Dark Twists On Classic Tales With Reimagined Disney Villains That Will Astound You

by Damjan

From Ohio, there's an artist who stands out. He's known for working on the Cyanide & Happiness webcomics and has been creating art for about nine years.

Besides that, he's also part of a clothing brand called Any Means Necessary. But what changed the game for him was in 2016 when he started making art about mental health during Inktober, a yearly art challenge. This project, called Inktober Illness, shifted his focus to making art that talks about mental health issues. His artwork has spread all over the internet and even ended up as tattoos on many people. He says it's amazing how his art from Ohio can reach so many people who feel like they're not heard.

When asked where he gets his ideas from, he says it's hard to explain. It's just how his mind works, coming up with pictures out of ideas just like how anyone might come up with questions to ask.

He loves getting ideas from fans, friends, and family, but because he's got bills to pay, he usually can't do art requests for free. People often ask why his art costs what it does. He explains that he charges based on what he believes his time and art are worth.

Like anyone else working a job, he puts in the hours and needs to pay bills with what he earns. He's pretty straightforward about not appreciating it when people say his art is too expensive or that they could find something cheaper.

The idea for Inktober Illness came from his background as an ER nurse and his research into mental health. The tough part was making an illness recognizable in just one image. He knows not everyone might relate to the symptoms shown in his art, but it might help others feel understood.

When discussing his approach to redesigning Disney villains, he expressed, "While everyone tends to champion the heroes, there's often not enough appreciation for the antagonists. I aimed to infuse a darker allure into these iconic villains, perhaps even instilling a hint of unease, all in the hope of dissuading my daughters from subjecting me to yet another Disney movie marathon."

Taking a new look at Disney villains is a cool and clever idea. This artist decided to make the bad guys in Disney movies more interesting and a bit spooky.

He hoped that by doing this, his daughters might finally give him a break from watching Disney movies back to back. It's a smart way to mix things up and show that even the villains have their own stories worth looking at.

It's pretty awesome to think about these characters in a new way, and it's a fun twist on the usual good versus evil story. This is creative and makes us think more about every character in the stories we love.
