I like her pose, the way her body is angled is so adoring.

It's pretty lovable if you ask me.
TLM is probably one of my favorite classic Disney movies, along with Peter Pan. :] Keep drawing Ariel!!!

Peter Pan is great, I never really notced how great the animation and story telling was until I watched it thru for the first time about a year ago lol I hope Disney can start doing 2D animation again and be successful, it's time for a 2nd golden age!
A lot of people don't realize but TLM was the beginning of Disney's 1st golden age in animation; it's because of TLM that Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, etc have those musical numbers. Howard Ashman, the director of TLM, was originally a broadway director before he was hired for TLM. He thought that making the songs like musical numbers people would enjoy it and see it as something fun, not just a cartoon. It also helps that because Disney hadn't made a fairy tale since Sleeping Beauty, the production team worked extra hard to make everything perfect, trying to make something "that fit comfortably on the shelf" with the classics such as Peter Pan, Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty.
A fun fact, it took about 2-3 years to create the storm scene in TLM both animation wise and special effects. If you look closely the next time you watch it it's not hard to believe, the detail is incredible. Too bad it goes so unoticed, probably because it's so dark.

I know that Disney is going back to 2-d animation, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see if their next cartoon is successful.
Huh, I didn't know that. What a cool little factoid. On both TLM things. I love that movie.

Thank you!! It's my favorite from the show, though I agree about Ursula's songs, I love how wickedly witty she is.
Hm, I don't know if I'll get back to this one though I'd relaly like to. I'll have a picture of her and the statue tho someday for sure.

I think you did a great job on this! The Eric statue looks just like the one in the movie! It even has his eyes! *dies of corny*
And the Ariel is nice too, I like how she is in your semi-realistic style!

MacGregor In reply to daveizoid [2008-02-25 15:36:00 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! (I love how cheesy this scene was with her and the statue..so teenage girl, but so true XD I think we can all admit we've had our magazine cut-out of our own 'Eric' at some point in our lives..)
I've tried drawing Ariel in the classic Disney way, but i always manage to completely mangle her :/
Oh! I was in this comic shop the other day and saw that there's a wierd manga out called KilalaPrincess (or something like that) and It looks similar to the Kingdom Heartsmanga(well, same artist?) It's about a girl in anime style who travels to the disney princess' worlds I think? Anyway, the princesses are drawn perfectly in Disney style and in the 3rd issue coming out Ariel is the star! I'll have to see it in person before i get it jsut to make sure there's enough ariel, but they did pretty good on her in the Kingdom Hearts manga. If you see it in stores you should check it out! If i manage to get a copy I'll try to post pictures

AAH! I saw that online some where. Japanese people are so good at copying things like that. I'll have to check out that volume when it comes out! What is it with the Japanese and their obsession with Disney.... ?

MacGregor In reply to daveizoid [2008-02-28 01:34:30 +0000 UTC]
I think it's the other way around since Disney is such a big($$$) company..they're always looking for new ways to "branch out"($$$) lol
But yeah, the art is so awsome since it's like the original but..all new haha
