Look at These Hipster Disney Princesses

Well, here are Ariel, Belle and Auror--er, Briar Rose together in all their indie-than-thou glory. Why yes, I did draw all of them on the same sheet of paper.

I may or may not have a couple more ideas for hipsterfied Disney princesses. We'll just see how snarky I'm feeling.

Until then, if you want a closer look at them all, from left to right...

-Ariel (the one that started it all...and loathes everyone else for it)
-Belle (who soon followed, will likely collaborate with Ariel's crab BFF)
-Auro--BRIAR ROSE (still denying her lineage)

Aurora, Er, I Mean Briar Rose is Such a Hipster

Gasp! A second upload today? Well don't I just feel like jolly ol' Saint Nick today? :-P

Yup. Another Disney princess has been given the Hipster treatment. I warned you all about it, didn't I? If it looks like Aurora, oops, I mean Briar Rose got zapped by the American Apparel ray gun (which I imagine would be covered in silver foil and Dov Charney's slimeyness) then my mission is highly accomplished.

We Just Got Disneyfied

Ahh, it's about time I've finished this embarrassingly beyond belated sketch for my good friend Joe who asked for me to draw "us as Disney characters." (His exact words.)

At first, I wasn't sure which direction he wanted to me to take the "us" portion of the sketch ("us" as in just us two or "us" as in our circle of friends etc.) but once I finally settled on something, I needed to figure out how to tackle the Disney art style.

Let's just say it was even harder to figure out an approach to the sketch as well as mastering the style. Well, okay, more like trying to adapt to the style.

Hopefully I managed to pull it off in some way.

Yes, that is me on the left as sort of a sorceress/villain type and that's Joe on the right. He would SO be a Disney prince a'la Eric. He's got the pipes for it, that's for sure. ;-P

Belle: Also a Total Hipster

I told you I was planning on drawing more hipsterfied Disney princesses now, didn't I?

After completing Hipster Ariel, the next princess begging to get the treatment was dear ol' Belle. I decided to put her in her villager outfit as opposed to her famous ballgown because gold taffeta is so lame. (Unless it was for a totally ironic 80's prom dress party night, then game on!)

I've got one more princess in mind to add to this bizarro mini-series. Anticipate it. Fear it. ;-P

Ariel is a Total Hipster

Okay, I took a little detour and got struck with the urge to work in a fairly recent goofy Internet meme: it's Hipster Ariel, yo! Confused? Intrigued? Morbidly curious? Go to the link and check out what all this happenin' noise is about.

Drawing a hipsterfied Ariel was remarkably fun to do. So much so that I'm considering giving some other Disney princesses the same treatment.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

SKETCHAVEMBER Day 22: Minnie With a Rockabilly Twist!

22 days into Sketchavember and it's evident that I still haven't gotten Disneyland (nor mice in general) out of my system. :-P

I was reminded of my Minnie Mouse inspired lolita design from a few years back and I thought it would be interesting to meld her signature look with more of a rockabilly/pin-up girl type flavor. Did I pull it off?

Oh hey, a hidden Mickey!
