I love the story of the Little Mermaid. This obsession is no doubt rooted in my childhood visits to my grandma's house, where I would repeatedly watch the movie. My other grandmother also had a copy of The Little Mermaid, but i liked this one a lot better. In this one, ariel was blonde, freckled, hung out with a dolphin, and she died at the end. ...I was a really weird kid.

The VHS vanished suddenly one day, but I never fully forgot about it. Then out of nowhere A CERTAIN FRIEND NAMED CAT OR SOMETHING popped up at school with the old thing on DVD. And we were reunited during a bout of illustrator homework. It dawned on me that between the visuals and the audio, this film was almost the equivalent of stabbing myself to death. And I love it anyway.

Amaya is kind of my own little mermaid, despite the fact that she's not half fish. So i wanted to do a couple of pieces with her, inspired by the old Hans Christian Andersen tale. The little mermaid 2000! *hit with eggs* I won't go into detail on the undercurrents in these since I think it's better for people to draw their own ideas. That and it's dead depressing. Not to mention I have rambled extensively here, and it's time to fly away.

This is gorgeous <3
The emotion in this picture is chilling! So sad an' beautiful at the same time.

I know what you mean about the little mermaid, I loved that movie as well as a child. The one with the blonde Ariel, 'cept she had no name in the story. I've been trying so hard to find that movie, I so wanna watch it again. It's so captivating, just like this picture ^^
