Disney characters have been subjects of artists for a long time. There are a lot of coloring books that kids spend their time coloring outside the line of and artists who use their references for practice.

There’s a whole universe of them, even a multi-universe present but Disney princesses have a special place in artists’ hearts. They have been around for a long time and are ever-growing.

Disney princesses have previously existed as characters who needed the saving of their prince charming. They possess pleasantly musical voices and have animals as standard companions.

But slowly, Disney has made the modern princesses be self-reliant, strong, and the hero of the story. That doesn’t mean that we should turn a blind eye to what characters like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty contributed.

No matter what era they come from, they have been pretty much reimagined by artists into different worlds. From princesses in an apocalyptic world to a universe where the roles are reversed and they’re the villains, it’s all interesting to see.

An artist who posted in Deviant Art named Joel DuQue has shared Disney princess reimagined as Elementals. We have an example of one in an actual Disney movie which is Elsa, but wouldn’t it be interesting to see how others would appear as?

There’s something about the scene where Princess Jasmine escaped from the hourglass that screams power and here she holds control to wind and earth

If Megara would actually be the dark element, she could kick out Hades from the throne and those pesky minions he had.

The artist was contemplating if it would be unoriginal to choose Meg as the dark element but he thinks no one fits it better.

The princess of Atlantica or one of the princesses if you count all of Ariel’s sisters represents the water element.

The process of creating Snow White as the elemental of the moon was quite interesting as the snow didn’t really fit her for the artist but it still came out great

Pocahontas was the first one that Joel thought of and it was obvious what she would look like but was torn if she would be “wood” or “earth”

Later on, he decided to give the title of the elemental earth to Princess Jasmine and Kida

The passion within Mulan was enough to be reimagined as the element “Fire”. Mushu would be proud and so would be her ancestors

Rapunzel is known for her glowing hair, but she’s also a ray of sunshine with her positive outlook on life. Being “Light” is very fitting from the inside out of her being.

The artist chose a non-traditional element for Aurora which is magic. She is drawn as a fairy just like her fairy godmothers and incorporated prominent features in the film like the spindle.

Merida from ``Brave'' is the element “Love” or “Heart” after the artist noted what ultimately got them out of a sticky situation of her mother turning into a bear.

Vanellope’s theme came from her ability to teleport but it wasn’t easy to put it on paper as there were 20 sketch iterations before she came to be

Kida has been an underrated Disney princess but her strength is honored by being the element of Gemstone. Quoting the artist he put it as “strength and shine hidden away underneath the ground”

Belle is the element of metal and manifested into a shape of a somewhat messy candelabra but also her making was almost referred to her father’s inventions.

Tiana has elements that represents plants but the artist decided to make her the element of Sound and figured out how to manifest it into his sketch

The artist is a true fan of the Disney Princesses and made sure to draw them with connections to who they are in the original movies. There were times when he was stuck on what to really make them but he stayed true to what he felt was fitting when he was drawing.

This project was creative and highly interesting. It should have a place in the hall of fame for reimagined Disney art.
