Artist's Comments

A commission for persoconchii. She wanted a fairy tale Little Mermaid (not Disney's) with lilies. To me the Little Mermaid was kind of a slip of a thing... (she turns into foam afterall) and I wanted to get that feeling in the drawing and the blue behind her.

I like the delicate lines and colors. Very like water or sea mist.

You know what it's like... new job, all that paperwork. I think it's down the back of the settee. I did have a quick look, I found a pen, a sweet, a bus ticket, and er... have you met the wife?
:iconmerillian:

Ah, sea foam. Aren't lilies for mourning? like "lay a lily on their grave?"
:iconatealeaf:

Aw...yeah I always though of the little mermaid more like this myself. I grew up on this really old japanese anime version of the little mermaid that portrayed her more like this and included the Hanz Christian Anderson sad ending.

Not that Disney's little mermaid wasn't fun but my mermaid always dove off the ship, turned into foam and had her soul ascend into heaven.

(getting back to the picture) I really love the softeness and almost old fashioned photo quality of the faded image. And you can really feel her anguish even with most of her face turned away.
