In keeping with the original animated movie, I had two choices for today’s alpha-prompt ‘G’ either Glut the shark that chased Ariel and Flounder through the sea or Eric’s trusty manservant, Grimsby. I went with the later.
Grimsby’s role appears to be one of advisory to the young Prince, as well as managing his time appointments, wedding coordinator, … The stiff neck manservant appears in the two animated films but only one TV episode. I found it interesting the same voice-over actor also was 101 Dalmations’ Roger Radcliffe, Ben Wright. Sadly, this was Wright’s last purrformance, as he died (July 1989) from congestive heart failure.
Offering two images for display one with and one without color is time-consuming. For right now, I’m going to have to stay on course to complete all drawings in pencil. It’s not that I don’t want to share a more ‘finished design’ because I really do. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy applying color to my illustrations. With that in mind, what I hope to do is at some point this month is to add the color fill illustrations to these posts. When I do, I will slip a reminder to you to notifying you to check it out. 
How does that sound?
