Description
Finally after a bunch of failed paintings, I completed one I really really love! :]This is slightly inspired by this LOVELY artwork here: It's a beautiful picture and it made me want to draw jellyfish! :] She has a fantastic gallery by the way, check her out!
Oh btw it's not supposed to be Ariel... I get the hair kinda makes it look like her, but I honestly just painted the orange hair because I thought it looked so pretty against the blues. :]
Enjoy!

I have to agree about the thing with the orange hair: It looks just pretty with that background.
the reflections on the jellyfish remind me of soap bubbles - kinda dreamy! <3
... while she's actually in great danger, oh my. (Since jellyfish can be extremely dangerous.)
You just combined cute with dangerous. Congratulations. xD

Lol thank you so much! And yeah I like to think of it as more of a dream than reality, because in reality she would be stung to death! o_o lol! but yeah thank you again

Wow, that's great! I love her face, the gaze she has, the flow of her hair.. Very nice composition! Though, one thing bothers me.. Her legs seem a bit too short.. There's something off. But beside this, it's a wonderful piece! ^^

yeah, I thought it might've been Ariel at first, but now that I look more closely...the presence on this girl just doesn't SPEAK "Ariel". Did that sound funky/wierd/etc.?? But it's VERY balanced. AWESOME JOB!! I love balance in art!

daniellesylvan In reply to DarkRavenrulz [2011-08-27 16:02:43 +0000 UTC]
No, I can totally see what you mean about her not "speaking" Ariel. Ariel is more ambitious and curious, I feel like this girl is more content in innocence. Or maybe I'm looking too deeply into it!
But that's how I feel.
And thank you for the kind comment!

she seems kinda a little lonely to me actually, even though all the jellyfish are around her.
*EPICNESS* YOU'RE WELCOME!

Thank you! I love drawing hair but ahhh this hair was so time consuming to draw because I wanted to make it look like it was underwater! Glad it worked though! Thank you again!

Oh my, that's LOVELY! ^^ That's absolutely beautiful! All the colors work together so beautifully, and the water just looks so pretty. Her face is beautiful, too!
I think this is your best painting ever! I love it! It's really wonderful!

Yay for complementary color schemes. Almost reminds me of a grown up version of ponyo. But I love how you render this piece, with the different textures and the lighting. Very lovely.

Yes, so many people are saying it looks like an adult ponyo! I can see it kind of! It wans't intentional though but I love ponyo so it's a nice comparison! And thank you so much for the comment
I'm glad you liked it!

I love your comment! I like how you can feel the dreamscape aspect of it. To me, she's not LITERALLY swimming with jellyfish (ouch) but this is more of a dream. But out of curiosity, what makes you feel the emptiness? I'd like to hear
Thank you for the comment!

alfamick In reply to daniellesylvan [2011-08-27 21:26:45 +0000 UTC]
Well it has to do with the piece taking piece under water. Normally under water means loneliness and despair but with the colour the girl and the light being behind her. Brings attention to her and makes the feeling of the water on the girl. I'm not saying has is a bad thing I like that this piece creates this feeling for emptiness is a hard emotion to show.

This is a very nice piece of artwork. I especially like how you did the hair and the overall sense of lighting on the character is excellent. Very nicely done.
