Description I've been working on a redesign of Hans Christian Anderson's tale, the Little Mermaid.
Contrary to most depictions of the tale I am basing it off of east India. When I read it there seemed to be a lot of little things that pointed away from Europe so I am creating a world opposite to that. 

Here is the finish for the fifth sister!

I love that the sisters aren't all skinny-minnies, but they're all so beautiful.

I also really love the lacy way you draw and color the fins.

Yes, I was really determined to have different body shapes for EVERYONE. I refuse to just make a bunch of replicas, because that's not how bodies work.

That's a good mind set, and I wish Disney used it. 

DreamWorks seems to have much more variety in the bodies and faces of its female leads.

DreamWorks is so much better than Disney. Don't get me wrong, I love Disney with all of my heart, but three things: Prince of Egypt, Road to Eldorado, How to Train your Dragon. 

Nuff said.

I love Disney too, and I appreciate that Disney paved the way for that kind of animation. But DreamWorks was always willing to take the risks Disney never was, touching on more adult themes, and choosing stories to retell *other* than well-known fairy tales.
