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.

Moodboards for Fantasy WIP

I made a few moodboards for a fantasy story I’m working on.

I’ve written a few chapters so far, but I’m still trying to figure out what happens next. Writing the middle part of a story is a little difficult for me sometimes.

Yevedzo moodboard: She is one of the antagonists in the story and a literal witch. She acts nice to her relatives and people in her church, but will not hesitate to talk behind their backs and throw them under the bus if she feels she can gain something from it. Though she uses dark magic, she enjoys and mostly relies on gossiping and lying to accomplish her goals. She desires power more than anything, and will do just about anything to get it. Those who see her for who she truly is call her a snake, but others refer to her as a crocodile who lurks in the water and waits for the right moment to strike her prey.
