Description I did this for my wife. I think she is probably the biggest Little Mermaid fan ever.

When I was little, my mother said I watched that movie at least 3 times a day. Even now, she's the only Disney princess I like, I think it's because she's a redhead.

You've done a great job with the light rays, it took me a while to get the hang of it when I did my Tranquil Harbor pieces. [link]

The bubbles look great!

Im enjoying the colours and use of light, especially the downwards pull to the base of the canvas.

well done!

<3 maree.

Nice man! I say you're style of painting makes Ariel look more interesting to me, her expression is a nice change from the norm and the way the surrounding sea is depicted.

Her tail is too fat. There's alot of elegance in this painting til you see the tail.

I agree, she looks like Ariel after she's had about 13 children >_> ...guppies? Tadpoles? Pollywogs?

you've given her a lot more depth of emotion than disney ever did, she looks soft and somewhat sad, melancholy even

Especially appropriate given the original story.

Amoryl In reply to lexxercise [2008-10-29 05:00:01 +0000 UTC]

indeed! but I suppose there's a fair amount one must leave out in order to appeal to the kids and keep their increasingly diminished attention spans focused

No kidding. And I know every good Disney film can't do without a bit of tragedy, but an unhappy ending? Unheard of!

Thanks.

I take it you don't know the context?

Elvandia In reply to IanStruckhoff [2008-10-29 01:12:32 +0000 UTC]

Not exactly much context to that other than lewdness from my angle. I could be wrong but.. ya never know I guess.

I received it, sorry for my ignorance. My husband failed to show me that strip.

Ah, so it's your husband's fault then? Isn't that convenient. I hate people who can't take responsibility and just admit/apologize.

I said I was sorry... he generally keeps me updated but sometimes gets busy. Jeez, take a chill pill man.

Here it is, for those curious:

Ironically, it should be "Where the hell is your vagina?". Although Penny Arcade is very good friends with "fuck", it apparently wasn't invited to this party.

I see now. Unfortunately though, there are just some idiots out there, especially here on DA. I guess my husband forgot to show me that strip. Anyways, please forgive my ignorance.

leafbunk [2008-10-28 23:11:04 +0000 UTC]

Did she frame it and hang it up? I'm sure she was ecstatic to see that you had painted that for her. Nice work! She looks like a more introspective Ariel than the flashy "Oh my goodness a spork!" one in the movie.

It's really cool to see you Traditonal art. Lovely painting!
