Mermaid request test

I drew this before I did the Mermaid request. I wanted to see what he would look like as a mermaid first. I changed the colours around afterwards though.
I was trying to get a whiskey kind of colour, but didn't quite get it. This was fun to draw though.

I was reading Hans Christian Anderson's original story a night or so ago. It was very interesting. I found it odd that in the original story the mermaid isn't only looking for the prince but an immortal soul, which she's told only humans can have. In fact at times she seemed more interested in getting the soul than the prince. And instead of just taking her voice the witch cuts out her tongue. Bloodthirsty! Can see why Disney left that detail out!
