Description
Disney mermaids are fun as hell to draw and I'll forever be that little 8 year old girl who wants to be Ariel when I grow up (but a slightly less naive and stupid version)... but dudes the ocean's a tough place. There's sharks and creepy things no one wants to think about and oil spills and shit... mermaids need to be a little more prepared.This one's mildly prepared. There's a sword. Right there. And some stuff in some pouches. Maybe magic. Who the hell knows. I don't even remember drawing this.
(BTW I know, red hair and green tail. But no, not supposed to be any version of Ariel whatsoever)

lol, love your siggy. I actually stared at it for a bit going "what the hell kinda algebraic equation is this?!?" before it dawned on me. Then I actually had to say it aloud to be sure.

Hahaha thank you! That's pretty funny. It confused my sister too, so don't feel bad.

I'd have never said it was an ariel... I would say it look like you O.o

Yep, I was the one who always wanted to be a mermai...man too.
I guess being an Ocean Engineer is the closest I could get. Though after studying such a place, yes just one sword may be a bit defenseless of you.

she looks like the type who'd start the "mermaids against oil spills and off shore drilling" campaign and protest with signs then do some kind of guerilla tactic to get off-shore oil banned

Nice! She looks ready to fight!
-and that mention about fighting and the oil spilling make me think, I don't know why, about "Capitan Planet"

I didn't think Ariel at all. Her top reminded me of Atlantis though. I'll have to show this to my little girl. She'll love it!

Dude, didn't you ever play Kingdom Hearts? [link]
Ariel can be kick-@$$ when she wants to.

Only when the game has the party fight. She doesn't do all that much in the cut scenes.

i think if ariel had that sword with her when ursela (sp) was being all "big and bad" the final fight would've been a bit easier XD

Nice.
But I can't help but think that the tail fins are somehow the wrong way round. Oh well, it's awesome anyway.

I like this. And in the post-Liefeld age, a belt with that few pouches barely raises an eyebrow.

She looks really cool! I think you're right about mermaid's needing to be prepared. Very nice.

Ariel would never be that bad ass. This is cool

Great stuff, though maybe merman are better associated with spear.

She looks like a steampunk mermaid.

aaah...
finally! a mermaid thats actually prepared to deal with the eldritch horrors of the briny depths!

Awesome. I love the hairstyle and that the top is actually a top instead of just a seashell bra or sommat. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'll admit I did kinda think it might've been an alternate universe Ariel at first lol.
Diggin' the design though :]
In the ocean yeah you need slightly better protection than a couple starfish or shells
Bein' a sea dweller's dangerous business!

A bone sword would be more useful, the iron gets oxidated in water XD

Let's pretend that's shiny bone that just LOOKS like metal.
