A continuation of my Siren AU.Â
Doing this was rather difficult as I had to keep the colors mostly the same through transitions.Â
I might also do one more based solely on how terrifying Link can look and how much Sidon loves it. Its rather fun to draw.Â
For inspiration with designing the Aquatic Siren I usually look to Beta Fish and Angular fish. I also really want to keep that fish vibe going, so instead of swimming like a mammal that most people have Merfolk do, their spines move more fluently sideways.Â
Now you must be thinking ‘how can it cut through the water then?’ Well, you should be asking yourself that with how you design merfolk. I mean, theres a reason sea animal’s faces are pointed and/or slim.Â
Anatomy wise, you will never see a Aquatic Siren with boobs, though they do get squishy when feeding. Aquatic Sirens (especially) are genderfluid, as their numbers are very thin and reproduction is hard. And much like most fish, Sirens lay their eggs before fertilization. However, large fish, sharks, dolphins, seals, ect, tend to eat their eggs before they mature, so its like... really hard (Link’s had quite a number of kids die due to that).
Aquatic Sirens tend to live in the abyss of the seas, away from all other kinds. They don't get along too well with the Merfolk. Though the Merfolk originated from them, they still consider them a curse.Â
Link swims like a merfolk out in the open so he wont get attacked. Its very hard on his back.Â
