Disney Meets Warcraft - 15 Amazing Illustrations To Spark Your Imagination
"What if" is the greatest question of all.
What kind of influence did Disney have on your childhood (assuming it had any at all)? Did it make an impression on you?
Did it inspire you to want to be a princess or a prince? Did it encourage you to be more creative?
Disney, on the other hand, never ceases to be a source of inspiration for many artists, particularly when it comes to its female protagonists. Whether or not you understand the Disney attraction, we can all admire these artistic efforts for their artistic value alone.
Fan art is one of the greatest "achievements" of Disney culture. It enables those of us who lack the talent to create our own works to see our favorite characters in different versions.
With so many artists producing fan art, it's impossible not to encounter someone who shares your ideas. Well, if you've ever wondered what a mashup between Disney and Warcraft characters would look like, you are in luck. Artist Libertad Delgado Rodríguez (aka LiberLibelula) from Spain made it happen.
She modestly says, "Come on, blame me for zero originality. I had fun XD I love Disney and World of Warcraft, so why not a crossover?" But we believe these illustrations are true works of art.
That's why we've selected 15 of her best pieces, and we know you are going to love them. Take a look and tell us what you think:

4. Frozen's Prince Hans

5. Lady Tremaine and Daughters from Cinderella

On her website, the artist says: "Hi everyone! I'm Libertad, an artist and writer from Spain. I love bright colors, character portraits, designing book covers, and stories that combine Fantasy, Romance, and Horror."In fact, I love stories so much that I've published three novels for your enjoyment (and two of them are in English!). In my work, you'll find lots of fantasy, color, a tiny hint of darkness, and, in some cases, baffling amounts of silliness."
6. Queen Grimhilde

7. Princess Anna

8. Princess Tiana

A few baddies were also included by the artist. After all, what’s a Disney story without a proper villain? The artist paid attention to even the tiniest details, dressing her reinvented characters in outfits and accessories that pay homage to the original stories.
