Mexico-Based Illustrator Re-Creates Disney Characters Looking Adorably Plump
Each Disney character featured is vibrantly colorful, unmistakable in identity, and showcases precisely the sort of details that any Disney fan can appreciate.
Disney fan art gets a lot more interesting when an artist puts a fresh spin on familiar characters, and this Mexico-based illustrator has done exactly that. Aqua-Mermaid has re-created several Disney princesses with adorably plump proportions, while keeping each character instantly recognizable.
The gallery includes Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Snow White, and Cinderella, all rendered in bright, playful detail. It is a simple concept, but the results are eye-catching, charming, and very easy for Disney fans to enjoy.
Here is the full collection, plus a few more pieces from the artist’s DeviantArt page.
1. Princess Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
Between the unmistakable red of her hair, the dreams visible in her eyes, and the Dinglehopper she holds in her delightfully chubby hands, there's simply no denying that this is Princess Ariel, The Little Mermaid. We also can't help but adore the blush in her cheeks and the glitter in her scales; they're such nice touches for this whimsical princess of the seas.

Princess Jasmine of Agrabah is dancing with delight in this adorable re-creation. You don't need a robust imagination to picture her jiggly belly as she dances with her scarf.

There's no other way to put it: Belle has one of the best dress designs for a plus-size princess. The luscious ribbons that are a prominent feature in this iconic design add an illusion-like element to this gorgeous dress, and this plus-sized Belle is knocking it out of the park.

4. Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)
Is there anything more relatable to the average Millennial than feeling tired? This plus-size princess has the energy that will have most of us saying, "Yep, I feel that."
Honestly, have you ever seen a more adorable yawn? I sincerely doubt it.

5. Snow White
Is Snow White fan art officially fan art if there isn't an apple somewhere? This illustration of Disney's first princess is positively perfect in every way.

6. Cinderella
The clock can strike midnight, but this plump princess will live on in our hearts forever. Cinderella's iconic hairstyle, vibrant blue eyes, and glass slippers are not bound by BMI—she looks fabulous, darling.

Illustrator Aqua-Mermaid doesn't only create pieces of pleasantly plump princesses; the artist is most definitely a Disney fan. If one were to guess who their favorite Disney princess is, you would probably guess that it is Ariel based on the amount of Little Mermaid fan art you can find in their gallery on DeviantArt!
While the series of chubby princesses was short, we knew our fellow Disney fanatics would love to see some more awesome Disney fan art, so here are a few more pieces for you to gush over and enjoy.
