Illustrator Shows How Disney Princesses Would Look Like If They Lived In 2017, And The Result Is Awesome
In recent years, we've seen quite a few reimagined 'modern' versions of the Disney princesses we grew up loving and admiring. This latest interpretation by Chilean digital artist Fernanda Suarez, however, might be the fairest of them all.
Starting with Snow White back in July, Suarez has gone on to illustrate 7 classic princesses in hip, present-day fashion. These sketched-up smoke shows look like they follow Luxy Hair tutorials on YouTube and shop for clothes at Forever 21. They probably post selfies with their 'princes' on Instagram and all agree that NAKED2 is the best eyeshadow palette. Oh yeah, they probably also campaign non-stop on social media for the equal rights of dwarfs, marine wildlife, and big cat conservation.
Can't find your favourite princess here? Suarez is still working on the series, and is currently taking votes on who she should design next (Rapunzel and Merida are tied for first so far). Scroll down to see the incredible work she's already done, and let us know which modern princess you'd love to grab a venti latte with.

This gave me a jolt when I saw it. Looks like my best friend who passed away our Sr. year of HS. If you gave her green eyes this would be Crystal. I miss her so much. I love this picture. For a moment it was like seeing her again.

I’m sorry for your loss. I imagine seeing Ariel’s pic shook you. People say in time it will get easier it will you’ll be able to cope but you’ll always miss her. I’m so sorry.

From the looks of the drawing one would say that Ariel has mastered the Breast Stroke!

I don't know. She doesn't look like she'd take any c**p off the step family. Just can't picture her in the scullery.
If you've ever wondered how your favorite Disney princesses might embrace modern life, you'll love the artistic interpretations by Fernanda Suarez. These fashionable, social media-savvy versions of the beloved characters offer a fresh perspective on their timeless charm.
For another intriguing take on their stories after 'happily ever after,' explore how life as mothers could look for these iconic figures.

These are beautiful, and I understand how people can get tired of Disney princesses. Before you complain about "uncreative artists" please understand how the market works. Fanart receives highest ammounts of views, clicks and likes. This is the way to get patreons, a platform that keeps many artist afloat. Original content gets far less attention. This artist also has beautiful original art on her FB, so take a look.

@Meowton Mewsk Like/comments= shares Shares= lots of people seeing your work Which means out of all those people you develop fans, out if all those fans some may be interested in your work, meaning they may purchase your work or hire you, which means money in your pocket, which means you don't have to be a "starving artist" I'm sure were the option available Dali, Rembrant, Picasso, etc... It would have been useful. Plus, it's always nice to know other people enjoy your work. Criticism is ok to, points out things you may have overlooked, or maybe want to go back and alter or consider next time. Your are oversimplifying what the internet can and can't do for artists

And by powerful and determined, you mean that Jasmine looks like a vindictive lunatic, Ariel looks like she wants to hook up with you to make her gangster boyfriend jealous, and Cinderella just walked off the set of Cruel Intentions. Mulan and Poco are the only two that look powerful and determined. When the rest of them come around you know that drama will ensue.

Not sure why these princesses (except the more 'ethnic' ones and Cinderella) look somewhat hipster or off-beat? I get it, hipster is cool and all nowadays, but some variety would have made each individual princess more striking in her own way, not to mention less monotonous.
Feliciano Mora 8 years ago
I can appreciate the quality and technique shown in these fan art subjects. That said "fan art" is both simultaneously killing artist alleys with unoriginal thought, retreads of ideas, and educating the public in all the wrong ways about how one should invest and support an artist.

It was just a matter of time before someone came up with a hyper sexualized version of Disney princesses and label that as modern and "awesome". I quote from the article: "They probably post selfies with their 'princes' on Instagram and all agree that NAKED2 is the best eyeshadow palette." NAKED2. This is awesome? Do you know who idolizes Disney princesses? Little 6 year old girls... Give me a break and let's allow kids to remain kids.

I think the art was great BUT.. Pocahontas was only 9 or 10 years old in real life.. a child bride. Even by todays fashion standards.. I don't think this painting quite depicts a 9 year old.

It looks like the artist basically thinks that women in 2017 don't get enough sleep. They're just Disney princesses with bags under their eyes.

The only one I'd like to see here is Little Red Riding Hood, revisited by Stéphane Levallois, I know she was not a Disney princess but so much more interesting, in fact all these Disney movies were sugar loaded versions of cruel and very sadistic 18th century novels, but this century needs less of it, it sees it in everyday life

I am sorry that anyone complains if you need to wear glasses, that is horrible. You keep positive, if they cannot see through the glasses then their imagination is seriously lacking.
