We propose a method of creating a realistic face image from a 2D non-realistic character such as a cartoon. Our system allows us to create a high quality face image that is applicable for some application such as 3D character animation. Our system uses two key algorithms; one is an algorithm for synthesizing a novel face image without the warping process, and the other is a searching algorithm, which search each optimal patch from the database based on gradient distribution.
