Pulling from influences including retro cartoons and manga, deviantART user Karioks (real name, Kariuki) has put a positively charming spin on Disney's princesses, DC Comics's superheroines and villainesses, plus characters from Darkstalkers, the Final Fantasy Franchise, Scooby Doo, Adventure Time and more. Though the word "cute" can sometimes carry a dismissive or condescending connotation, when applied to Karioks' work, it's high praise. See a selection of the artist's cuter-than-cute character drawings after the cut.
