Finnish artist Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen has grown up with Disney and its characters have become his inexhaustible source of inspiration. During the last couple of years, Jirka has been creating their portraits, and the images look incredibly realistic.
“I just randomly thought I’d challenge myself and have a little fun in Photoshop to explore what the character of Ursula from ‘The Little Mermaid’ could look like in real life,” Väätäinen told HuffPost. “Having grown up with a lot of these characters, the sense of nostalgia made it such a fascinating and a fun personal project to explore and carry on with.”
“I have always been interested in character design,” he added, “as well as the way people look and what makes them unique in their appearance.” Jirka believes that a Disney character with more of a realistic face will allow people to feel even more deeply about them, see them as someone “relatable or swoon-worthy.” And we couldn’t agree with him more!
