SciFi and Fantasy Art Saving the Prince by Elizabeth Sherry

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)

22 Oct 2008	Anonymous	Loading... Holy snot: you mean to tell me you don’t like this one!? It is WONDERFUL!!!
21 Jun 2009	Glo 'the Bug' Bowden	Loading... Usually we see the prince safe on the shore with our little heroine lovingly stroking his hair and the other maiden approachin in the distance. I would say that it’s more unique to illustrate the more difficult and dynamic scene when she is actually rescuing him. In otherwords, I think this is very unique, despite what you said. And her expression is so perfect. She looks terrified - like he might already be dead. He looks like he could be dead...or experiencing hypothermia. Really, really well done.
