Showing a ‘twisted’ look at the princess characters from [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns), artist Jeffrey Thomas continues to create the popular series, saying he’ll probably create at least another five of them.

His latest macabre masterpiece is Aurora, which he says is his favorite princess of them all.

Deviant Art is the home where Thomas showcases his [Twisted Princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney), and is a place where you can look at the creations of numerous other artists from around the world.

I'm surprised they haven’t heard from Disney on this yet, since they’re usually extremely protective of their properties.
