Well, what can I really say? =P :iconiesnoth: has successfully made me a fond admirer of this crossover which I'll still admit is charmingly unlikely. The fanfic she's been working on (“Landlocked” [link] ) has encouraged my interests even further from my previous deviation of Ariel and Jim [link] .

This deviation was in a way inspired by “Landlocked”, as well, seeing as the fic is the motor of my shipping these two. ~iesnoth set her story during The Little Mermaid movie, interjecting Jim into it so they could meet. So, while she hasn't gotten to the ending yet in her fic, I went ahead and did a little alternate ending scene I dreamed up on my own—the angsty goodbye scene. As fondly as I admire the crossover, I think I must fundamentally be a purist when it comes to Disney cannon, because I think that, even if Ariel had met and accidentally developed a crush on Jim during her story, ultimately she would end up with Eric. Therefore, I came up with this scene that would happen between them at the end of The Little Mermaid, after Ursula is defeated and right before Ariel goes to the rock she's sitting on when Triton turns her into a human again. She has to say goodbye to Jim.

This is really cute! I'm so impressed with how well your style goes with the Disney style. And I totally appreciate the way you approached the unusual pairing-- I'm not a big fan of crossovers but I like the way you made this pairing actually seem reasonable (considering they're really not couple in official terms). Really good description and explanation. :D

This is INCREDIBLY adorable! And I do forsee something like this... no matter who ~iesnoth has her end up with, there will be the moment of them thinking they have to say goodbye, whether it's for real or not.. I too am a fan of "Landlocked", and I'm so psyched for the next chapter! I love your work with these two, and the poses and lighting here are perfect and wonderful and amazing... :D LOVE!

And now I'm for sure going to read that fic. lol. I don't know if ~iesnoth was the first to come up with this pairing, but I like what she's inspiring. haha. Really wonderful emotions in this piece, hun. Great work. :D

very cute! :D i love that your a purist (of course i do know that much about you) and i agree that she woulda' ended up with Eric in the long run anyway; they're soul mates (like Al & Jas, Belle and Adam etc.etc.)
though it's a cute coupling! :P

great drawing, i love the water, you did a great job with the spray, and their sad, angsty expressions are priceless ;)
