Isabelle Staub is a US-based artist who specializes in portraiture and character design. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she uses her skills to turn cartoon characters and popular culture icons into her own unique and often super lifelike creations. Seeking drawing ideas in everything from Disney characters and princesses, Powerpuff Girls to Pennywise the Clown and Tarantino movies, Staub transforms each of these cartoon drawings with a wholly distinct style of her own. Scroll down to see her cool drawings for yourself, and click here for some of her best Disney work.

“From the moment I could hold a pencil, I was drawing and creating every day,” she writes. “Art is a direct reflection of the artist. As such, my beautiful drawings are a reflection of who I am, constantly evolving and improving and not limited to one medium or style. I let my art tell viewers a story, connecting them to a place, time, and emotion. I pour my heart, mind, and soul into every piece I create.”

I feel like this one strayed too far from the original, it's an amazing piece but it barely looks like her.

OMG I would LOVE to see a more "mature" version of The Powerpuff Girls with such characters. WOW.

They did a one episode special with the powerpuff girls as teenagers in the original show.

These two have absolutely nothing in common except there's green.

She's not tomboy enough, and I'm not a fan of the big pouty lips. She doesn't really have the attitude Buttercup always had.

The reimagined Buttercup is spot on, but IMHO the other two are missing the point. Sorry.

I really that you had done all 3. Buttercup's awesome, but there's something lacking

Looks like she fell head-first into a 500m pit and then rammed her head into a steel pole.

I like it. It's unfortunate that everyone feels they have to be so critical.

I can't decide which I like better... #5 or #8. In both cases, the character seems to have been brought to literal life, with richness and depth. Amazing work!

I like it, I always found Snow White kind of sickly and creepy to look at, she basically has a babies face but with make up on, but here she looks normal.

This is the first one I've seen where Ms. Straub kept that "Disneyness" in her portrait, that fresh-faced ingénue. Very nice!

Sorry to say, but this does not capture the loony, happy, yet rebellious spirit of the powerpuff girls, the quality of the illustration notwithstanding.
