  • Let's dive in and join Ariel under the sea! I am so excited to show you my Ariel doll for the upcoming Live Action of The Little Mermaid! We are still waiting for more official news, but I am really looking forward to the visuals and fantasy of it all. This is my version of Halle Bailey as Ariel, and I hope you guys enjoy her! I really love how she turned out (even though it took longer than usual lol). Also, yes, I threw her in a tank, and that was a big mistake!

      @@keylianettenerys2997 Disney didn't invent the mermaid design in the first place. The original Little Mermaid (who didn't even have a name) was only described as having a "clear complexion, blue eyes and a tail." And the original author, H.C. Anderson, was a pretty progressive writer for his time, so I'm sure he wouldn't have minded a change in skin color anyways; I'd imagine he'd be more irritated by Disney changing the entire storyline in their first movie.

My one gripe with Halle Bailey's version of Ariel is that I don't like the red they chose for her hair, it washes her out and in many shots it looks like it blends into her skin. The red you chose here or a garnet red or a dark red rose would've looked so nice with her skin tone.

    She’s so GORGEOUS! I’m tweeting the link to this to her Twitter so she can see!
    Also I wouldn’t mind seeing you bring Starfire from the comics to life! Even the version of her from the Injustice game!
