Update 2017/06/20: This entry won the contest (Judge's Section) 
You know what? After completing my Gabriella painting for the contest disney-club.deviantart.com/jou… by the group
I decided to paint just one more (two entries are allowed). Very very quickly because I wanted to have it done before I rush off into my deserved vacation 
And it was fun again, also because the motif's more meant to be funny.
It's just a small side joke the Genie does in the Aladdin TV series from the 1990s when he briefly transforms himself into King Triton and parrot Iago into Ariel, the little mermaid. You know "Aladdin", so you know that the Genie is famous for cameos and gags like this one.
The scene is taken from the episode "Seems like old crimes" (part 1 of 2) which I actually never fully watched (doesn't matter here though). I learned from this joke by accident as I was searching on Google for all kinds of mermaids in Disney productions.
To prove that I'm not making this up: Here's the regarding episode: in German and bad quality, I'm sorry but for a proof it's enough. You can spot the scene at around 2:10.

And this is the screenshot I found before: www.pinterest.com/pin/49792930…
However, I didn't want to just copy the scene to 100% and that's it. I tried to alter the both characters a bit, I tried to make the Genie look more funny (and also added the trident and his fish tail there), I tried to make Iago look more freaked out.
So, a quick "just for fun" painting
Done with watercolours, Indian ink and pencil.
