*My late submission for Art Challenge #1 - Take a classic story or novel and add a twist. I'm jumping on the reversed-sex role bandwagon. Took me a while to post it... and it's not in colour! D:*
Story
The story starts exactly like The Little Mermaid; a young merman with a beautiful voice has a fascination for human artifacts. One fateful night he saves a human, Prince Eric, from a sunk ship; from then on he dreams of being with the humans. His father (the king) finds the human artifacts and shows his disgust by destroying everything his son loves. This sketch is after that moment when the little merman holds the broken face of the Prince's statue.
If the little merman peruses the Prince, will he find love? Will the sea witch use the little merman's stolen voice to command all of the Prince's attention? How would the prince treat the little merman, if he is the exact same Prince from the original Little Mermaid? He may be in for a lot of hurt, would it be worth jeopardizing his life in the sea?
*PS: Feel free to colour this, if you want to try
I know I stuffed up his left arm, the elbow is too low. Any good tips?
ReplyDeleteNice work! Try using a bit of perspective in your drawing perhaps. And maybe have some sort of anatomy reference open when your working to work out the forms and proportions. The elbow usually sits around the bottom of the rib cage. In regards to the left arm the shoulder muscle is taken up a bit too much realestate on the upper arm and the bicep is pushed down into the pit of the forearm. Pull it all up a bit will look better. Nice idea!
