Disney characters are popular among artists to be recreated to different versions from real life princesses to obese to superheroes – you can see a lot of variations of these iconic characters.
This time, Russian artist Artemii Myasnikov transforms Disney princesses into brave warriors and they really look like some badass fighters.
“One night I was watching the “Disenchantment” series with my wife and we started a discussion on what we like/dislike about the main character,” he told Bored Panda about how this idea came about. “One of the things we both liked is how wasn’t a damsel in distress, unlike most of the princesses in Disney movies.”
He continued, “I immediately wanted to draw a Snow White (because to me she’s the most damsel-in-distress-y princess ever) that would be armed, dangerous, and in charge of her own fate. That’s how the sequence started.”
Myasnikov is a full-time artist and works as an art director in a game studio, and he regularly shared his artworks on his Instagram account. “I draw girls, strange creatures, and techno stuff, that fully describes my favorite themes,” he shared. “Growing up, I was into Gen 13, all of the Mike Mignola stuff, DC and Marvel comic series (As a child, I was a die-hard fan of X-men series), Mulan, The Transformers, Exosquad, The Animatrics…”
