Description
This is my attempt at recreating one of Disney's beautiful shadow posters that they used to do for their animated films.
This is the last Disney one I'm going to be doing for awhile. I hope you enjoyed the series.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Feel free to check out my other galleries, including the portrait of Lady Lara Croft. Thanks for taking the time to look at my work.
Photoshop/Painter/Vue
Ariel and the sky are completely handpainted from scratch in Photoshop/Painter from a white canvas looking at a Disney image. No tracing or any part of the picture was used during this process. The entire picture was rendered in Vue using painted alpha planes for the mermaid and the sky and the text and area that the text was put into.

Looks great. Iw ould add some colou-diversion to the sun to make it even more disney, but it's great as it is! :
Beautifully done! I have to say that this is really very well done.
Very Lovely Pic,Excellent work
Thanks Thomas, but I was trying to keep to the style of the poster, which strangely enough had the single color sun.
I love it for its neat balance, it seems simple, but it's emphazing the whole scen so. I love her fish body part immensively. And the profile is perfect :) Great work :)
Yet another wonderful image with the traditional Disney flair - although with your unique touch - the image shines in both selection of color and gorgeous skilled application. I never grow weary of seeing the excellent advancement of your expanding horizons in ability and elegance - both of which overflow with artistic class. This was one of the more recent Disney animated features that I saw, fully enjoyed, and can almost sing the title song - (very poorly I might add).. Absolutely a darling tribute my friend - excellently painted!
Wow really good combination beetween 3D and 2D, great effect and i imagine the file size for the alpha plane realisation for obtain no pixelisation with it. Excellent work.
This really came out wonderfully, I have messed with alpha planes but still have so much to learn, this is really great though.
This looks great. I love the color of the sun. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the next one.
I think the colors here are really fantastic. It's an interesting technique with the alpha planes too.
Excellent work as allways
Wonderful poster with lovely colors!
Your work as always is a sign of beauty, love and artistic skill. The airbrushing technique is so reminescent of the 70's 80's style, which I absolutely love. I always enjoy sitting and viewing your wonderful images. Thank you.
Very pretty little image, it speaks with soft words and sings a merry tune..the little mermaid, a great favorite of Disney fans..no matter what age..!
You do have an amazing ability to impliment the combination of 2d and 3d maintaining complete integrity of the composition as a whole. I love the color variations and Ariel has excellent form and presence as she is conveyed within the shadow. Her hair looks so soft and graceful. You have accomplished something I believe Disney would be proud to own.
Very beautiful and magical!! Bravo!!
Nicely done. Looks better than the original. Much better.
You are the master of the "Wacom" paintbrush :)
