Pocahontas
Hades
Well, if this happens in real life, Disney needs Morena Baccarin to play her.
Her dreamlike digital portraits depict characters from Disney, Studio Ghibli movies, video games (like League of Legends and The Legend of Zelda), and even well-known animated movie classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas. Her illustrations feature feminine Hades from the animated feature film Hercules, masculine Pocahontas from the Disney movie classic of the same name, a sophisticated male version of Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Wizard Howl and Sophie Hatter from one of the most famous Studio Ghibli movie classics with their genders switched, and much more.
Cruella De Vil
For her gender-bent series, the artist tries to stay true to the original design and look to make her portraits look realistic and just on-point. However, she always adds her own creative touch to make them distinct and unique. Most of them have features that you can find in popular Japanese anime or manga.
Esmeralda
Maleficent
I know he's supposed to be maleficent, but he kinda looks like chernabog from Fantasia
The artist is self-taught, but she received some guidance from some of her college teachers and game companies, which she has worked for. Most of her skills, though, came from hard work and experimenting a lot. Sakimi Chan is very picky when it comes to her work so her digital portraits and dreamlike depictions are always extremely detailed and flawless.

Whole bunch of Elsa's as a guy, no Kristoff's (or Olaf's) as women
Jinx
Superman
She just looks like Supergirl. You could have at least given her black hair.
Yeah, not overly fond of the sexualization of EVERYONE, but absolutely technically well done.
I'm totally cool with the sexualization, at least of most of the males based on female characters. (ie: Jessica Rabbit, Ariel, etc.) The original versions were hyper-sexualized too. It's only fair to make them eye candy again.
Load More Replies...I really like them, but why do they all have these big boobs? Is this what makes them "female"? Sorry even the skeleton has a... prominent chest. Otherwise, great artwork 😘
yeah, skeleton with breasts is a bit...not anatomical I guess...its a skeleton, there's no soft tissue there anymore.... ><
Load More Replies...It'd be nice if Disney would make a movie about a prince who needs rescuing sometime. Non-hetero romances would be nice too, especially in a kids movie.
I don't know why this is down voted, I'd like to see this too
Load More Replies...Usually when there is an article with disney-drawings people moan a lot about "Not again" "Unoriginal" ect. Not here. Which shows the artist really did a top notch job here. I love it
Male versions could have been more masculine, if the point was a gender-switch... Those guys are in fact designed as females with just abs instead of boobs...
TBH the only reason why I clicked on this post is because male Ariel attracted me.
