Siren of the High Seas [Full Flickr Gallery with WIP shots] Be wary, those who travel to Okoto by way of Mermaid’s Trench! Local rumors boast of a valley filled with untold treasures just beneath the glass-like calm. One thousand Lords’ ransoms amassed by the victims of the beautiful but deadly Merfolk who reside in the trench. They are led by Siren. With her Typhoon Pike, she sinks any crew foolish enough to trespass her waters and makes them a part of her permanent collection. --------------------- Siren is my entry for the Battle for the Golden Mask contest, and a long-planned spiritual successor of an older MOC, Fanglyfuss. I first set out to make a fish with a larger under-bite like how most species of actual angler-fish usually have. I then loosely based the rest of the design on this piece of concept art. The silver tail works thematically, but I'm not too pleased with adding another colour on an already colour-heavy MOC. Her rear shoulder armor is rather poorly constructed and something I would like to fix now that I have no contest deadlines looming on me. I also need to rework the arms slightly so that she can actually hold her pike in dynamic shots.
