This is something every Marvel and Disney fan can enjoy, and for lack of a more eloquent thing to say... so epic...
I find that so many people, if they were to do a Marvel/Disney crossover, instantly put Merida as Hawkeye. While I have no problem with that at all, this is actually cooler. Mulan is and continues to be one of my favorite princess. Unlike her Disney sisters of yesteryear, she fights and believes in herself. Originally she doesn't fit in as the normal mold of women in her society, never much one for arranged marriage or being sub-servant. She, to me, was the original Merida. Both their stories are similar in the sense that it's about stepping outside of yourself and what you're expected to be
Your anatomy looks great, and all proportionally sound. The arms look a little too skinny for me, but that's my only real woe. The expression is kind of haunting and intimidating, not at all Disney. However, I still love it. In reality, Mulan isn't so much of a princess as a warrior, and that to me is the face of a warrior. As for her attire, I appreciate that you stuck true to the Disney design, but I think I would've liked some sort of nod to Hawkeye's really cool super suit. The picture, while I see the Marvel in it, could also just be interpreted as Mulan holding a bow and arrow.
Overall, I really enjoy this work, and now I'm off to see the rest of your series. This work is fantastic and I'm glad to find an artist as great as you are.

I really love this piece. Mulan happens to be one of my favorite Disney princesses, and I'm very proud of the way you portrayed her. Unlike most, which show her as more of a damsel or a sexual icon, you caught her true personality in her expression and stance and attire; a true warrior. I also happen to like the fact that you added a flower- a nice little feminine touch, and it reminds me of one of the first and one of the last scenes in the movie. However, there are a few technical things I would like to address. First of all, I agree that it could use a bit more shading in some areas, and a tad more texture on the clothing would be nice. Also, it doesn't seem to fit the background well. (I personally would have made it perhaps a snowy mountain backdrop) But, other than those few things, I love it. You have good color, and the arrow in her hand is very realistic. I also absolutely love the bow, and the flower has amazing detail. I wish that I had the artistic skills that you had, and I look forwards to seeing the rest of the Avengers princesses e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Made even more ironic when you realize that Mulan's actor, Ming-Na Wen, is currently starring in Agents of Shield.

It would make more sense if it was Merida. Great job no less.

Hello. I'm trying to learn how to bring more realism into my art. I thought since your work looks like it could jump off the page, you could help me. Where did you learn your technique? Are you self taught? I don't care how long the process towards great art like yours is, I just want to know that I can improve, I don't want my art to be as good as yours, that isn't what I expect. I just want to improve.

You have no idea how happy I am to hear back! I didn't expect you to respond.
Anyway, I've been trying to make more dynamic figure poses, but I can't seem to make any look realistic. They all just look like robots. I'm also having a big trouble with shading. I'm trying to do my art in pencil but I'm trying to get a hold of PaintShop Pro from a friend. Any tips?
It makes me feel nice that there are still people like you willing to share your knowledge. Thank You!

All I can really say is practice, practice, practice.
Draw from life, trace, doodle, sketch, take on projects, anything you can.
When it comes to realism just try to keep in mind the spacing of features and shading. The human body is tough, people follow certain rules proportion and can only move in ways restricted by its form. Muscle and bone only let a person distort their posture so much, but then again people are almost never perfectly rigid and stiff. If your drawing doesn't follow the relatively rigid rules of physiology then your people will look like stiff robots. Studying the biology of people can really help, all you need to do is observe form and keep in mind the major muscles in the arms, legs, and chest.
When shading keep a specific light source in mind and shade consistently across all surfaces.
When doing colored pictures remember that shadows aren't black or grey, but instead they are a darker version of the color the object is.
The shadows on a face are just darker fleshtone than the highlights. Not black and white.

You know, I really wish I could use this as my background on my laptop.
I'm a huge Marvel girl and Hawkeye just happens to be my favorite Avenger. Then Mulan is my favorite princess so this is just the best of both worlds. This piece is absolutely breathtaking. I love it so much.

Thank you for giving her a petite Asian physique and the most wonderful facial expression I've seen on a fictional character interpretation in a while.

Personally I would have had mulan be black widow cause the martial arts background and Merida from brave as hawkeye but this looks good to. I don't know why but I guess maybe Cinderella or snow white as cap and maybe Rapunzel as widow. Cinderella mostly cause she is blond like cap and snow cause she was the first Disney princess like Steve was the first avenger and the costume colors are already really close. and I cant see Cinderella in anything but her blue gown.
