Reblog from my Tumblr account HERE .Art Print Available HERE.
Buy the necklace pendant HERE.
Ariel, The Little Mermaid.
So, I've been obsessed with Alphonse Mucha and 50s Pin Up recently, and this is the result. I may do more. It's certainly a style I could get used to!
I chose to surround Ariel with Lotus flowers because they represent rebirth. I wanted the whole thing to come out bluer but green just came about naturally. I guess it makes sense, considering the rebirth theme anyway
Hope y'all like it!

I can't help but wonder if you are adverse to giving out inked version of it for others to color?

Gorgeous piece, I love the way you coloured it!!And also the Art Noveau references!! It would have been nice if, instead of goldfishes, there were little Flounder-like fishes

Haha that would have been cool! Darn i should've done that! I blame my laziness, tbh, just 'cause I can draw goldfish without a reference, lol. Glad you liked it though

Like i said in my comment, I'm really into Alphonse Mucha at the moment so all his work helped feed the inspiration for this piece! But if your asking, I had no specific reference image to work from, though I referenced my own hands and feet for the anatomy

This is one of the most gorgeous Ariel fanarts I've ever seen~
The way you combined colors, and the way you combined styles is really splendid!
Very lovely addition of the little fishes and the lotus flowers <3 It combines Ariels mermaid history and her human present perfectly!
The hair looks perfect and such beautiful job on the dress! Very nice how you did all the folds in it~ Gorgeous eye for detail!
You should try more in this style~~!

Thank you so much! I'm actually glad you noticed the folds in the fabric because usually I suck at that, but this time I spent a little more time to observe the way fabric folds and I think it's made a big difference. I do hope to do a few more pieces like this

Ah references and observing are the best way to overcome difficulties we have when making art <3
I hope to see more of this style soon~!

I love how you've treated her hair. It's a little more realistic but still whimsical and flows. The color choice is a really nice compliment for her. The fish are a great touch too. This is beautiful.
