As an honorable tribute to the newly released video game 'Fallout 4,' artist Peter Slavik created a series of dark Disney princess illustrations. The images show how each princess would hold their own in the wastelands of a zombie apocalypse.
Snow White is of course trying to nurture the mutated animals that are far more dangerous than any forest creature she has ever encountered. Alice, from 'Alice in Wonderland' is armed with a re-invented shot gun and Rapunzel is beating off massive insects with a frying pan.
These Disney princess apocalypse survivor images show a meaner side to their wholesome characters. Artist Peter Slavik created this series to show his excitement for the new Fallout 4 game. The series also uses the ever-popular theme of recreating iconic Disney characters in new and exciting settings.
