Back around the turn of the twentieth century, Alphonse Mucha created a lot of such series, particularly of the muses and the seasons.

Larocka84 also has Belle (Beauty and the Beast) as Winter and Pocahontas as Autumn. I'm assuming that Spring is still in the works -- maybe Chicken Little?
My favorite modern set is this almost Chibi-style series by deviantART-ist cippow25, whose whole collection you can check out here.
But most recently, I came across this series, featuring Lucius Malfoy, by artist vimessy. As the final Harry Potter movie is coming out in just a few weeks, it also seems timely:
Pure awesome. I especially love his cane. And now,when you see Malfoy on the big screen, you're going to be imagining that, under his robes, he is wearing his Slytherin banana hammock.
I really love Alphonse Mucha too. So much so, that I'm going to ignore seeing those expansions of his work by others. I know imitation is flattery and all, but ... ugh.
