Full-time freelance illustrator, small business owner, and costume designer Allison McKenzie lives in Los Angeles, California, USA is a hard-working, busy artist. On Patreon, she's creating art print and sticker packs for well over 100 regular supporters and runs a very successful online shop.

Per her social media presence, you may recognize her as Skirtzzz. Self-described as a "one-woman small business and full-time character illustrator and costume designer," as well as a "Los Angeles wanderer who deeply enjoys hot brown bean water and collecting too many video game shirts."

One of her most incredible and well-known illustrative series had her bringing Disney characters into the Final Fantasy universe. To say that Disney-videogame mash-up was epic would be an understatement so if you haven't seen it before, definitely don't forget to check it out after you enjoy this Disney Raver series the talented LA artist has also created (with enthusiasm, might I add.)

On top of all of that creativity, Allison is also the creator of a webcomic called Event Sky: "An artistic outcast and a humble farmer. One wants fame, adoration, and the finer things, while the other is unabashedly content with a quiet country life. Both of their plans get the shake-up of a lifetime when an otherworldly curiosity presents itself to them..."

How can so much creativity be packed into one, awesome artist? We don't know, but we aren't complaining.

1. Raver Rapunzel from Tangled

"She heard one sick bass drop from her tower, hidden away, and knew she had to find the source. Now she spins every weekend at 10 PM sharp."

2. Raver Aurora from Sleeping Beauty

"Dancing under the name, Briar Rose, Aurora loves sneaking out of her quaint cottage in search of fun, dancing, and if she's lucky, running into her future Prince Charming! "

3. Raver Belle from Beauty and the Beast

Bell gets the party started again as everybody's favorite bookworm!

4. Raver Jasmine from Aladdin

"It's a wild night down in the underground nightclub, Cave of Wonders. Everything is painted in gold and the rooms are decorated with ornate rugs! DJ Rajah is on and playing the best hits throughout all of Agrabah! Jasmine hits the dance floor ready to wash away a stressful day full of pompous suitors and viziers. 

How she hides her new sleeve is beyond me, but I wanted at least one princess in this series to have some tattoos! I went with a rich, warm mural of blues, purples, and reds; showcasing the golden scarab, Cave of Wonders, and a shiny-eyed Abu! "

5. Raver Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame

"The Festival of Fools is the theme for tonight's rave! DJ Clopin and DJali are spinning!

Esmeralda's got a pretty big crush on one of the bouncers there too :')"

6. Raver Shego from KimPossible (TV Series)

7. Raver Meg from Hercules

"For years, Club Olympus and Club Underworld have been competing with each other. Meg finds herself torn on which she prefers, but she really digs the macabre elements of DJ Hades deadly beats."

8. Raver Mulan

"DJ RefleXtion, better known as Mulan (or Ping, for some...) is taking the night off to try spinning over at Club Renaissance- where the most well-known DJs drop the best beats! -and oh my goodness! Is that Ariel and Belle over there dancing!? This place is nuts! Mulan is pretty nervous, but she's got her Cri-Kee charm and lucky knot with her! So! Here goes...!"

9. Raver Elsa from Frozen

10. Raver Ariel from The Little Mermaid

"Time to party it up in The Grotto! This club is SO eclectic! It's decorated with all sorts of thingamabobs and gizmos a-plenty!

Just don't tag Ariel on Facebook guys! Her Dad is on there and would absolutely flip out if he knew she was here!"

11. Raver Tink from Peter Pan

"She's headed to the Never Neverland Rave- she heard DJ Jolly Roger will be there and he's got the best beats, yo."

12. Raver Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas

""The Nightclub Before Christmas"

She's hoping to see Jack tonight, but he's been going to a different club ALL week...he claims DJ SantyCLAWS is way more interesting."

13. Raver Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire

"Ever since she strolled in, DJ Milo has been fumbling with all of his records- relax, dude!"

14. Raver Vanellope from Wreck It Ralph

"If anybody was going to be a Kandi Kid, it'd be the 'candy' kid herself!! I just had to! Hope you can catch a few candy wrapper references I included!"

15. Raver Tiana from The Princess and the Frog

"Finally, off of work and ready to party! Tiana's been looking forward to checking out Club Bayou all week- apparently they have a real alligator there...???"

16. Raver Anna from Frozen

Wikipedia defines a rave as a "dance party at a warehouse, club, or other public or private venues, typically featuring performances by DJs playing electronic dance music." They evolved in the 1980s when European techno music and American house music made their way to dance parties but "raver" style is mostly associated with the early 90s dance music scene when DJs played at illegal events in musical styles dominated by electronic dance music.
