Artist Conceptualizes Live-Action Version Of Disney Characters
What would they look like if they were real people?
If Disney characters had live-action counterparts, what would they look like? This is the question that artist Ema Rajabova sought to answer.
We've seen Disney princesses in various costumes, from having a mermaid's tail like Ariel's to recreating them with social twists. It's always exciting to see them from a new perspective.
This time, it's all about the live-action counterparts of these beloved characters. Usually, it's the princesses that we see reimagined.
Fortunately, Rajabova included other characters as well. So, in addition to Disney princesses, we'll also be seeing antagonists and sidekicks.
Rajabova is an artist who creates stories, characters, and illustrations. She shares her work via her Instagram account, art_of_ema.
If you'd like to take a trip down memory lane, this is the perfect opportunity, as you'll see the characters in a different light. Rajabova has depicted them in such a way that you can see the characters and their live-action versions side by side.
A number of them closely resemble the original characters, and it's amazing. Today, we're going to take a look at the 16 illustrations that Rajabova created.
