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.

I love the simplicity of this piece. The colors and lines really seem to pop.
I also think this would look really nice hanging on someone's wall.
Great job!

Thank you I made two layers of the same line art and half blurred the bottom one which gives it a dreamy glaze but oddly makes the top layer of lineart pop more like you said.

i think what draws me to your ariel artwork is how different it is. I mean, you still have that cartoony look to it, but its more stylized and pretty, and i LOVE the way you do her hair and face. It gives her more depth

Thanks so much! That's exactly what I hope shows through; I obviously want her to look like Ariel but I want all my love for her to show through each work as it's what fuels me to make them^^

Thank you! I really like these colors, I've never liked Ariel with an evergreen tail. Her tail is actually blue-green, not green. Disney had to make an entirely new color paint for her animation (fittingly named 'Ariel' )

If you get a chance, grab a copy of the Special Edition Little Mermaid, it has GREAT extra features with interviews and both past and present making-ofs. A worth-while buy for sure

I'm really, really digging the hair - I love flowy-underwater-hair.
The tail's pretty snazzy too! The best thing about this is the fact that you can tell automatically that it's Ariel, but you made it your own.

MacGregor In reply to KerryDale [2008-05-28 04:40:03 +0000 UTC]
Thanks you! I'm really glad she's recognizable without being exact Disney style. I looove hair so much XD lol it's bizzare but something about beautiful hair is..beautiful

I hate it when I look for Disney fanart and all I see are exact replicates of the Princesses or the Heroes. I think people need to add their own personal flair to it.
lol I know! Hair's just... silky.

Or when you see the exact same pose you've seen on all their toys for the past decade!! lmao, Disney needs to put out some new poses themselves.

KerryDale In reply to MacGregor [2008-06-01 05:22:01 +0000 UTC]
Oh! I know!!
Ariel's always got one arm raised, one lowered and her tail's always in the same position! Jeez.
Luckily, The Little Mermaid 3 will be their last direct-to-DVD. I honestly think they start need to make new classics to remember instead of making mediocre sequels. (I'm still gonna check out TLM 3 lol)
I've still to see Cinderella 2-3, Lion King 1 1/2, Lady and the Tramp 2, Fox and the Hound 2... the list goes on.

MacGregor In reply to KerryDale [2008-06-02 02:03:46 +0000 UTC]
I'm sooo glad they're stopping these dumb DVDs though TLM3 looks GREAT!! obviously not a classic but a well deserved ending(even though it's about the begining lol) and looks like it'll fit in any TLM fan's collection. I sa a list of all Disney/Disney+Pixar productions scheduled thru 2012 and they have some good ones planned! One I'm especially interested in is a Disney+Pixar called the Bear and the Arrow or something like that..google it! Rapunzel sounds great but I really really REALLY can't wait until the Princess and the Frog comes out! Disney's returning to traditional 2D animation and has the same writers/directors from TLM, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and I think MAYBE Lion King. Actually I have no idea about Lion King lol.
Cinderella 3 was actually really cute^^ never saw 2 tho. Ariel voices the mom in Lady and the Tramp 2 but I haven't seen it in yeeears. Peter Pan 2 was cute but only medioker, still a good watch.
AH! I'm in a Disney mood now^^

Yeah!! I just wanna see it cause The Little Mermaid was, is and allways will be my favorite Disney movie.
I'm gonna have to check those ones out then! Thanks!
Ah - I've been in a Disney mood for the past 2-3 months.

Oh, pretty hair whispy-ness () I love how you've given her a bit of a different body-type than she normal has. No, she's not fat and certrainly not chunky, but there's something in the way you've drawn her that makes her unique. For instance, her arms aren't as skinny (hey....they're actually normal sized!) And her hips (er....tail) is bigger. The big hips balance her out nicely since she's got a lot of long hair. The way she's postioned herself also looks very "watery" and "smooth."
Amazing job

Thanks so much!
Yeah I've always liked that "butter milk" body build, a natural layer of cush to the body, it's totally natural. I've always liked the look of mermaids with wider hips, not sure why but maybe like you said about balancing the hair, thankfully it's not as big as many bouffants of the 80s^^

Thank you My favorite aspect of TLM is how everything's always moving. Such incredible animation for that. Haha, actually, one of the only reasons I watched Pocahontas as a kid was to watch her beautiful flowy hair XD

I really like the pose and the way you draw her. Not so skinny as in the movie.
I also like the curve of her lips, really nice done!

Thanks so much
Although I think she's beautiful in the movie, I've always favored a more "butter milk" body especially for pampered princesses..all those fancy deserts and treats
