Canadian digital artist and photographer, Mike Roshuk put together a collection of Disney Princesses reimagined as warriors. As usual, with fan art like these, the ladies do not have much going on in the armor department. It just doesn’t seem like a smart idea to go into battle just wearing underwear, but I have to admit that Ariel with a trident is pretty fucking bad ass. Sigh… Internet…
(Since this is just fan art, it’s not going up on Escher Girls.)
But *sigh* -_- Why is it when “women” and “warrior” go together, everybody thinks metal battle bikinis. And what’s the point? THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME. You can’t tell what their role is on the battlefield by their armor or anything, it’s all just battle bikini and shoulder and knee pads. e_e And they’re wearing garters too. -_o (I know it’s a remnant of him using lingerie models for the base, but you’d think you’d remove those.) Plus, belly button chains are a terrible idea for combat. Get it caught in something and… riiiiip. Ouch. >_<
I mean it would be really cool to re-imagine them as warriors, and you’d think this would give you a chance to be really creative in their outfits, armaments, armor, and making cool designs that fit their personalities and classic outfits, but instead, as usual it’s a bunch of same-bodied models with the same sort of expression on their faces and battle bikinis. -_- How boring. :
Wondered if I should share it on this blog for some time now, but didn’t have a good commentary.
Finally, Ami (of eschergirls fame) certainly found some good words for this ridiculousness.
And since Repair Her Armor encourages the readers to submit re-designs of Disney princess-inspired functional armor I encourage you to submit potential problems with belly button chains or… you know… any other problematic part of those designs.
