A Load of Carp - BABD Bingo Contest Entry

Meet the siren, the transcendent version of the Whalelock class!

Ascending from the cold ocean floor, the sirens get ready to fight on unknown terrain and recapture their beloved homes, which reemerged from the clutches of the sea in Update 7!
They are able to cast even stronger magic than their small predecessors and have four exclusive skills. The siren can cross great distances with Torrent, by transforming into a small wave that can flow up- and downstream. Healing Water can be used to restore the hitpoints of the caster or an ally, by covering them in magically induced icy water from the deepest point of the ocean. Whirlpool creates an inescapable undertow, that affects several foes in a wide area. And the sirens last skill, Kraken, summons a gigantic cephalopod, which crushes enemies and carries allies to safety with its strong arms.

Now to the FAQ section!:

Q: I really liked the passiv skill of the whalelock to breath underwater, will this be lost after ascending to the new class?
A: The whalelocks gills are of course still present on the siren and the connected ability as well.

Q: Hey, after you published the artwork for the new classes, i noticed that they are all better "endowed" than the current ones. Are they adults?
A: Hello, you guessed correctly! The Boon class was supposed to be teens, the first job classes are young adults and the second classes are adults. You can literally see your character grow up while leveling up!

Q: Does the kraken rly have aneyepatch? WTF?
A: Yes, we used sailors as an inspiration for the kraken, so he turned out very masculine, covered in tattoos and with lots of scars. And of course the aforementioned eyepatch.

Q: Hi, i just wanted to know which part of the sirens body are customizable, because i notised the red tip of the fin.
A: The main body of the siren can be colored in all the available skin tones, and the skin covered in scales can be any color you want, just like the whalelock. Their fins will have one base color like the body scales, one for the upper part of the fin, one for the lower part and one for the shiny highlights of the fins, which means 4 different options to customize only the fins!

Q: What i always wanted to know: Why do they have two sets of gills, isnt that redundant?
A: Well, what can i say, we are character designers and not biologists (haha). We just felt like including two to have more creative options for the placement of the water tanks. As you can see, the female siren still has the chest tank, but the male siren has one around his neck.

Q: I want to know what they do when the water gets too old. How do they replace it?
A: Even sirens take bathroom breaks.

Okay, this turned from very fun to kinda annoying, because i always kept adding stuff and now i'm so done with this, you don't even know.

I wanted to recreate this video game experience, where you picked the least sexualized character, only to find that the next stage would turn out to be...this. That's the reason i used the "new class introduction screen!" thing.
Don't know how well you can see the water tank boobplate, but i didn't feel like adding goldfish in there to make it more clear.
But i like the pointy things going inside her sensitive gills....it's so dumb, but i could totally see people do this.
I started my design with the nipple eyes, because i really hate nipple eyes, they are just so weird, and added the tear shaped jewel tassles as an extra. I will upload the explanatory boob diagram to my tumblr, so you can see how much of my creative energy went into this "breastplate". I hope breastplate still counts, because it is there, just see-through, but i really don't know.


Here is my tumblr entry, with the boobplate explanation (boobs are pictured, kinda): kohlkopfus.tumblr.com/post/114…
