Artist's Unique Style Creates Interesting Changes to Classic Disney Princess Designs
From Illinois, USA, this artist has definitely taken Disney Princesses in her own direction and utilized her unique style to do so.
Laura Bushaw has spent more than 13 years putting a fresh spin on Disney Princesses, and her work keeps finding new ways to stand out. Based in Illinois, she mixes illustration with photography and other artistic formats, giving familiar characters a look that feels both playful and unexpected.
Her reimagined princesses and villains have drawn attention from fans who love seeing classic characters transformed through a different creative lens. From Cinderella to Cruella De Vil, each piece shows how much personality can come from a simple change in style.

Sometimes, one of the coolest and most interesting aspects of Disney fan art can be as simple as seeing Disney characters we know and love redesigned in different colors. Other times, what we love to see in Disney fan art are exotic designs that bring iconic elements classically associated with each different princess.
For example, it's easy to associate vibrant yellow and royal blue with Snow White, as well as apples! Or the stark contrast of classic pink and blue, with speckles of gold for Aurora, not to mention the color combination of red, green, and purple for Ariel.
Any time a Disney character is re-created by an artist, the possibilities are truly endless, and that's something that brings Disney fans back to Disney fan art indefinitely... you never know what you might get!

Another trend that's become increasingly popular among Disney fan artists is re-creating Disney villains. As Disney fans grow up, they can often find new meaning in the interesting ways that Disney tells stories, including those that have already been re-envisioned from original and older fairy tales like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Tangled.
In fact, some Disney villains are probably just as popular as Disney princesses and heroes. You'll find no shortage of fans who love creating fan art of Hades from Hercules, Cruella De Vil, The Evil Queen, and Maleficent.
When Disney began making live-action movies featuring the backstories of Disney villains, that probably helped propel the fandom in the direction of appreciating villains a little more, too.
This is similar to the small moments that turn normal into something unusual.
