Description

I don't know about you, but I found Ariel pretty darn attractive when she was wearing that sail as a dress :)  The Farrah Fawcett poster was very memorable and iconic vfwblog.com/wp-content/uploads… , but I wasn't much of a Charlie's Angels fan so I put my favorite Disney gal in her place :D

While first sketching this, I had Ariel in the original Farrah Fawcett pose with her left arm up and her hand in her hair.  As much as I'd like for it to be obviously identified as the famous poster, I wanted it to be unique to the little mermaid.  The scene and animations of her pressing and tapping her hand on her throat to tell Prince Eric that she couldn't speak was always a cute lil gesture to me and put that in.  As always the background took the longest.  Even though she's covering majority of it, I still drew it all out because I'm a bit obsessive :P Then there's the last minute additions, I just can't help but add after calling a piece done.  This time it was Prince Eric and Max waaaay in the background :)

Most Disney fans don't know about that Farrah Fawcett poster, but wow you nailed it! :clap: Great job!

A very well deserved DD.
