Icon18 Twisted Princesses: A Darker Take on Disney
Quote:
given their typically grim and gritty take on superheroes, it's easy to see these hardcore heroines through the lens of a Marvel mashup.

I think Cinderella is the creepiest one for some reason.

I really, really like sleeping beauty for some reason. I think it's the pack of evil dwarves.

The atmosphere of these is actually closer to the menace of the original stories anyway.....

Cinderella is my favorite - I like that whole sewn together Frankenstein-esque look. Guess who's going to be my halloween desktop wallpaper?

ETA: I think The Little Mermaid is the creepiest

I'm kind of like Mulan the best. She's seems insanely tough. She has several arrows in her and doesn't seem to care. I also like that the little annoying Mushu has become a bad-ass dragon tattoo Mulan can summon.

ETA: Pocahontas was the creepiest for me. I think the bloody knife and the skull jewelry is what did it.

I think they're all creepy and awesome. Look at that smirk on Jasmine's face. Evil.

I love that Ariel had a dinglehopper-hand as a take on the hook-hand.

Sorry, but I just don't think you can make Timon and Pummbaa look creepy. I call "Fail".

I did like Creep Show Beauty though.

How wrong am I for thinking that Creepy Belle is kinda hot?

The website up there has larger versions of the pictures. They'd probably be better for wallpapering than the ones in my OP.

I think my faves are a toss up between Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Though I agree that Cinderella's awesome as well. Very cool.

I totally just wallpapered Pochahontas. Cause that's what she shouldv'e done IRL to the invading bastiges....

ETA: Jane is also cool, but what is that behind her? Is it supposed to be a gorilla? Cause it looks like a giant rat!

I think you're confusing Sleeping Beauty (Aurora) with Snow White. Although if you look close you can see the three fairies captured in something on Aurora's belt.

Dwarves are very upsetting.

I like all of them. They're awesome.

Darn. Yeah. Snow white. I have no idea why Sleeping Beauty was in my head.

He explained the storyline behind it on his DeviantArt page. It's the baby baboon who stole her pictures.

I've been exploring his site. He's got some great stuff there!

This makes me wish Disney would do an animated Pirates of the Caribbean series!

And this looks really cute!

I like Jasmine! I could totally see her character getting fed up with Aladin and doing that, too! I like how she's melting into sand at the edges.

Yeah, creepy Timone and Pumba are just goofy.

I totally misread that. I thought she was letting sand pour out of her hand.

I just looked at all the bigger versions of the pics and realized that Sleeping Beauty's eyes are crudely sewn shut. That ups the creep-factor on that pic by quite a bit.
