Artist Randy Bishop created a series of illustrations that portray Marvel's X-Men as Disney characters. While there are many remixed Disney princess artworks, this particular series reverses the spectrum.
Marvel's X-Men characters are often presented with harsh exteriors and powerful crime-fighting abilities. However, these illustrations give the X-Men a playful and fun-loving exterior. The series titled 'X-Men Doodles' brings a quirky soft tone that directly reflects the Disney characters that appeal to younger generations.
The series contains well-known characters such as Wolverine, Gambit and Mystique. While Wolverine is known for his piercing sharp claws, Randy Bishop illustrates him as a mildly angry Disney character. Each of these recreated superheroes is given a soft jaw line, highly animated facial features and stylish Disney hairstyles.
