Artist's Comments

In early September of 2007, I had the idea to take a traditional shot of the "usual suspects" Disney Princesses (see [link]) and replace them with (or cast them as) heroines from some of my favourite Broadway shows--some newer/older or less popular than others. I have been a huge Disney fan since childhood, and really admire the dA artists who emulate the classic style; I was anxious to try my hand at it. Each girl was hand drawn in line and scanned in to be cleaned up and coloured in PhotoShop individually. Here they were layered in over a nauseating (but "Princess"-y) shade of pink. There are some proportion issues (mostly in unsourced body parts, eep!), but they're pretty tolerable. ^^;

Left to right: Wendla Bergmann (Ariel), Christine Daaé (Belle), Mimi Marquez (Jasmine), Clara Johnson (Cinderella, with a touch of Alice), Kate Monster (Snow White), and Eponine Thénardier (Aurora).

Please see each individual character for disclaimer, detail, and whatever else:

Wendla of Spring Awakening: [link]
Christine of The Phantom of the Opera: [link]
Mimi of Rent: [link]
Clara of The Light in the Piazza: [link]
Kate of Avenue Q: [link]
Eponine of Les Misérables: [link]

I will not be portraying any character from Wicked in this style, nor any musical character that was originally Disney to begin with. And in case you were wondering, Kate is my personal favourite. :)

I can definitely see who you based them off of, but you added more personality to all the characters.
Great job!

98% of Deviants don't know the difference between "you're" and "your."
If you're one of the 2% that wants to punch them, put this in your signature. (Though you're forgiven if English is not your first language).

Just a lot of practise, and good image sourcing! :) Thank you! No worries, I really appreciate positive feedback.

I really just hold Sondheim's musicals in a higher regard, and think of his heroines as a breed apart. To me, they're more special. In time, I would love to make a composite group shot of them separate from the girls pictured here.
