Artist's Comments

what is this? a submission? from me?

in a nutshell, the little mermaid is my favorite movie of all time, and since it came out last tues, I've watched it 4 times now.
I drew this while watching the "Making Of.." featurette on disc 2. what can I say? disney inspires me.

i'm actually very proud of this one. it looks really green because I was playing around with colors to try to make her actually *look* like she's underwater instead of just plastered in front of an oceanlike background. it was really fun playing with colors that i really don't ever use.

I'm also proud because I used no reference at all. Just my own head. I love the lil seahorse. he's a cute one!

wacom intuos 3, pen tool, painter essentials 2.

Ariel (c) Disney
Drawing: me.

(I have the lineart saved if anyone would like to take a stab at coloring it..just note me.)

please full view since the preview piccy is tiny tiny.

That looks great! Ariel and Cinderella are both my favorite Disney princesses. I'm so excited that "The Little Mermaid" is coming out on DVD. :dance::dance::dance:

Ohhh... this is beautiful! You were right about the colour, you got it spot on. She really does look underwater. Gorgeous.

He’s… like fire and ice and rage… he’s like the night, and the storm and the heart of the sun. He’s ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe… and… he’s wonderful.
