Moral Compass designs!

"Krash wtf are you talking about." Moral Compass - Lillian VanDaam is a story album about a sailor that jumped overboard for a siren, abandoning their crew. It's!! Sososososososo good, and I might be a little crazy about it for a minute

design notes under the break!

Sailor

Overall theme is White Whale ("I knew I was the seasick type, a white whale I'm not prepared to fight" w/ the whale being their insecurities)

White in their hair is from the salty water, from leaning into the waves too many times (like surfer hair). They use it to hide the grey hairs they got from the stress of being on the ship.

whale bone necklace! It's carved to look like a mermaid tail.

seafoam green eyes

pearl engagement ring (haven't decided if the "ship" is staying a metaphor and they're with the captain, or if the "ship" is a literal person)

Compass on belt (points towards the Siren)

They get stubble because I say they get a lil extra gender as a treat

Very plain clothes.

Overall, I tried to make their design not stick out that much because they're mostly going with what the crew is doing and disregarding their own emotions/motivations

Siren

She's a thresher shark! ("a shark has never looked so enticing"). She does have a fin on her back, but it isn't visible with this pose.

For her human half, her face/body type is meant to resemble the beauty standard in the renaissance/in famous portraits from that time period. As in, she's impossibly beautiful for the situation she's found in

The ruffles on her outfit are supposed to look like fins, but I don't know if I pulled that off OTL

Her irises aren't brown!! They're white, with her iris/pupil being in a slit shape and her sclera being that brown color. She can mimic that blown-out pupil look by looking in the opposite direction (like she's doing here)

Her actual mouth is under her "chin" (you can see it a bit here, the shark teeth)

She isn't wearing makeup! That's her actual skin/scales

Overall, she's meant to be a very convincing mimic, while still being of The Sea with her more unnatural/monstrous traits.
