Making sure that these princesses are no damsels in distress, Canada-based artist Johnni Kok re-imagined everyone's favorite cartoon role models as fierce armed warriors for his Disney princesses illustration series.
Titled ‘Kill Team Princesses,’ the Disney princesses illustration series features princesses like Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Belle from Beauty and The Beast, Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, Mulan and Pocahontas. But instead of being saved and waiting for Prince Charming, these badass princesses are portrayed as dangerous characters with a license to kill.
In his fantasy art series, Kok is still able to portray the pretty princesses as feminine and elegant but what makes this artwork so special is he is also able to give then a tough look with weapons and not lose the essence of their characters.
