Happy 21st Birthday Kay Kay!

Description

My best friend, Kay Kay, is turning 21 on the 18th, and so I decided to make her something special for the occasion :3 Her favorite movie in the whole wide world is The Little Mermaid [for those who don't know, I've drawn her an annual Ariel picture for previous special occasions - usually birthday], so this year I decided to draw not only Ariel, but all of her sisters as well. I drew them in the same order of Kay Kay's favorite to least favorite, that way if I started half-assing it, I didn't half-ass the important ones XD But, if you're looking at them individually you can still tell who Kay Kay likes most by the number of bubbles on the picture. The more bubbles, the more Kay Kay likes that particular sister ^_^

Happy Birthday, Kay Kay, and I hope you love these pieces! I can't wait to help you set up your Little Mermaid shrine again and have fun with you celebrating your birthday X3 And remember, drink lots of water so you don't get a hangover - a glass of water for every glass of alcohol <3

All of them were first sketched in mechanical pencil, inked with Faber-Castell inking pens, then colored in Roseart markers and sharpie. Each piece was first drawn on paper, then taped to some scrap cardboard from old boxes to keep them a bit sturdier so hanging them up wasn't as much of a pain as it could have been. I used bigger pieces for the sister Kay Kay preferred, but the smaller sizes weren't drastically different so I didn't use it as a reference like I did with the bubbles.

Links to all reference art is in the description of the individual pieces.
