Mixed media piece in my sketchbook.
Graphite, markers, acrylics, colored pencils.
She always wanted to be human and did her best to fit in. A single kiss was all that was needed for her dream to come true. But the sweet taste of human flesh always got in her way. Next time, she thought, next time I won't eat him!
So this is Ursula from The Little Mermaid who is jealous of Ariel. She hides in rotting human skin she takes from drowned sailors. Two tentacles goes through the arms, two in the legs and the rest are hidden inside the belly. To look for love she goes from port to port where drunken sailors are blinded by the rum. If only human flesh didn't taste so sweet she would've been human by now...but the years keep on sailing away. Will she ever become a real human or will all the sailor be gone before her dream comes true?
