Ursula was the villain in the Disney animated film called The Little Mermaid, which was released back in 1989. She was a true villain who attempted to play on a young girl's hopes and dreams for her own gain, and her appearance was just as ghoulish. Many fans have fallen in love with the corruption of this villain and have gone on to create artwork that is just as sinister.
They focus on her motives and integrate that into her design as she turns into the stuff of nightmares. The artists may use a variety of mediums and techniques, but they all achieve the same chilling result.
A Trident In Hand
Ursula's goal was to rule the seas and take the trident for herself, which this artist depicted in this portrait. The way in which the artist used lines to add texture to her body is amazing, and her face is something that no mother could ever love. The background only adds to its cohesion and MrDusc is the artist behind this piece with an eye for design.
A Wicked Smile
This artist gave Ursula a set of pearly whites that draws attention to the wickedness of her facial features. The combination of her unique hairstyle with the rolling tentacles brings this character to life as it adds to her personality. Dracunnum is the artist in this piece whose handiwork gave new meaning to this villain's sinister aura.
Murky Waters
Ursula's lair rests in a dark and deep part of the ocean, and this portrait reminds fans of that fact based on the unique background that the artist created. Fans adore the way the artist created a smooth texture for her body and even added her eels into the final design. PaInk is the artist behind this masterpiece whose love for this film is evident in the amount of detail they managed to include in this portrait.
A True Sea Witch
This artist wanted to create their own rendition of Ursula as they altered her appearance to resemble the sea witch they imagined. The way they made her younger, yet still managed to strip her beauty by altering her face was a good choice.
Fans are also obsessed with the amount of detail in the background, as well as the way she seemingly wears the eel around her neck. The artist behind this piece is UlaFish and she let her imagination run wild as she created her own rendition of this evil villain.
A Gorgeous Ball Gown
Villains might not attend any proms or fancy dances, but that doesn't mean they can't be pictured in beautiful dresses. Ursula rocks this purple ball gown with a bottom that reminds viewers of the tentacles she usually sports. She looks regal, yet sinister, between her pose and the hairstyle that an artist named Katifisen decided to create.
A Sinister Closeup
When fans take a look at this portrait they quickly realize how horrible it would be to encounter this villain in real life. She would emerge in murky waters and her face would be grotesque in a way that no one would be able to understand. Disse86 is the artist who used their imagination to create this piece that sends chills down fans' spines as the image continues to haunt their nightmares.
A Mythical Being
Ursula is created out of myths and legends and this artist decided to create a version that celebrates this villain's past. Fans love how the artist made her skin and bones, as well as altered her hair and features to match this aesthetic.
The tattered dress adds to the witchy vibe that this artist was going for and the use of watercolors to create this portrait was an excellent choice. IrenHorrors created this piece that brought out the sinister vibe hidden within this villain's personality.
A New Version Of This Animation
This artist decided to create a different type of cartoon animation for this character and fans love the way that it turned out. The elongated nose along with the dots added to her skin for texture gives her a look that is different from anything else on this list. Oscar Vazquez is the artist behind this piece who gave fans something they never knew they needed to see.
A Lifelike Portrait
If Ursula existed in modern-day times then she would probably look a little something like this. Fans love the Mohawk-inspired hairstyle, as well as the makeup that helps her facial features pop in a way that makes her more likable. The tentacles are still a little off-putting, but that hasn't stopped Candymachine_art from giving fans a version of this villain that they needed to see.
Death Awaits Beneath The Surface
This villain might have seemed to have Ariel's best interests at heart at first, but a villainous plan was hiding just beneath the surface. This artist captured this part of her personality as the artistry of her body makes her almost likable, while the skulls beneath her form tell a different story. The bright eels add much-needed contrast to the piece and Lon Lee is the artist who should be praised for creating this masterpiece.
