Description
The second preview piece to my Project Ultima: Ariel. The concept behind this is: the Disney princesses, after the events in their films, are living their happily ever afters with their true loves. Happiness, love, and paradise surround them.

But, unfortunately, cruel fate is to befall them. All over their kingdoms an unknown enemy assails them. It brings legions of monsters, undead, fanatics, plagues, berserkers, supernatural forces, and gigantic armored warriors to lay waste to their kingdoms. None of the Disney couples have faced anything like this. The princesses' true loves fight valiantly to defend their homes, but in the end, all are killed by this unknown enemy, their souls sacrificed to the four primordial gods. The princesses, lost and shaken, flee and converge together, saddened beyond belief at the loss of their kingdoms and the deaths of their true loves. Yet hope still remains.

For out of nowhere, eighteen warriors appear, all of them armored and massive. These warriors are the senior commanders of the Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines), and servants of a now-dying Imperium of Man and its eternal master, the God-Emperor of Mankind. Seeing their only hope of salvation and their only chance of revenge, the princesses become the students of these warriors and learn the arts of war and demonology to battle these creatures, of whom the Marines know their true name: Chaos, and its four undying gods: Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch.

Anyways, these submissions I'm posting are only previews for a line of artworks and stories depicting what I just told above. To summarize: Disney princesses live happily ever after, Chaos comes and destroys their kingdoms and true loves; the Princesses, lost and forlorn, learn of the ancient Imperium of Man and become its servants, learning and training for the day they fight for revenge.

So, here's princess number two: Ariel, the former princess of Atlantica, daughter of King Triton and wife to Prince Eric, both of whom died when Chaos demons eviscerated them alive. Wandering alone, Ariel eventually was approached by a warrior in armor of tropic green and bedecked with fire and rock motifs. This warrior was Vulkan He'stan, the Forgefather of the Salamanders. He explained to Ariel the purpose of his coming, which was to train her and the other Princesses to fight against the creatures who had destroyed their happily ever afters. Without a word, Ariel accepted and became He'stan's student.

This is a deliberate attempt by me to combine two elemental attributes: fire and water. Ariel is still dressed in the colors of her elemental home (water) but now bears symbols of fire and dragons to represent her new lineage. Her teacher, Vulkan He'stan, is the Forgefather of the Salamanders Legion, tasked with finding the nine lost relics of Vulkan, their gene-father and Primarch.

The title Ignis Aquae is Latin for "Fire and Water".

This submission is the intro to a series of artworks and stories based from Disney and Warhammer 40k.

The Disney princesses belong to Disney.
The Space Marines belong to Games Workshop.
This artwork and the corresponding stories are mine. Enjoy.
