Description
- Ink on paper, plus lots of digital work in Paint Shop Pro- May 2017
This is my official entry into the Mermaid contest over at
I was torn between Ariel (Little Mermaid) and Syrena (Pirates of the Caribbean). Even though Ariel is one of my favorite Princesses (yes, I'm a grown man and I just admitted that), I couldn't pass up Syrena. The actress who plays her is just too friggin' hot.
So here is my cartoony depiction of the scene in which the "bad guys" attempt to capture a mermaid at Whitecap Bay.I worked on it over the course of a few days. I started with a pencil sketch of the overall composition. Then I went ahead and sketched out the characters, boat, net, and lighthouse. I went over the line work with ink and scanned everything into my computer. The digital coloring came next, and I pieced the images together and added some of the extra effects (light, water, etc). This is usually how my process works. Hours later, I was very pleased with the outcome.
So, yeah. This is essentially mixed media Disney fan art of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Syrena is the mermaid and the guys in the boat are (left to right) Scrum, Cabin Boy, Zombie Quartermaster, and Purser.
Now, where's the rum?

Great action scene, with lots going onΒ and fab detail. Particularly like how all the characters are doing something different. Syrena looks great here and suitably worried!

Honestly surprised there weren't more images of her in the contest.
Like the contrast of the crew above and her below.

Ooo, yay! I was hoping we'd get a Syrena. Lovely job on her, her face looks fantastic. Nice work on her pose as well, great body language.

Thank you! Looking at all the entries in the contest, it appears I'm the only one who drew Syrena. That's too bad, she's such a great character.

I love how you portrayed Syrena! I love the PotC movies, so it's refreshing to see someone take on this character. I didn't think my art was good enough to do it, but yours definitely is!!

I'm not a big fan of the Pirates films, but I love the way you interpreted the scene! The characters, especially the mermaid, are all drawn really nicely! Fantastic job!

Even though I'm no fan of the PotC movie series at all (I've only watched the first one and didn't really enjoy it), I'm still glad that you chose this mermaid and not Ariel. Don't get me wrong, I like the character Ariel and her movie (and the entries on her so far) but any contest entry not focussing on Ariel is welcomed by me, just for the sake of variety.
I don't know Syrena but when I look at your fanart, I think she's beautiful! Her more "natural looking" colours of fishtail and hair make her also look more like natural, if you know what I mean. The setting is quite threatning and dark. Great job here!
