Fan Art Friday – The Disney Stylings Of Chris Darril

Disney has remained popular thanks in large part to its cast of beloved characters. That pool includes the immensely popular Disney Princesses, who steal the show thanks to artist Chris Darril.

Darril’s artwork beautifully depicts icons like Snow White, Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Belle (Beauty and the Beast), and Jasmine (Aladdin), and in a few of these pieces, you’ll swear that Disney produced it themselves. He switches up styles from time to time, but regardless of his method, the characters and surroundings are still stunning.

Not to be left out, the villains of Disney get their own chance to shine, like in his “Throne Contenders” piece. Ursula, Lady Tremaine, Maleficent, and Grimhilde all seem to be on the same team, but it’s only a matter of time before one of them turns on the others. If you’re curious about how Darril creates his art, each piece also features a walkthrough of the entire process.

For several highlights from his Disney collection make sure to check out the gallery, and you can find more of Chris Darril’s artwork on Deviant Art and Facebook.

Disney’s next theatrical release is the much anticipated Beauty and the Beast live-action film, and you can read the official description below.

Beauty and the Beast is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.

Beauty and the Beast stars Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belles eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.

Beauty and the Beast will be released in U.S. theaters on March 17, 2017.
