Rapunzel, Cinderella, and More Gear Up For Fairy Tale Battle Royale

Artist イナ (Google Translate tells me that’s “Ina,” but… well, it’s Google Translate) draws fairy tale characters equipped with weapons to defeat their baddies and (one presumes) each other in her series Fairy Tale Battle Royale. I think we all know why Mulan’s not here: She’d win too easily. Hansel and Gretel might prove a challenge, though. Rapunzel not so much. Her hair mace looks awesome, but it’d weigh her down far too much to be of any practical use.

I almost don’t want to know how she does it, as it would ruin the mystique. Her artistic renderings of superheroes and fairy tales are behind the jump, plus a bonus Star Wars: The Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Other pieces and in-progress shots can be found on her Flickr page; prints of Little Red Riding Hood, Alice in Wonderland, and Beauty and the Beast are available on her Etsy shop.
