Incredible Artists Create Disney Characters In Their Own, Unique Styles And Each One Is Totally Amazing
We can never get enough art, especially when it's inspired Disney characters and Disney stories, from Disney fans and for Disney fans. The truth is, and we've said it many times before, Disney fans create some of the world's best fan art (not that anime fans don't, actually... there's a lot of fandom crossover, thankfully.)
We just love to take every opportunity we can to celebrate the incredible skill of Disney fan artists, and these three artists from all over the United States are definitely worth gushing over. Each artist has their own distinct style, interests, and skills, yet each artist re-creates easily identifiable Disney characters.
This intersection of unique and classic is precisely what makes Disney fan art the best. Check them out!

Last up: Suisei-Ojii-Sama
Suisei-Ojii-Sama creates a variety of fan art, but most of it is inspired by Disney or Sailor Moon. This unique series is quite the creative endeavor for the United States-based artist.
Speaking on their inspiration, the artist said:
"A while ago I posted an image of Belle from Beauty and the Beast from a story I was working on where the Disney princesses became magical schoolgirls (it's as silly as it sounds). I haven't really done anything with them since then, so I thought I would just work with them in the shape form that I've been working with recently."Support the Artist: DeviantArt |
Princess: Mulan of Zhongguo
"Mulan, I would say, is the tomboy of the group. Think of her almost as Sailor Jupiter, but with a sword that she can use to communicate with/control spirits (that's what all the smoke and the glowy orbs are supposed to be). She's not afraid to get into fights and beat bitches down, but all she really wants is a friend."

Princess: Jasmine of Agrabah
"Her character in the story would be very mysterious, the last princess to get her powers back because of something she did in the past concerning her beloved Aladdin and a fight for his life."

Princess: Belle of Rosaille
"Her character is very much like her character in the movie: beautiful but quiet, with an affinity for written words rather than spoken ones. She is actually Aurora's sister in the story and has always been a little jealous of her. The Rose Mirror has become hers and can reveal the truth as well as cast protection circles/shields."

Princess: Aurora of Thorngale
"Princess Aurora of Thorngale. Her powers are attached to a set of magical bracelets (with the same name as her kingdom) which the Princess of Thorngale can use to command the winds (weave tornadoes...get it? Forget the fact that spinning wheels have nothing to do with weaving please)and also launch those nifty thorn-like attachments as projectiles."
suisei-ojii-sama
Princess: Ariel of Atlantica
"Ariel, in the story, is the leader of this rag tag team of magical school girls. She commands control over the Trident of Atlantica, used by all of its rulers since its inception. Anything that the Trident can do in the movie, Ariel can use it for (it doesn't mean she knows how though...). In her free time, Ariel is an average student (more on the barely passing side...) but also an avid dancer. Aurora is her best friend and together their ready for anything."
