Fantastically Realistic Illustrations of Disney Princesses

Finnish graphic design student Jirka Väätäinen has been creating a collection of illustrations that gives us a vision of what Disney princesses would look like in real life. These have to be the best I’ve seen over the years, as they look lifelike while staying true to their animated selves (e.g., Belle’s cocked eyebrow).

    I second Amanda. I’m curious as to how she creates these pictures. Belle is my favorite.

        I thought the same thing! Jasmine looks like Kim Kardashian and Ariel looks like a young Sally Feild.

    These are remarkable!! Wow!! I really wish I was artistic. I think artists aren’t ever compensated nearly enough for what they bring to this world. (Sorry I haven’t been around much the past week! It’s been a nutz week with little time and internet.. I read every post though.. =) )

    Aurora looks like Sharon Stone. Sort of odd.

    Sleeping Beauty=Kim Basinger, Meg= Kate Walsh and Pocahontas= Tia Carrere

    There’s also Amanda Sefried as Rapunzel, Maggie Gelenhal as Jane from Tarzan, Michelle Trachtenburg as Snow White…They are photo Manipulations
