In the land of Lovelyish, we love featuring the Disney princesses in all their glory. Their images have been re-imagined by a multitude of artists, with sets ranging from kick-a$s heroines to traditional tattoo designs. Now I have managed to unearth a completely different set of modernized princesses from the mind of a Finnish designer. The artist has digitally designed the leading ladies of Disney in realistic and human-like form.

The popularity of remodeling our favorite childhood characters can stem from early stages of illustration. When I was a wee lass, I spent a good deal of my free time drawing and sketching figures I admired from the big screen or VHS tapes. The curvature of Ariel’s mermaid fin was always tricky to perfect! Obviously, the images composed by Jirka Väätäinen are better than the doodles I hid in my kindergarten cubby.

And although she is far from a princess, can we take a moment to gawk at this sinister interpretation of Ursula? Great, Jirka. You have given me one more reason to love the octopus witch. She rules all.
