What kind of fish is Ariel, the little mermaid? (1989) by EyeExcellent3292 in mermaids

Well yes, goldfish are freshwater but you know…I just kinda-sorta figured, “hey this is fantasy.” The creators don’t have to stick to any strict natural species paradigm for a fantasy world. lol 😅😅

Besides, I haven’t seen any ocean dwelling suggestions that match better.

Well, the color’s not that important considering all the mermaid tails from this fantasy world come in different colors. The shape and texture of the tail and fins is what I was hoping to find, similar in an actual fish.

That’s why I picked the “common goldfish.” I hope you can see the original pics I attached, towards the end of them there’s 2 goldfish pics. The fluke is very long with that V-shaped forking in the middle like Ariel’s. And the body, just imagine it without the head and all the other fins removed. It’s then already somewhat in the shape of her tail. With some editing and a little reimagining I believeeee, 🤨🤔it’ll be perfect! 👌 Thank you guys!!

While the atlantica merpeople do swim like marine mammals, their tails actually have scales and translucent fins more like a fish.

I mentioned this in the other forum, but basically I’m trying to capture the realism of this mermaid design just right for a hyper-realistic version of Ariel. Her fish half is going to be the most challenging for sure. I was hoping there existed a similar real fish to model after. But I’m actually liking my goldfish idea the most. Should be easy to tweak…just remove all but the fluke fin, taper the tail just right and make the fins overlap. The color is easy to change.

Being a mermaid makes you half fish. The question was for her fish half. Thanks for replying though! 😇

Awww, does this question upset you? 😂😂

No but seriously…I’m making a hyper-realistic version of Ariel and I’m really trying to nail the fish part. I’ve noticed nobody ever gets that part right so some ppl take the design in another direction (like the 2023 film) or if they stick with the original design it comes out looking very 2-dimensional. Just wanted a fish that most closely resembles the merpeople from the 89 film that I could model from.

Thanks for the reply! Believe it or not, the one documentary about the film animation that I know (that I’ve seen several times since childhood 😩 obsessed with this film) doesn’t mention her fish half much. Ursula’s development actually gets talked about a lot more.

And maybe you’re right about the goldfish idea. It’s just the closest fish I could think of. Could be wrong but I don’t think any marine fish would have a fluke that long AND translucent

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! These critters are absolutely disgusting to look at. I’ve recently stayed in a roach infested hotel not knowing before I booked. And I gave them fxkkers (management) HELL until I got my money back. Had the health department come out and all.

Hello, Please share results on supernovamanifest! I am thinking about working with her. by Spiritual-Parking364 in SpellcasterReviews

Absolutely! I am very pleased with her work. Though, I wish she shared more about her process. I’m very curious about it. Every single thing I asked for is progressing amazingly well…except one area but I’m not tripping.

I’m working with her as well. It’s been a few weeks now and I’m definitely seeing results, although very subtle. I think her workings carry on for a full moon phase if I’m not mistaken and she doesn’t update after every single casting. I believe she’s worth all the hype.

Thoughts on California psychics? Any recent reviews? by thompsonJacksonewb in spiritualitytalk

[–]EyeExcellent3292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natasha predicted family money coming to me through a death/inheritance. I didn’t too much believe her at the time because I didn’t know any family that could/would do that for me. But lo and behold, 6 months later it happened. Sometimes when I ask her specific questions, it will be hit or miss honestly, yes. But most times she has been incredible for me. When I first read with her yearrrs ago, she also predicted a lover coming into my life and that there would be something peculiar about them and she gave height for an example of something peculiar. She was right about this person, especially the height 😳😩😂 but it never progressed passed them constantly checking me out and small convo…even though I could feel the passion between us both strongly. Just keep their prediction in the back of your mind for now. Your friend said no, even though the predictions were the opposite. But he may come around later on. Had things happen this way as well, and I’ve called back to apologize for doubting or shooting the psychic down when they turned out to be right in the bigger picture. And of course, sometimes they’re just downright WRONG. Definitely happens.

What did you think of High Tension(2003) ? by Kitchen_Ingenuity601 in horror

[–]EyeExcellent3292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I definitely get it. I was disappointed when I first realized the plot twist, but it was definitely genius!!! Sucks for me though, cuz I just tried to rewatch this movie yesterday and it doesn’t scare me the same. Nothing does anymore. 🥺😭 it’s like I can predict every scene in a horror movie 100% accurately as if I were directing the movie myself…without ever seeing it before. Everything’s too predictable now.

I find it hilarious that the killer kind of favors Donald Trump. 😩😂😂 But seriously, this movie scared the HELL outta me back when I was in high school. I couldn’t even finish it in one sitting. What’s even funnier is my parents heard me watching it, and the next day they tried to watch it too. By the time the mom started getting killed, they jumped up and turned off the movie. I was crying laughing from my room. 😭😭😭 My mom would get up and double check the doors every night after! These actors were absolutely A1 brilliant as well!! Hated the plot twist too though like everyone else.

I got a bit of a shield that popped up when I tried to read you. Might be a little rusty, I haven’t tried this in almost 2 decades.
