patchouli]]: loli-lovers draw her [[Pettanko|flat]] and, well, loli-esque, big breast lovers give her larger breasts and an adult body and everyone else makes her "medium-sized" and teen-ish. It helps her character type fits either way, and that her clothing is baggy enough that her body type is totally ambiguous.
** ''Touhou'' is a unique variation of this trope. Characters are not drawn more attractive merely to be more attractive, ZUN is simply a terrible artist and therefore fans improve on them in an effort to portray their "actual" appearance. It helps that there are official examples, significant improvements to characters' appearances present in any work in which ZUN did not draw them, most notably in the fighting [[Gaiden Game]]s and ''[[Universe Compendium|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.
* The fanbase for ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' is ''full'' of this trope. You can not look for art of it on [[DeviantARTDeviantArt]] without seeing all the classes depicted as young and sexy. Yes, even ''the Heavy''. As a fangirl favorite, Medic is especially prone to this. And let's not get started on the [[Distaff Counterpart|female versions]] of most characters...
* ''[[Disgaea]]'' characters get this done to them sometimes, although it's almost always [[Pettanko|Etna and Flonne]].
** On the other hand, [[lolicon]]s find Etna and Flonne ([[Stripperiffic|especially Etna]] to be an excellent source of fanservice just the way they are.
Line 193 ⟶ 197:
* Heloise in ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. In the show, she looks like a little girl ([[Word of God]] says she is [[Vague Age|14ish]]). In fanart, she's a very busty and very [[Evil Is Sexy|sexy]] figure.
* Venger from ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (animation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'' is sometimes illustrated by fans as beautiful slab of beefcake with long flowing hair under his cowl.
* PBS is not exempt. Just look up ''[[Word Girl]]'' on [[DeviantARTDeviantArt]], and you're sure to find that Becky's often been.... um, [[Most Common Superpower|''enhanced''.]] And then there's the pairing pics.... (It doesn't help that the two most [[Fan-Preferred Couple|popular]] pairings are [[Dating Catwoman|Becky]][[Foe Yay|/]][[All Girls Want Bad Boys|Tobey]] and [[Lolicon|Becky]][[Teacher-Student Romance|/]][[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Two-]][[Mad Scientist|Brains]].
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is getting this treatment too. Expect to see lots of bishonen versions of the characters, yaoi of the main characters, and sexy humanized versions of Perry the platypus.
* There's a considerable amount of fan art for ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' that features human versions of the characters of the show. While most of it is G-rated, many artists take advantage of the opportunity to make sexier depictions of the characters without nose-diving into [[Squick]] territory.
