The Newest Disney Princesses!

Here is the next work in my "Mewify it!" series! (Name to change when I get a cuter idea) Here, I have taken the mew mews and drawn them like Disney princesses. I used "Disney approved colors" (which really means that each of the colors/skin tones used in this picture came from color matching with the Disney princesses.) as well as actual Disney faces as references. I will tell you what was used for each mew mew! Just a note, the princess I used for face reference is also the princess whose skin color I used.
Alright! From right to left!
Mint: I used Cinderella as her face reference-- I happened to find one that looked kind of sassy, just like our dear Mint! Her pose is loosely based off of one of Rapunzel's--again, so much sass! Her wings are based off of the bird wing style used again in Cinderella. Her dress color came from Jasmine, and her hair and blue accents came from Snow White's bodice.
Lettuce: I felt it was fitting to use Belle's face as reference for Lettuce! Belle has always struck me as very sweet looking but still more mature than the younger princesses. I felt she captured perfectly Lettuce's kindness and soft personality. Her pose is also loosely based off of one of Belle's. Both colors of green come from Ariel's Mermaid fins!
Ichigo: Ichigo's face is based off of Ariel! I patterned her dress design after Aurora's dress, and the color pink is from that as well. I came up with the pose myself. The red is from Snow White's hair bow. Her hair design is also mimicking Aurora's.
Zakuro: Zakuro has Aurora's face (only I changed it from smiling to Zakuro's characteristic model face) and Jasmine's pose (you probably recognize it, it's a pretty commonly used image) Purple was hard to find; most of the purple worn by princesses is more in the lilac/lavender range, not that deep magenta Zakuro usually wears. For the main color, I used the color of Ariel's seashell top, and the accent color is actually from Megara's dress in Hercules.
Pudding: Pudding is probably the most franken-mew as far as composition: I used Mulan's face for reference, but then changed to Rapunzel's eyes, for a more younger/active looking Pudding. She derives her colors from Belle's hair and dress. Actually, Zakuro has more of a mix of things used, but I actually morphed two different faces for Pudding, that's why I think of her as more mixed.

Speaking of New Disney princesses, I absolutely love Frozen! So. Freakin'. Adorable. I really love Anna and Elsa--they made it so that they complement each other perfectly! Plus, I feel a special connection, because Elsa's personality matches mine, and Anna's matches my sister, so it meant a lot to me!

I hope you enjoy this next installment! I don't know what or when the next one will be, so it will be a surprise for everyone!

Love and Sparkles,
Kayla

  1. It's really incredible how much detail you put into this. Lettuce looks super adorable, I'm glad you based her off of Belle. I like Mew Ichigo, too (the way you curled her hair is really cute). However, the rest of the Mew Mews look weird to me. The lips just look too big for me to take seriously. But it's still cool to see them in a different way. Did you come out having a favorite in the group? I think it would be really neat to see the Mew Mew's drawn like Shounen girls (bonus points if you put Kishu and Ryu-san in there too), or as newspaper cartoon characters.

  2. Ooo! I hadn't thought about doing Shonen style mews! What shonen manga style should I use? Or should I just make them each a different shonen style based off of personality? (I am pretty sure that Zakuro would be from bleach. I don't know why) I think I will do that K-chan!
    I don't know too many shonen animes though... Any ideas what I should do for each mew?

  3. Zakuro should totally be Bleach! And I would love it if one of the Mew Mews was from FMA. Maybe you could base Mint off of Tenten from Naruto...? (though she might not look Shonen enough...) Lettuce as someone from Code Geass? Black Cat? Aah, I feel like I just forgot all of the Shonen I know! Use any combination you want, or do it all from one Shonen, this is going to be so flipping awesome. Anyways, the more Shonen, the better. XD I can't wait!

    1. I actually was thinking of basing mint off of Tenten! I was thinking of basing Pudding off of FMA, probably the little asian girl (I forget her name...) I'm thinking maybe Ichigo based off of Seiya from black cat? I don't know, that's a hard one... I'm not sure about Lettuce though... We shall see...

  4. Pudding would be great as her! And Ichigo would be a good fit for Seiya from Black Cat. Lettuce is a tough one, but I think either Kallen when she's pretending to be sick, or Nunally both from Code Geass, or that one flower girl from Wolf's Rain.
