Description
I wish the face wasn't as cartooney, but the scan was kinda rough so it was really hard to change the lineart. The original picture was smaller but looked weird so I made it into a wallpaper and..it looks worse. HA. whatev.So yeah she's doing what we've all done at one point or another, singing to herself whilst stripping the flowers of their petals, recanting the name of her beloved over and over and over and over...
Ariel the Little Mermaid (c) Disney and Co.

Thank you!
Although I lvoe everything about TLM, I really wish the animation was a little more realistic like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. I mean they were still cartoons but there was something about the way they moved and acted that made you believe. Still, I think TLM had amazing animation- all the movement from being underwater made it so magical.

That's because Walt Disney did those ones The REAL disney stuff pwned ;D I loved Sleeping Beauty as a kid
I didn't like snow white as much because of the woman's voice lol.
But yes, I still love the little mermaid~
it's one of my favorites still

Snow white has a lot of boring parts lol and her voice is..an acquired taste haha but I love her design and the animation is fun with how old it looks.

This is increbily pretty ^^
i do love me some Ariel.
The only bit of critique i could give would maybe be, eliminate the lines in the hair. It would give it more of an art-nouveau feel to it, which is always good.
But its still pretty as is <3

Thank you! I love me some Ariel, too
I've been thinking of redoing this a bit, fixing it up and re coloring and an art nouveau look would be cool! Thanks for suggesting it Now that you mention it I really hate the lines in her hair >.<

I always loved how totally consumed she was in her dreaming, she couldn't even hear Sebastian blabbering on about Triton's rules

I love her pose.. and well, just the whole way you've drawn her. I always thought disney drew her a bit off..
as for the whole picture, I think that instead of pink trailing down perhaps just the rock would be better, sine the pink draws the eye down the picture though nothing is there except the bottom of the pic. It would definitely keep Ariel as the focal point. (just my humble opinion) I love the picture, though.

I think you're right, especially when there's no background to keep you looking up. I'm hoping to re do this once I have the ability to actually finish pictures and finish them well lol
I really miss the animation of the classics like Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. The animation was almost flawless, and the anatomy/flow of the characters..unbelievable! Actually, so believable it was crazy haha
I'eve always preferred more realistic animation opposed to more cartoony, though there have been great cartoony cartoons...

I miss the classic-drawn stuff, too... I did love how they did that forest spirit in Fantasia 2000.

She was drawn beautifully! The constant movement was wonderful.
Come to think of it I haven't seen Fantasia2000 SINCE 2000 I remember liking the whales swimming in the clouds a lot, too.

Ooooohh!! Yes! Large hips! I like that It always bothers me that Disney's princesses are always so tiny tiny bodied.
Her face is lovely and her hair is more flowy and beautiful than the original. =}

MacGregor In reply to carolinejamhour [2008-08-07 05:13:55 +0000 UTC]
I'd love if Disney had a full figured princess! Or at least one who's waist was bigger than her neck
Thanks for the compliment on her hair, I've always loved Ariel's loooong hair and get annoyed when I see it animated as a big red pillow- she's in the ocean Disney! Make it flow!! (though the animation is actually really incredible^^ just thinking about how much work it must have taken to animate an entire movie underwater..yikes!)

nice,If only you give the pink sea weed more texture, less flowers, and make the flowers brighter,
but it general it's perfect.
