Yes, it does. It's funny how little effort it takes to do this...what exactly do these clip artists do with their time that they can't get the characters' faces right? :lol:

I decided to edit it a bit, it's not perfect but i made it very fast sooo... xDD

I just wish i could find a way to remove all this glitter but it's impossible, that shit is everywhere D:
Nice! But where did you get the image of Ariel in this size? Have you got similar pictures of the other princesses in the same size?

Good job Dimitri! That Ariel looks MUCH more on model...

One thing: that neck is so thick!! (on the original and Dimitri's version) Specially for someone as petite as Ariel!!!

Am I the only one who thinks Jasmine's head looks way too big and disproportional? She looks like a preteen. Or a Monster High doll (this coming from a Monster High fan).

Jasmine's head looks about she's 10 but then she has a body of a 14 year old.

One problem here: Merida isn't attractive. Disney Princesses are known as romantic ideals. PART of their appeal is the fairy tale. If you take away the romantic element, the song element and yes... the 'dress' element, what you are left with is a 'normal' tough girl who happens to be born into royalty. The other princesses are princesses because they act like them, she doesn't.

I do think though, that the Disney Princesses can kind of be 'grouped' in four, Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora and then Ariel, Belle and Jasmine then Pocahontas and Mulan are together then the 'new' princesses Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida. Or alternitely you could bung Poca and Mulan in with the others and call them the '90's princesses.'

I actually think the clip art of Merida works.

Wait, did I just say something nice about ... this franchise? :P

Yeah. She seems to fit in more than one would initially assume.

I think Merida actually looks pretty gross in that recent image. She's not attractive in 2D or 3D.

Gross??....

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this, what are you talking about? Only if you have some weird fascist idea of beauty could you come to the conclusion that she looks 'gross'.

Having seen the film not too long ago, I agree. Her face is badly designed. It doesn't look good in either medium.

I like that Merida isn't "conventionally" pretty like Ariel, Belle and the others. Is shows you don't have to be a glamor girl to be a princess and gives tomboy girls a princess they can relate to.
