A front facing image of Peppa Pig sketched by an artist has been branded "the stuff of nightmares".

​A 16-year-old animation artist mocked up a sketch of what the fictional cartoon character might look like from face on.

The front of Peppa Pig’s face, as imagined by teenager KwonHanchi, was met with horror from cartoon fans as the image was retweeted over 79,000 times and liked 164,000 times.

Taking to social media, the teen shared a black and white pencil sketch of the animated character with the words: “Hey! This is Peppa Pig’s left face”.

Shortly after, he uploaded another drawing of Peppa Pig’s face profile from the right before finally tweeting the sketch of the character face on, adding: “This is Peppa Pig’s front face”.

The sketch showed Peppa smiling with two sets of eyes and two snouts.

Memes were later created about the drawing including Peppa's extra facial features with the caption: “Horrible truth about Peppa Pig”.

While one Twitter user shared the image with the words: “Peppa pigs front view is so scary”.

As another person said: “Front-facing Peppa Pig is pure nightmare fuel that will haunt you forever”.

One perplexed user added: “Lmao how did she end up gaining two more eyes and nostrils for the front view?” while another joked: “The stuff nightmares are made of."

Children’s television programme Peppa Pig originally aired in 2004, with the series currently shown in 180 territories including the USA and UK. Each episode is approximately five minutes long and revolves around Peppa – a talking female pig – and her family and friends.
