A lot of artists took famous Disney characters and recreated them with a twist – the example here. But 28-year-old Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen from Finland has now recreated them as real people, and it’s more realistic than you could imagine.
“Back in 2011 I just randomly thought I’d challenge myself and have a little fun in Photoshop, and explore what the character of Ursula from the Little Mermaid could look like in real life,” Jirka said. “Since I grew up with a lot of these characters, the sense of nostalgia made it such a fascinating and a fun personal project.”
“I’ve been inspired by the idea of re-envisioning these characters that we all know and love, in a way I would imagine them to look like if they were ‘more real,’ while still staying somewhat true to their original designs,” she added.
Enjoy!
