Ever wanted to see Disney princesses envisioned in a more realistic look? From Pocahontas to Esmeralda, passing by Little Mermaid, Belle and even the evil Ursula, they’re all reviewed with realistic looks. I was so impressed with this work, I had to share. I don't need to say much more. The pieces speak for themselves. The end results of all the characters are incredible good! Check out the art below and tell us what you think! The photo-manipulations below was created by Finnish graphic design student Jirka Väätäinen: "I find photos all over the Internet and then combine them in Photoshop," he says. "I don't base the characters on only one real person or picture - I pick, mix and blend features. I also do some digital painting, by hand, to make it all come together."

    This is ingenious! You are a very talented artist. You should make a lot more of the Disney characters, because I’d like to see the way you interpret the rest of them in real life.

    These models are absolutely beautiful! Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) looks exactly like the animated one! Looking forward to seeing other models in these roles (how about the male roles as well?… Tarzan, Aladdin, Jafar, Shang…)

    I think the pictures are beautiful (all of them). And pocohontas and Jasmin, particularly, because they are so accurate to the disney version of these stories.

    Aside from the Tiana picture, all the portraits look amazing. The one of Tiana looks like a terrible photoshopping project done in Windows Paint.
