I don’t normally do straight paintings of established characters like this.  Just painting someone else’s art makes me feel like I’m copying, but this time I wanted to do a painting of Ursula the Sea Witch because she is just plain awesome.  Not only is she a great villain but she’s a woman in power and control of her life and her body.  Sure she is is evil, but she still has everything else going for her, and she makes a really good role model.  I always liked her songs and liked her attitude.

“Never under estimate the power of BODY LANGUAGE! Ha!”

I hope to one day get a cool Ursula costume going for myself, I just want to make sure that when I do, her tentacles look awesome, not cheap, that’s the big thing holding me back right now.

Ursula doesn’t apologize for anything, she takes up space and fills a room, and if she’s really mad, she just gets bigger.  She’s plain awesome.
