Description Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid, all grown up and wielding her daddy's trident. Pencils, inks, and color by me. Brushes by a lot of people, including Thykka, neronin, ShiraOkina (sorry, not all the brush creators put their names on them, so I'm crediting everyone I can).

wouldn't the oldest get the trident? you know she has 5 older sisters right?

We discussed this above. I think either all her sisters would have to have died (perhaps there was a tragic accident at the palace?), or perhaps didn't want the throne for some reason and abdicated. That's assuming that inheritance works under the sea in any way similar to how it works on land.

For some reason, I could only think that this could be set in an alternate universe where she never met Eric and grew up to be the only one left to defend the seas in her father and sisters' absence.

But that's just me

This piece is gorgeous. I do love it.

Thank you.

I guess I didn't put that much though into the backstory of the piece. I just thought it would be cool to draw a few Disney Princesses in my style (rather than aping the animation models), and to have a bad-ass Ariel wielding the Trident.

Real awesome


Though the idea its self, wouldn't all her sisters have to die first?

Um.... maybe? Assuming inheritance works the same under the sea as it does on land, maybe there was a tragic accident at the palace. I mean, why else would Ariel go back to being a mermaid?

Or maybe her sisters didn't want the throne and they all abdicated?
