*Hapuriainen, an artist over on deviant art, designed the Disney Princesses as Pokemon characters – more like Pokemon Princesses. Check out this incredible work below and then check out the page on deviant art for more information behind the artwork!

Can you guess all of the Pokemon Princesses?

Here’s a description and feedback for each drawing above:

Snow White, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Used the round Skyla style eyes, which was a mistake. I wanted to use the stripes on the poofy sleeves somehow, but it made the design too busy so I thought it was better to leave them out.

Cinderella
Not really liking the design, but I find the drawing the most Sugimori style looking. A bit silly how she has such sturdy trainers when the delicate glass slippers were a central part of her story, but it’s not like a Pokemon trainer could go around in those. The shirt tied at her waist was blatantly copied from Candice.

Aurora, from Sleeping Beauty
This might be my least favorite, the design has too much going on and it doesn’t really stay together. Also I think her blue dress looks way much better than the pink one, but I picked the pink thing anyway since Belle and Cinderella already had a blue color scheme.

Belle, from Beauty and the Beast
This is probably the only one of these I fully like… Using the blue/white outfit instead of the yellow ball gown thing, I think it looks a million times prettier.
Ariel, from the Little Mermaid
One bandana = good. More than one = not so good any more. What was I thinking? Tried to make this one resemble something you could wear on a hot beach.

Mulan
She’s my favorite Disney princess but the pokegirl outfit turned out pretty bland. On the other hand her outfit had so many colors that it was tough keeping the design from getting too busy.

Tiana, from the Princess and the Frog
Another outfit that has a lot of stuff going on and very little of it has much sense. And I’m still unsure about the curls hanging from the bag; pokemon style shouldn’t have that thin lace. But I really wanted to make use of the plant thing on her waist from the lillypad dress, and that was the only thing I could think of. [click to continue…]
