Costume Redesigns and Crossovers

I swear I saw this in a buzzfeed article preview on FB.

Cute art but otherwise unrecognizable when executed. Anyone have any /good/ examples?

Probably. I have seen it in a tonne of places on facebook in the last few hours.
Being unrecognizable is the biggest thing I worry about with the redesigns. I would hate to put all the work into it and feel like it failed.
I've thought of doing Hannah Alexander but I feel like its just recognizable as her rather than the characters at this point... Maybe Sadyna?

These are probably my favorite of the Disney Princesses but with ____________ genre, but costumes of these designs usually fail to really capture the feel of the art.

Why is Jasmine a prostitute?

Because artists aren't into correct obi styling, proportion, accessories or collar designs enough for realistic accuracy. Jasmine's is the worst mistake but there are plenty of others.

Really? I can see how some of them look a bit generic, but most of them are pretty obvious to me, especially the ones who have really special hair, like Rapunzel, Elsa and Jasmine

I think it would be a really fun group cosplay, since the princesses in their normal outfits are pretty overdone and boring (imo) at this point

But then again, I am kind of a sucker for crossovers and genderbends (the good ones, not the nigri tier ones) and all that kinda stuff that isn't just the regular outfit, so I might be biased

>Implying Disney pricess AUs haven't been played out for almost two years at this point

You do you, but I'm sooooo tired of nonsensical AU DP shit.

idunno, I only recognized Rapunzel because she's the only purple princess, she and Elsa could pass as "blondes in kimono" instead of Elsa and Rapunzel in kimono. And while Jasmine's hair is recogniseable (only if you nail her look) her design is also the most eye-rollingly cringe since the artist apparently drew her as a prostitute.

The artwork is cute, though.

Well, these aren't really AUs though. But I get your point. I also think they're overdone, but if they're well done, or really pretty like the ones op posted, I think it's still more fun than the regular ones.

Anon, I think 90% of people would recognize atleast Elsa. The blonde hair in a braid and ice blue outfit is pretty iconic at this point.
Also, I think Alice would also be pretty recognizable, with the blue dress and apron and Alice bow.
Tbh, just the hair and color scheme in the characters is enough for me to recognize the characters, and I think its like that for a lot of people since the disney princesses are so well known

I disagree with other anon but I will say I'm a bit disappointed in some of the designs.

I wish Jasmine's kimono included Raja somewhere, maybe the Obi. Rapunzel's should be covered in some of her paintings and feature the sun logo thing. Either that or bee a dark purple with a lantern pattern? Anything but the generic shit she's wearing right now

I love this artist and checked daily for new drawings from this series, but I'll admit I wish they drew more patterns like >>9254433 onto the kimonos to make them a bit more recognizable. Especially Rapunzel ended up feeling very mundane design wise.

That said Snow White is my favorite.

Well, Rapnuzels pose makes it kinda hard to add much detail to the kimono, and Jasmine has quite a lot going on with the robe and obi, so I can kinda understand how it might have been impractical to add more details to the kimonos.
But yeah, I see where you're comming from.
I wouldn't have minded that they didn't have the details if it weren't that some characters have them, feels kinda unbalanced I guess?

>>9254680
I know this is off topic, but could you point out the other mistakes? It's super interestin!

They're all just "Disney character in a kimono" without anything else really distinctive to them. Nice art but that's it.

I really like them. Disney princesses are recognisable just by their hair and colour schemes. I don't think anyone would have trouble knowing who you were.

It's a great opportunity if you like kimono and you want to cosplay something that's not too obscure. How would you do the designs, though? Silk painting?
