Disney, let's face it, aren't exactly consistent in their current worship of Princesses.
Kida has to feel a bit pissed. A bona fide royal heir to an empire, she gets pretty short shrift from the Princess-spruikers.
I'm sure Disney could produce reams of market research showing that it's Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine and Cinders that little girls want. And if Kida's 'warrior princess' stylins just aren't pretty enough, well hey, that's business, I guess.
But I say they aren't trying hard enough. What would Kida look like if she was redesigned to conform to the other Princesses' standard of prettiness?
Something like this, I imagine.
I know this does a gross disservice to Kida as a character, but couldn't that be said for all the other Princesses as well?
I plan to do a picture of the 'forgotten princesses' - Disney gals who have the bona fide royalty but are left out of the Princess club.

Still, she does look pretty as oe of the "princess" stero types, but I still prefer her as her warrior girl self. She's a kick butt awesome chich... Why do Disney have to try and make girls look stereo typical to the world? Can't they let girls try to base of more stonger woman besides those like Ariel and all that?
Sorry, ranting... Wonderful art to make Kida look like one of the regular princesses.. she's very beautiful.
This is absolutely beautiful. The glowing tattoo and shimmery, sheer fabric of her sleeves softens this a lot. I actually like her typically wild look in the movie, myself, because she looks stronger and more robust than the usual DIsney princesses in hoop skirts and upsweeps.
I can't wait for the Princess and the Frog movie coming out this year. I'm painting her character on my daughter's wall.
