Leo and Ariel’s Christmas Workout
Leo and Ariel King gave each other matching holiday workout gear, so they celebrated with a couple’s workout. Got to work off that holiday ham and Christmas cookies, after all.
A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

listen if the little mermaid 2023 did anything right it was ariel and eric... they were already a good couple in the original but fleshing him out and making him drawn to the ocean in a parallel to ariel being drawn to land is so good. and kind of increasing that human vs merfolk tension to make it this romeo & juliet love story. like sorry they kind of slayed there. eric sees ariel turn back into a mermaid in front of him and all he does is hold her tighter. they're both gigantic nerds. he's a foot taller than her. it's incredible.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHAIR because presumably, the queen doesn't understand Eric's fascination & servants keep away out of respect for him. So, there's no use having chairs around since nobody hangs out with him here. The implication that he must've felt alone for years until, well, her. They're twin souls. I'm gonna sob in the corner real quick.
AND
This should not be applauded, but that mofo knelt on the floor afternoon 'till evening so she can sit (or not, she might be sitting on a box here) on the only comfortable seat in his library. like a fucking gentleman.
A prince on his knees, literally and figuratively. gddamn it, disney.

Little Mermaid era is upon us!
I'm bursting to go check it out this weekend already. I've been drawing fanart in excitement for this adaptation since 2019, so it feels super special now that it's finally here.
Check out more of my work on other platforms!

"Paint me like one of your French lions..."
In This Scene
Ariel wanted to try painting, so she asked her husband Leo to be a model--it's not like he wears a shirt much anyway (he's an MMA fighter)!
Leo, being Leo, took the role not seriously at all.
Leo actually did work briefly as a model, just after his nephew Sammy was born and the rest of the King family was strapped for cash, but that ended quickly after he kept asking how people were going to want to buy clothes that he wasn't being photographed wearing. He doesn't regret it, though.
Behind the Scenes
This was a hard one to do. I bought my sketchbook a few years ago in a second-hand store in Colorado, and it was empty save for a couple crayon scribblings. This page was almost empty except for one quick scrawl, and I decided to challenge myself and see if I could incorporate that into a drawing of my own imagination. As you can see, the crayon scrawl became Ariel's palette, and Ariel came next.
Finding a pose for Leo that realistically scaled to fill the space took several iterations, but I knew I wanted it to be a parody of something else. I finally decided on the Titanic reference, and that brought the whole piece together.
(I've still never seen Titanic, and I don't feel like I'm missing out)
