Not long after my last post, in which I commented on the
terrible re-imaging of Disney Villains, I came across these designs on the Disney Parks Blog released by Noah, an artist who has done quite a few designs
for Disney recently.
It’s more villain
merch, but I must say these are better done, in that they at least capture the
personality and uniqueness behind the characters. They also look absolutely terrifying, which
is what they inherently are to begin with, as opposed to the passively-posed starved
diva designs I presented last week.
The
only thing I can comment on here is I’d like to see less gendering of the
products. Noah even talks in the article
about separating the male and female characters respectively to “guys” and “ladies.” As I said last week, my favorite villain is
Scar but here only female villains are on the female clothing and vice
versa. I could of course buy the male
version but it would be nice to have a choice in the matter. At least the skateboard decks depict both sexes!
But aside from this critique, kudos to Noah for his ability to take
artistic liberties while still holding true to what makes these characters fun
to love and hate in the first place.
