Description I really wanted to recreate a classic piece of Naoko Takeuchi's art with Disney characters. The nine Sailor princesses in narrow profiles ([link] ) is probably one of the better known of her pieces and in my opinion one of the most beautiful, so I chose it.

I know a lot of better-known artists have recreated this picture before (*mimi-na 's rendering of Belle is the first that comes to mind), but I really wanted to try my hand at it. And as far as I know, no one has recreated this picture with Disney princesses in their canon princess dresses.

Anyway! I think it's cute and a good break from doing less colorful character designs. I may do another one, we'll see!

I had mentioned this in passing, but just to make it clear I am referencing each princess's pose from a piece of official Disney art, to get the personality of each princess. Snow White's pose can be found here -- > [link] !

When I finish all of them (I think there will be nine total), I am going to put them all together as a wall paper, I think. C:

The others will include Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana. Mulan and Pocahontas are usually not included ._. but they are some of my favorites. And I might add Alice as a bonus, because she is cute. C:

Thank you! I'll be sure to. C:

Snow White looks wonderfully elegant here. I'm continuously surprised by how well you mimic Takeuchi's style, but still change it a little. (The really bright colors here are a bit different than her usual pastel fare.)

I look forward to the other princesses!

marie-berry In reply to WanderingKotka [2010-02-25 21:19:42 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! To be honest, I really struggled with the colors on Snow here. I uploaded a version with a single layer of soft colors first, but it looked sloppy and unlike Snow, so I doubled the color layer and I think it made things better. Maybe I ought to upload the first version to scraps and compare the two?

There's a few pieces where Takeuchi uses very, very bright colors, such as here --> [link] . And the results are ... very strange.

I'm sorry for writing a small novel! XD In any case, thank you again! I hope to have the other princesses very soon. :]

I think the bright colors work well here, it was just unexpected. And you're right. Just as I sent the comment I remembered some of the wild pinks that show up in Sailor Moon illos. Her newer stuff is a lot brighter too.

Still! I think it's great! Though a comparison might be neat to see too.

marie-berry In reply to WanderingKotka [2010-02-27 14:40:11 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yeah, she's really fond of those crazy pinks, isn't she? (They remind me of the 80s...) And I checked out some of her newer stuff recently and yeah, it's really bright. And her style has changed a little, I think. She uses closed light art and thicker lines now which makes her lineart feel heavier than it did during the original run of SM.

I might upload the original version now, because I'm curious. Thank you again! :]

Thank you~ I (loosely) referenced a bit of merchandise art on google for the pose and skirt, actually, but had to modify everything to emulate fakeuchi style. XD I can't wait for Cinderella either! She'll be so pretty in SILVER. SILVER, NOT BLUE. >:[

YES. SILVER FTW. With strawberry-blonde hair, of course. Or red, whatever you wanna call it. xD

You're quite welcome, and I agree! I'm not usually a lover of Miss White, but you draw her in a way that I simply cannot resist!

Aw! You're so nice. I think I'm going to do the other princesses in the same style, but I wanted to start out with Snow White because she was the first, you know? It's nostalgic. Or maybe OCD. Must ... put them.. in chronological order...

KonekoTsukino In reply to marie-berry [2010-02-23 23:31:28 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I totally understand that! Whenever I do series (of which I do a LOT) I HAVE to draw them in order. If not planet order, then senshi order. It's some strange obsession I have...
