Most women grew up with Disney Princesses being the definition of beauty in their young lives. But with their teeny tiny waists, gravity-defying hair, and whiter-than-white teeth it was always a kind of impossible beauty standard to achieve… until now! Ridiculously talented artist Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen has created a series of hyper-realistic re-imagings of the Disney Princesses and Disney Heroines for us to feast our eyes upon. It’s so amazing to see the animated role models of our youth come to life through Jirka’s amazing work!
Ariel
Here’s Ariel, by far the most foolish of all the Disney Princesses, instead of remaining under the sea (where it is not only wetter but categorically better) Ariel opts to go to live on the land with some bloke she literally just met. Whatever, she looks absolutely amazing in this illustration, I particularly like how Jirka has fleshed her out a little so she has room for those all-important internal organs! The original Disney illustrations weren’t always so keen on giving women healthy proportions…
