Description

Back in the fall of 2013, I had done a series of drawings imagining the Disney Princesses as high school students with magical powers as an homage to Sailor Moon. The premise of the series posited Aurora as the primary protagonist who inherits magical powers and leads a team of similarly empowered heroines against her nemesis Maleficent. I wanted to revisit this idea and decided to use an image from one of the Sailor Moon art books by Naoko Takeuchi as a reference for the poses.

As mentioned previously, Aurora serves as the team's leader. She's captain of the Walt Disney Academy cheerleading team and dreams of someday becoming a ballet dancer. Many see her as quiet and shy, but she's playful and quick-witted when she's around friends. An animal lover at heart, she's a vegan and is passionate about animal rights. Her attacks are related to love and energy.

Aurora's closest friend is Snow White, a charismatic and friendly girl with an unwavering sense of optimism. She always stands up for what is right and believes in giving people the benefit of the doubt. Like Aurora, she is a cheerleader and a lover of animals. Additionally, Snow White loves the outdoors and enjoys riding horses. Her attacks are related to snow and ice.

Cinderella is the third member of the team. In spite of the abuse she faces at home, Cinderella remains a patient and kind individual. She views school as an escape from her home life and the friendships she has built have become crucial in helping her cope. Cinderella dreams of one day freeing herself from her stepmother and stepsisters, with the ambition to become a fashion designer. Her attacks are related to glass and dust.

Cinderella's closest friend is Belle. An intellectual at heart, Belle is a voracious reader and spends most of her time at the school library. Despite her outward beauty, Belle is largely unimpressed with the superficial and tends to show a general distaste for social media. Her attacks are related to flowers and wood.

The final member of the team is Ariel. She is the star of the swim team and a favourite in the choir. Unfortunately, Ariel is known for being chronically late to practices and competitions. She's a true adventurer and is always off on some kind of mission. Seen as a flake by many, Ariel has found it difficult to make friends and tends to feel very alienated from others. She's been able to find a home with Aurora and her group. Her attacks are related to water and the sea.

For the drawing, I obviously used Sailor Moon as a reference. Their looks are Sailor Moon-ified versions of the ball gowns they wear on merchandising. For Snow White, I took most of my inspiration from her appearance on "Once Upon a Time." She's such a great character on that show and I really wanted to pay tribute to that. It was pretty fun drawing them all. Depending on the feedback, I may try my hand at future additions to this team.

Enjoy!!
