I actually had this in sketch form in my sketchbook for a while. I've been wanting to paint it for some time now, but i had gotten sidetracked by the Grand Space Opera and school. Now that I'm finally done with the GSO and school hasn't quite started up yet, I had some time to finish it up.
I was playing with some Beauty and the Beast ideas in my sketchbook and it lead me to this image, which is like Beaty and the Beast meets The Little Mermaid.
I hope you guys like it.
