A wonderfully talented artist by the name of Jeffrey Thomas has posted up his vision of darkened versions of the Disney Princesses, and they're absolutely mind blowingly awesome. These were all drawn long before the Disney/Marvel merger was announced, but let me just say that I would read any Marvel comic that starred these dark and evil looking versions of the princesses. Especially Mulan (my personal favorite Disney Princess).
Seriously Marvel Comics, if you're listening . . . hire this guy and team him up with some A-Class writing talent and get these books made. These are goldmines waiting to happen.
You can see the rest of the gallery here, which includes incredible dark versions of Alice In Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Cinderella, Jane (from Tarzan), Sleeping Beauty, Nala (from The Lion King), Belle and Jasmine.
I honestly can't tell which of these images is the coolest, They're all so great in their own ways. Pocahontas blood covered and with human skulls on her outfit? Belle looking like that chick from The Ring? Ariel with a hook hand? Too awesome for words!
LOVE these! i made the Alice one my iphone wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteDude, Mike, check out the rest of the artist's website. Just go to his main homepage and scroll down it. He's got tons of cool art there about all sorts of stuff including some of his original characters, but he's also got stuff like TMNT, Street Fighter, Batman, and one of the best damned portraits of the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend that I've ever seen. It's amazing.
