SF&F Picture 12 out of 21 by Elizabeth Sherry.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Saving the Prince

A moment of high drama in Hans Christian Andersen's 'the Little Mermaid'. I think this scene gets illustrated a lot. Done in a different style than my other Little Mermaid picture, in acrylics and micron pen on watercolour paper. I wish I'd managed to show her tail in this one, but it didn't look right to make the water transparent. I'm not quite so fond of this picture, but I really need more stuff in this gallery, so up it goes.

(acrylics and pen, 2004)

21 Jul 2004	Gorana Cacija	Loading... wow! this is beeeeutiful! I've always loved the story about the little mermaid, well, not the Disney version of the tale. You have such skills. Love the colors and the contrast between their bodies and the sea. It looks really stormy, as it should. I'm happy that you decided to add it to your gallery and what ever you do, don't take it away. more pictures like his one please
21 Jul 2004	Lizz 'Elvishangel' Campos	Loading... this is a beautiful picture whether you like it or not >__< i love the way you showed how frightened she was and how the prince's (i forgot his name) hair just flows into the water. It gives a nice effect! Very good job on this ^__^
