Description
I highly HIGHLY reccomend you also look at the darker version of this, found here: [link]I really like the darker one because it gives a more 'deep water' look (the blue-ish tones) but I used the lighter scan here on DA since her hair just...seems closer to the real painting at this colour.
I swear I feel like I'm hopping on another bandwagon here - since everyone's uploading The Little Mermaid fanart now that the DVD is out. Though mine was actually brought upon by playing the musical levels of Atlantica in KH2 (yes! I DID play those - hush you! The wierd singing and cheesy dance moves gives me more than my weekly quota of amusement! XD).
Ariel's still one of my fave Disney girls - I remember getting into a little tiff with one of my younger cousins since she thought Ariel wasn't all that great! I was trying to convert her, the poor girl. XD Must be wierd when your over-20 cousin is ranting to you about a cartoon character. X3

not weird at all - my friend whose 9 this year must have thought I was a weirdo being 14 at the time and playing dolls with her! I had fun watching my sister play KH2 and shuddering through the songs - she hates disney songs while I LOVE them. kudos for the cute pic of Ariel. Now I want to draw them! Gah! *holds head* inspiration pains!

The Little Mermaid has been one of my favorite movies since as long as I can remember. It's always held a special place in my heart. And when I saw this picture, I nearly exploded. It's beautiful.<333 I love it very much~

Beautiful drawing! Her hair looks so great too, aswell as the bubbles around her. I usually think Lilo is the best of all Disneygirls, (she's so cute! who can resist?) but Ariel is nice to

Wait... the Little Mermaid DVD is out?! *gasps, and runs off to nearest store* I've been waiting quite some time for this to happen X3 huzzah, my year suddenly got so much better! (can't believe I didn't know...)
Anyway, as for picture, gorgeous as always I do love the blue-ish highlights that give it that underwater look. And the wispy strands of hair. And paint splatters... I should try that sometime, bet it'd be fun (at the very least, I should muck around with my paints just for the heck of it, I need practice with them)
Oh, and as for KH2 (just as good a reason for fanart as the dvd, I say ), I kind of wish I could have the japanese version of the game, just for the Atlantica level... the second I heard "under the sea" in japanese, I wanted it XD it still amuses me greatly everytime I hear it. But alas, I'm still yet to even get the english version of the game, and discover the wonders of it all
I'm determined to finish KH1 first (damn Ursula!
). Oh, and my PS2 only plays PAL games, but that's a mere detail X3
Hmm... all this is just enhancing my urge to draw fanart of something... be it Ariel, KH, or both... :3 And sorry for the mini-rant/long comment... got a bit carried away

It would be nice if the two scans could be combined . Darker hair, skin tone, and water, with the slightly lighter flower in the DA version.
I bought this movie on video this summer because I love it, and I've never been able to find it, then just 2 months later it finds it's way to DVD. It made me a very angry mermaid fan lol

I really like both verisions ^_^ Her hair is just gorgeous, I love what you did with it Not to mention the detail on her face, and especially the shine in her eyes! You always do great with fanart, and your own characters ^_^ lol

OMG. LOVE. <3
I thought the sketch was amazing, this finished product is like.. heaven. I love the loose strands of hair thing you did with the paint. The splatters really acted just perfectly, didn't they?! XD
Guh. Soo pretty.

But the darker one doesn't bring out the detail in the hair as nicely. Plus, it looks nothing like the orignal (one of my pet peeves with scanners).

one day they (and by they I mean some mad scientist) will invent a way of perfect scanning.

I like the hair.
But in the game KH2
I really hate hearing the music...I just try to pass it so I dont have to hear it...Ursala's song is the best by far in that game ><
