Description Ariel and Flounder from Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Took about 10-12 hours to complete.
I'm very proud of the result.
I spent some extra time trying to integrate the characters into the background and paid attention to the lighting.
I had to create a few brushes to use for texture and decoration.
Enjoy!

Why on earth are there so few favorites and comments on this? It's wonderful!

Your interpretation of the characters is perfect, keeping with the style of the originals by adding a slightly more realistic, unique touch to really make them your own. The detail you put in this is incredible- from Ariel's shells and tail to Flounder's fins! It also has so much movement in it with Ariel's flowing hair and the fish swimming in the background. I could go on for ages about this, but for your sake I'll stop here.

So overall, it's a beautiful piece- you should be very proud!

I'm one of those niche artists who gets rarely any attention for a lot of effort

I wanted to mix Disney's style with a little of my own, to achieve a sort of semi-realism look. I'm glad I've managed to do that . This is one of the most complete works I've done, with all of its elements integrated to be one piece.

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate elaborate comments like this!
