Description
It's Eric, before you get mad at me XDHad some traditional drawing time when the weather was less computer friendly.
I felt like drawing a mermaid and since I lack mermaid characters myself it ended up a more adult-looking version of Ariel (Disney's little mermaid).
And I thought it could be like an alternate story version, if Ursula had not been there or if Ariel had just decided not to trust her. Ariel did have a plan on getting Eric's attention in the movie. What if that had succeeded and it would could have been a movie about how they had a secret relationship for many years? Trying to figure out how to make it work or how they could be together...
I don't know! I was just musing around while drawing this very unrelated picture! XD

I think Saban took that angle of the secret relationship when they distributed the anime version of the Little Mermaid series (the one with a blonde mermaid heroine named Marina and her seahorse pal whose name I forget).

I love the scales on her tail. This is a beautiful piece. I think that the plot would be more interesting if Ariel had decided not to trust Ursula.

I absolutly love your idea! And the picture looks awesome!
It feels like your idea/thought for this side story has a bit more "adult" feel to it. Hiding their releationship and trying to make it work even though they are of different speices.

Thank you!
That was exactly what I was musing about, spot on!
But a more "adult" movie probably isn't coming soon from Disney cartoons XD

Okay, now that I'm on my laptop, I can leave a REAL comment:
Those roses sinking down to her are so romantic and I love how you can tell they are coming from Eric aboard the ship. I love the locket, a nice little gift for a girl who doesn't want others to know about her romantic liaison with a man of a different culture. Her hair is beautiful and I love how it is moving in the water's currents.
This is all around beautiful, actually.
I envy your water drawing skills. It looks so real!

Thank you for the lovely feedback!
You managed to spot the whole idea on the "elements" in the picture with roses, locket and all^^
Thank you very much!
You are too kind! The water was pure experimenting with the colours^^
