After His The Mandalorian & Grogu Poster, 5 Disney IPs Hajime Isayama Should Tackle Next

Hajime Isayama, the acclaimed creator of Attack on Titan, recently illustrated an official promotional poster for Disney’s The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is a story about an armored bounty hunter. Hajime Isayama is globally recognized for his highly detailed illustrations in the manga Attack on Titan, and his drawing an illustration for the Star Wars franchise is a welcome surprise.

In the new poster, we can see Din Djarin performing mid-air maneuvers that evoke the feeling of Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) gears, thanks to this art style. This poster conveys Isayama’s unique style, and we can’t help but feel he should draw more for other Disney IPs. Let’s dive into other IPs that would look awesome in the Isayama Art style.

1 Pirates of the Caribbean’s Nautical Horror

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is full of curses, undead people, and sea monsters like the Kraken. There are probably only a few artists in the world who are more proficient than Isayama at drawing biological anomalies and grotesque anatomy.

If he were to draw characters like the skeletal crew of the Black Pearl or the mutated, marine-infused sailors serving under Davy Jones, the focus would shift entirely to nautical horror. Isayama’s art style brings the harsh elements that are often only talked about to life. If he ever made art for this franchise, even the maritime curses would look painful.

2 The Lion King’s Predatory Realism

Isayama’s approach to drawing combat and anatomy is grounded and heavy. Furthermore, due to the presence of titans such as Cart Titan, Jaw Titan, and Beast Titan, Isayama is well-versed in drawing non-human characters. Rather than utilizing clean, expressive animal designs, Isayama’s design would look more raw and realistic.

Furthermore, the final confrontation between Simba and Scar would benefit a lot from his art style. The fight could be depicted as a desperate struggle between two heavy animals, emphasizing the predatory realism of the entire thing.

3 Sleeping Beauty’s Monstrous Transformation

In Sleeping Beauty, there is a monster transformation that is often overlooked for the horror it represents. In the climax of the story, Maleficent transforms into a massive black dragon. Isayama has spent over a decade drawing giant, flesh-and-bone creatures and illustrating the violent process by which humans turn into them.

He could depict Maleficent’s transformation in the same way he’d depicted the transformations of titans, specifically of Eren in his early days when he was more raw.

4 Alice in Wonderland’s Psychological Horror

Alice in Wonderland explores themes of altered sizes, distorted realities, and irrational characters. This story has been adapted many times in various forms, especially in manga. In Attack on Titan, Isayama often used extreme perspectives and distorted camera angles in his panels to convey a sense of helplessness. As Alice shrinks or grows, Isayama’s art would emphasize the terrifying loss of control and proportion.

The people of Wonderland would also fit his distinct style. By applying his detailed shading and vacant, unblinking facial expressions, characters like the Mad Hatter or the Queen of Hearts would look quite unsettling.

5 Avatar’s Beautiful Environment Combined With Tech

In Avatar, there is a direct conflict between aliens with sticks and stones and humans with futuristic weaponry. Isayama has significant experience drawing the intersection of both – how the ODM gear fits in the world full of titans. The human military in Avatar uses mecha suits that would look perfect in Isayama’s large-scale art style.  

Furthermore, placing this technology in the vibrant world of Pandora alongside bright blue aliens would create an amazing contrast unique to this franchise.
