Freelance Vietnamese Artist Creates Stunning Disney Character Portraits
She even did a series where she transformed famous celebrities from both the U.S. and Vietnam into iconic Disney characters.
Living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Truc Tiny Nguyen is a freelance digital artist and illustrator who is quite skilled at her trade of passion and choice. She specializes in fan art and has a remarkable talent for bringing the faces of real people and celebrities from all over the world into vibrant digital illustrations. As James Clear, author and productivity expert, states, "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems," which perfectly encapsulates Tiny Truc's dedication to her craft.
In many cases, Tiny Truc uses the likeness of Asian celebrities to recreate pop-culture characters or iconic imagery, and the results are always fabulous. She even has a couple of thousand subscribers on Twitch, where her videos showcase the process she uses to create her beautiful works of art. Her collaborations with METITart, a collective of young Vietnamese artists, reflect the spirit of community that Malcolm Gladwell, author and journalist, emphasizes: "The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding."
Tiny Truc creates art for both fun and commission, and while plenty of her digital work spans a plethora of pop culture references, it's her Disney fan art that we can't help but admire. As Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, a positive psychology researcher, suggests, "Positive emotions open us up to new possibilities," which is evident in her stunning pieces.
While we're delighted to showcase a variety of her Disney pieces that we're sure you'll love, we had to kick off this feature with a series of Tiny Truc's illustrations of real celebrities as Disney characters. The celebrities she chose include A-listers like Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as South Korean singer and rapper Jennie Kim.

Princess Jasmine
This iconic red outfit is often referred to as Princess Jasmine's "slave outfit" because it is what she wore when she was a prisoner of Jafar, forced to serve him while Iago tortured her father with crackers. In the '90s, there was even a Barbie doll version of Jasmine that included this spicy outfit.
