Recently,
I stumbled upon a collection of realistic portraits of Disney characters. These
images serve to show what the autor imagines Disney characters would look like
if they were real people. Jirka Väätäinen, the creator of this collection, did
this study independently, without any affiliation to Disney. This artist has
been around for some time. He has many other collections to see on his website.
This collection has no one specific
audience. It is likely that any Disney fan will enjoy these pieces. Väätäinen
created these works after being inspired by characters in the Disney stories.
Väätäinen uses appropriation of
familiar characters in this collection. This effect reminds viewers of the
Disney magic. Many people love Disney, so by seeing this collection, they are again
inspired by their favorite stories. The purpose of this collection was simply
to show viewers what it would look like if various Disney characters lived in
the real world.
The author’s purpose was to show how
many popular and beloved characters would look if they were not animated. I
think Väätäinen is a phenomenal artist who was able to redesign Disney
characters, and make it look easy. I think Väätäinen was able to achieve the
goal of appropriating these characters because I barely have to use any
imagination to imagine them in the real world.
See the whole collection here.
