Your favorite Disney mermaid got a new look thanks to Behance user and artist Jeslyn Qara. She gave the princess large hips and a bigger bust, a seashell crown and a piece of metal in her nose.
Ariel has a nose ring and rocks it with her Monroe mole, red lips, cat-eyes and freshly threaded eyebrows. The character looks revived in a more modern look, with features that are very current and beautiful.
Disney mermaid Ariel’s skirt has a plaid design and her long red hair has layers. The bottom of her skirt isn’t shown, so it’s hard to tell if she’s a human in this version, or still a mermaid. Even so, the look is still there and with her very iconic features, it’s obvious which Disney princess this is.
Ariel’s new look is surely striking and eye-catching, especially the dramatic features on her face.
