LOOK: Artist shows us what 12 Disney villains would look like in real life

If you grew up on Disney, the mere sight of Snow White’s Wicked Queen or 101 Dalmatians’ Cruella de Vil was probably enough to send chills down your spine as a child. Artist Jirka Väätäinen has taken some of the most iconic Disney baddies and turned them into life-like illustrations, and the results are both awesome and terrifying, as

Mother Gothel (Tangled)

Does mother really know best?

Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

Quasimodo's master was already frightening enough as a cartoon. Seeing this life-like rendering is simply chilling.

Jafar (Aladdin)

Jirka's rendering of Jafar looks just as devious as his cartoon counterpart.

Prince Hans (Frozen)

It's the so-called "nice guys" that you have to watch out for!

Cruella de Vil (101 Dalmatians)

"If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will
To see her is to feel a sudden chill..."

Ursula (The Little Mermaid)

Take a cue from the fabulous sea witch and "don't underestimate the importance of body language."

Vanessa, Ursula's alter-ego (The Little Mermaid)

Don't be deceived by her good looks, she's not what she appears to be.

Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)

"No one plots like Gaston, takes cheap shots like Gaston
Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!"

Hades (Hercules)

Probably one of the most charming and endearing bad guys in the Disney universe, Jirka's interpretation of the Greek god of the dead still has that mischievous spark in his eye.

Captain Hook (Peter Pan)

Peter Pan's swashbuckling nemesis is much more menacing in non-cartoon form!

Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)

This interpretation does justice to one of the most iconic Disney villains of all time.

Wicked Queen (Snow White)

Just as terrifying and beautiful as the original.
