Princess X Street Fighter by Michael Villamejor
Reimagining Disney princesses seems to be a pastime of illustrators. There have been teenage princesses, emo princesses, pin-up princesses, and pretty much every other variation of the Disney princesses you can think of. That is why it is impressive that this set of princesses, titled "Princess X Street Fighter" stands out among all of the others. These princesses, illustrated by designer Michael Villamejor, or #MikeVDesign, are pixel art street fighters, and I wouldn't mess with them.MikeV recently featured the Street Fighter princesses at Rothic Art Haus in Anaheim, CA. His process includes sketching, then a digital rendering of the character, and then finally turning the illustration into and 8-bit pixel art character. He has created many other characters of this style, which can be found on his site. The idea of making these princesses into fighters is pretty fun since it poses such a juxtaposition. Who would you bet on in a street fight? Rapunzel has her frying pan and isn't afraid to use it, but Anna does pack a mean punch... and wasn't Kida a warrior? Check them out, and you decide for yourself.
