Cinderella

She is finally here.
This is a continuation of my previous attempts to envision Disney characters in “real life”.

Love it! You are just too awesome!!
November 12, 2011 at 12:28 am
Thanks!
November 11, 2011 at 10:33 pm
I was wondering when you would do her
. I’m glad you finally did!
November 11, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Like always, another great work. Congratulations!
November 12, 2011 at 12:30 am
Thanks
November 11, 2011 at 11:11 pm
She’s perfectly exquisite and exquisitely perfect!
November 12, 2011 at 12:30 am
Thank you!
November 12, 2011 at 12:18 am
she looks kinda pissed off? I expected her eyes to be bigger and her nose smaller. just my opinion!
November 12, 2011 at 12:27 am
Oh, definitely did not intend to make her looks pissed off? Thanks for the input though
November 12, 2011 at 1:16 am
Beautiful!!!
November 12, 2011 at 1:20 am
Beautiful!!! I’ll be pissed off too if left to clean the house…
it’s perfect Jirka. Keep walking.
November 12, 2011 at 2:26 am
Lovely. Looks a bit like Dianna Agron from Glee, to me.
November 12, 2011 at 6:19 pm
Thank you
December 30, 2011 at 7:12 am
Beautiful=)
May 10, 2012 at 9:35 am
Totally agree
November 12, 2011 at 3:34 am
looks freaking fantastic. This is probably my favorite…think you’re gonna do rapunzel any time soon?
November 12, 2011 at 6:19 pm
Thank you! I am glad you like it. Definitely one day… might take a while though!
November 12, 2011 at 4:11 am
Amazing! I know she’s not a Princess but I’m a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, I would love to see your thoughts of that!
November 12, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Thanks! The characters I do don’t have to be princesses, so we will see!
November 12, 2011 at 4:38 am
Your work is amazing! Such great interpretations. Will you be doing a rendition of Wendy (Peter Pan), Alice, or Tinkerbell?
November 12, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Thanks! Not sure yet
November 12, 2011 at 7:49 am
I think she’s just wonderful!!
November 12, 2011 at 8:05 am
Oh my! She is too beautiful in the face! No wonder the step sisters envy her!
November 12, 2011 at 9:28 am
Absolutely Stunning! Your artwork is fab!
I believe she is in thought of ‘really..” or “do I have to that, again…” expression, though, perhaps she maybe slightly irritated. This is how I picture Cinderella to be with a slight variation. Each to their own. Great work. ♥ Love to see more! xx
November 12, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Thank you! I was indeed going for a thoughtful look.
November 12, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Awesome. I’m waiting for rapunzel. Anyone else you planning on?
November 12, 2011 at 6:14 pm
Thanks! But I haven’t come up with any new plans yet
November 12, 2011 at 4:15 pm
I hope you will do the same for Alice, Wendy and Tinkerbell!
November 12, 2011 at 4:18 pm
And Jane?
November 12, 2011 at 4:31 pm
Very beautiful!!!
Please right(?) tangled(>_<)!!
I am japanese…(english spel…:-(
November 12, 2011 at 5:41 pm
Thanks you SO much! She is by far my favorite character and you did a GREAT job. Beautiful! Thanks again!
November 12, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Me and my wife both grew up with Disney movies so we’ve both been really excited following your renditions. Best we’ve ever seen by far. Thanks for giving our child-like imaginations just a little more life.
November 12, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you can appreciate my work
November 12, 2011 at 7:20 pm
Could you do rapunzel? These are great!
November 12, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Thanks! probably one day!
November 12, 2011 at 11:23 pm
What a great project! I can’t wait to see more.
November 13, 2011 at 5:05 am
That’s cool. Could you try at least once male characters like this handsome guy?

November 13, 2011 at 10:14 am
How in the world do you create these? They are amazing. Are you working from real life models wearing costumes? I’m so curious (I perform as princess characters in my own real life).
November 14, 2011 at 12:22 pm
Thanks! No, I’m not working from real life models wearing costumes. I start by creating the faces by picking, mixing, combining and blending features from various real life photos. The costumes are added later in a similar way with more emphasis on digital painting.
November 13, 2011 at 10:41 am
I love this so much! She’s so perfect.
Any chance you’ll be doing Rapunzel in the near future? I would just LOVE to see that. Oh my goodness.
Your work is breathtaking, please keep it up.
November 14, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Thank you! Not sure about the near future, but will definitely try to find time for her one day!
November 13, 2011 at 7:12 pm
She’s definitely my favorite so far!
November 14, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Glad you like it!
November 13, 2011 at 7:39 pm
omgsh thats amazing shes my favorite disney princess you did well
November 14, 2011 at 3:07 am
Are you going to make their men real too? That would be sweet! I love all of these so keep them coming!
November 14, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Don’t think I will, I am afraid! Thanks though
November 16, 2011 at 1:18 am
I think they’d look awesome, but do what you do these are incredible.
November 14, 2011 at 5:36 pm
She’s beautiful. Congratulation.
November 14, 2011 at 6:02 pm
she is gorgeous! those lips! wow!!! those eyes!!! beautiful!
November 14, 2011 at 10:28 pm
Your Disney Real Life renditions are simply superb. They just blew me away at how life like they are. You have an extraordinary gift. You definitely have to do more when time permits. I would love to see what Rapunzel would look like. Also any chance you would do any of the princes or rest of the evil villains? I would love to see Cruella Deville.

November 15, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Thank you! I will definitely look into creating more villains, but I doubt i will be doing the princes.
November 15, 2011 at 2:06 am
Is there anyway I could purchase or print these? I love all the Disney characters! I would love to have a collection!
November 15, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Not at the moment I am afraid…
November 15, 2011 at 4:54 am
bravo!
take your time! im loving the surprises! what other projects are you working on now since the disney is a bit of a side project now from school?
November 15, 2011 at 2:58 pm
i saw your works on yahoo and now im obsessed. you take amazing photos!
November 15, 2011 at 3:00 pm
is it just me or does she look like Diana Agron?
November 17, 2011 at 5:54 am
I just went through all of the cartoon pictures and compared them too what you drew and realized that you are soo right, this is definitely what they would look like in real life. And great job on cinderella, I feel like she mightve been the hardest because when i google imaged the pictures, i didnt see many facial specific things to go off of that the other disney characters had. Great work, cant wait to see what you got next.
November 17, 2011 at 3:04 pm
Yeah, that’s why it took me a while to get to Cinderella. I was more drawn towards characters with stronger features that I was inspired to portray. And thank you so much for the comment
June 1, 2012 at 12:06 am
It DEFINITELY isn’t just you. I totally agree, and noticed that right away.
November 15, 2011 at 8:24 pm
CAN YOU DO RAPUNZEL NEXT?!!! i would be soooo happy if you do
November 15, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Not sure if I am gonna do her next, but definitely one day!
November 16, 2011 at 8:42 pm
AMAZING!!!! I love these pictures. Who will you be doing next?
November 17, 2011 at 3:04 pm
Thanks! I haven’t started working on anyone else yet, but Rapunzel seems to be a common request…
November 18, 2011 at 1:57 am
That would be a lot of hair.
November 17, 2011 at 2:26 pm
You did this in photoshop? Did you manipulate an already existing picture of the character or a real person or both? or did you start from scratch?
November 17, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Yes, I did this in photoshop. I don’t really work with existing pictures of the characters. I use various pictures of real life people and then take elements from those to work on and manipulate in Photoshop. In a way you could say its from scratch since I don’t start from an existing composition, but work towards a vision of my own.
November 18, 2011 at 5:58 pm
I’m surprised no one has asked for Ariel. That’s my pick since you’ve done the others I like already. or Alice?
November 18, 2011 at 7:09 pm
That’s because she has already been done
November 18, 2011 at 11:34 pm
I missed her. Where? Yes, this makes me lame.
November 18, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Beautiful! I vote Rapunzel now!!
November 18, 2011 at 9:28 pm
I love your work and would love to see more in the future. Especially Alice
November 19, 2011 at 2:04 am
This is amazing! I’m really looking forward to Rapunzel! She’s one of my favorite characters.
November 19, 2011 at 4:32 am
You are awesome!!!! It so “REAL”, Maybe next time do some
” 3D” Pic…..wait you pic~~~
November 19, 2011 at 1:13 pm
So cute!
November 19, 2011 at 2:08 pm
te felicito por tu trabajo, es verdaderamente maravilloso.
un saludo
November 20, 2011 at 4:21 am
Absolutely amazing work! I especially enjoy this one. Thanks for bringing the beauty of Disney’s princesses to life.
November 20, 2011 at 9:01 am
Absolutely stunning as always, Jirka! Do you have a G+ page, if I may ask?
November 21, 2011 at 6:40 am
what are your next disney projects? can’t wait to see more of your work.
November 21, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Your work always amazes me. I actually do have a request for other characters that don’t get too much attention. One of them would be Princess Kida from the movie Atlantis.
I don’t actually know if you’re only doing princesses, but it would be awesome if you did Wendy, from Peter Pan. Then there’s Alice in Wonderland, Jenny from Oliver and Company, Jane from Tarzan, and Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. I know that you often do manipulation at a certain age range, but I just hope that you’ll put these in mind.
November 22, 2011 at 9:49 am
She’s lovely! When will you have Rapunzel as your next work, Sir?
November 24, 2011 at 4:51 pm
Thank you! As soon as I have time to finish her. Might take a while though!
November 22, 2011 at 1:53 pm
[...] finlandais en design, Jirka Väätäinen, donne vie aux princesses de Disney dans ces manipulations de photos ridiculement incroyable. Il [...]
November 24, 2011 at 10:28 am
She looks a bit like Dianna Agron
November 25, 2011 at 6:42 am
Princes! And gowns! I would love to see them dressed up! How bout some more
Evil too!
November 27, 2011 at 1:47 am
Woah. Simply stunning. I’m always blown away by your work. And Cindy’s no exception.
Amazing job.
November 28, 2011 at 12:48 am
Looks amazing! How about Rapunzel, or perhaps Jane from “Tarzan?” That would be incredible.
November 30, 2011 at 3:48 am
Aww Cindy looks so pretty here. She kind of looks like a younger Grace Kelly too.
December 1, 2011 at 8:30 pm
you look like you took a picture from jessica biel and grace kelly…..why dont you create ur own women instead of copying and pasting images togather….ur not very original
December 1, 2011 at 9:07 pm
I have not referenced either of those people. This is just my way of doing things.
February 22, 2012 at 9:23 pm
Hehehe, @Ishtah: I don’t see both in this image. You know, when you combine and create something, it always turns out to look like something that is already there. I mean, most plants are green, but each one is an original creation. Just sayin’
December 15, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Vastaa mun mielikuvaani!
December 16, 2011 at 3:55 pm
looks a bit like Christina Applegate
December 17, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Prince Charming P L E A S E ! ! !
December 23, 2011 at 9:24 pm
To me this is hands down Jennifer Garner. I love these princesses! Great job! Fun to guess whose body parts are whose. :]
December 29, 2011 at 8:01 pm
This is probably my favorite one. She looks so thoughtful. Amazing!
December 29, 2011 at 8:18 pm
I love how she embodies the character of Cinderella: gentle, humble, and beautiful. Great job!
December 30, 2011 at 12:22 am
Amazing!
December 30, 2011 at 4:04 am
All the princesses look AMAZING!!! I love your work!
December 30, 2011 at 8:28 am
Diana Agron, are you in there? So beautiful!
I definitely vote Jane from Tarzan, and seeing the men would be wonderful too! This is a fantastic set for your portfolio, truly amazing!
December 30, 2011 at 11:48 pm
she’s beautiful! like all of them
what about fern from charlotte’s web?
January 1, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Thanks! I don’t think I am familiar with that character though!
December 31, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Even without the smile I think you captured a deeper side of Cinderella. The side that thinks lol, she looks a bit pensive like her thoughts are so complicated we could never figure them out. At least that’s what I think haha and she still looks so sweet. Love it
January 3, 2012 at 11:19 am
Jennifer Garner and Rachel McAdams look-alike..
January 4, 2012 at 6:10 am
hello from Japan.
so amazing and beautiful!
i want to see another pictures of cinderella!
i hope you will upload them
January 5, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Hello, and thank you! Unfortunately, I won’t be doing several version of Cinderella, or any other character for that matter. But I hope I can find time for some new unique characters in the future!
January 15, 2012 at 2:11 am
Beautiful! I would LOVE to see Kida, or Tinkerbell! Oh, and of course, Alice
Oh! Oh! And Ariel’s sisters along with Jane from Tarzan!!!!
January 19, 2012 at 4:18 pm
i would like to know whose pictures did you use for this because she kinda looks like diana agron and a hint of jennifer garner.
January 19, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Neither Diana or Jennifer were the inspiration here. In fact, this is one of the ones where I have not been heavily inspired by particular celebrities – it was more about working towards achieving my vision of the character.
January 25, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Amazing work! Perfectly depicted! It’s funny how I can see some Kim Basinger in there… Perfect my friend!
January 28, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Wow.. so beautiful how did you do that? i thought they were actually real people
so awesome! love disney! thank you for bringing it to more to life i have see all of your others just one word..Beautiful keep up the amazing work! and good luck for the future
February 2, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Thanks
They are a combination of various techniques, photo manipulation, digital painting etc.
March 16, 2012 at 11:41 am
Her face looks a lot like Renee Zellweger’s.. A lot.
But you did an amazing job! I’m very curious to see Alice, since that’s my favourite Disney movie..
March 22, 2012 at 4:39 pm
This one is my favorite, beautiful!
March 22, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Jane, I agree. She´s Renees look-a-like.
March 22, 2012 at 10:16 pm
She reminds me of Quinn Fabray from Glee! I believe the actress’ name is Dianna Agron.
March 24, 2012 at 5:35 am
She has a resemblance to Taylor Swift. Or is it just me? Love your artworks ♥
March 25, 2012 at 12:18 am
My vote has to be for Cinderella. With lips like Rebecca Romijn.
Out of curiosity, did you draw inspiration from Rebecca for Cinderella?
March 26, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Thanks! Nope, I have not consciously thought of her here
March 27, 2012 at 8:21 am
beauty, classic, but looks real.. love it..
March 28, 2012 at 9:27 pm
she looks like jennifer garner to me!
April 13, 2012 at 6:23 am
She looks like Dianna Agron (Quinn on Glee).
May 25, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Looks like Juliette Lewis
September 29, 2012 at 2:51 am
She looks like Rachel McAdams!! Holy cow.
October 11, 2012 at 10:45 pm
Thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful pieces of art. I love my Disney Princess, my favorite is Cinderella and you have done an amazing job on all of them. I also enjoyed Snow White, Aurora, & Ariel. Tinkerbell’s dress was so cool and the colors you used in Rapunzel, wow! I hope you continue to do what you want in your art, not what other people tell you. Artist tell their own story, that’s what makes art interesting! Good luck and thank you, M.K.
January 23, 2013 at 12:02 pm
Thank you! Your comments mean a lot
November 14, 2012 at 2:04 pm
WOW!! Looks like Kate Bosworth!!!!!
April 15, 2013 at 1:34 pm
totally dianna agron.
