Thoughts on The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel

I’ve been in the mood for fantasy stories and mermaids lately, so I was happy to get The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel . It is written by Rhonda Cleary, and the artwork is done by Valentina Brancati, Andrea Greppi, Lorenzo Fornaciari, and Marco Leoni. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite fairytales, so I was eager to see what adventure was in store for Ariel in this graphic novel. In the graphic novel, Princess Ariel joins Prince Eric to Greenland, where the Royal Trading Company is working with the locals to build a port for trade. But when Ariel discovers that the construction is disturbing the Arctic mermaids that live there, and that a conflict between the Arctic mermaids and the humans is brewing, she becomes determined to convince the mermaids and humans to work together to come up with a solution to this issue. One thing I will say is that I love the art style, and the artwork is beautiful. I also like how the graphic novel depicts Ariel’s adventur...

Creating My First Moodboards

After scrolling on Pinterest late into the night, I saw some moodboards and decided to try making some myself. I heard that some writers use moodboards to get ideas for their stories, so maybe the moodboards I made will give me inspiration for a story or maybe it will give you inspiration for one. 

This is my first attempt to make moodboards. Though there were a couple that I thought could have turned out better, I did like some of them. All of the images used in these moodboards were taken by me.

Mysterious Forest


This one is my second favorite so far. I love how the pink flowers go well with the green leaves of the trees and vines. 

This moodboard gives me the sense that there is a mysterious forest nearby, and within it is a hidden garden with beautiful pink flowers.

Yellow


This didn’t quite turn out as well as I wanted it to, but I did enjoy putting together the images that had similar colors to one another.

This moodboard gives me an idea of a place where perhaps an eccentric personality loves the color yellow so much that she decorates most of her home with that color. She plants yellow flowers, and only allows yellow butterflies and other insects into her little domain. She only makes a few exceptions to her little rule, such as flowers that are the color pink, since pink is her second favorite color.

Red


This one is my favorite. I loved taking pictures of birds, plants, and anything else that seemed to pop in my surroundings. I’m glad these pictures became of use later.

Although some of the images were taken during spring, the red berries, the cardinals, and the red coat give off winter vibes to me. Perhaps in one fantastical world far away from our own, there is magical oasis of sorts that grows spring flowers even in the midst of winter.

So what do you think? Do you have a favorite? Let me know in the comments if you do. 😊
