Disney princesses also get in on derby


I'm not a huge fan of the whole Disney princess thing, but I came across collection of disney princesses who are supposed to be derbified. I've previously seen DC and Marvel Superhero derby so hey, why not. This work is by Amanda Robinson. I'm digging her art style.

Okay, so it looks like Disney princesses with skates on, and revealing-er outfits. There's no pads, helmets or anything, and it looks like they're wearing those tall artistic skate boots.

That said, they're not your standard run of the mill princesses. They look like they can kick ass, and I have to say that the derby names are pretty incredible and creative. In a lot of cases it's a combination of the character's name and some pop culture-ish reference, in the way that derby names actually are made. So yeah, I think this gets most props for the awesome names.

You can see the full collection here.
