#deep_ones

Been thinking about Etrian Odyssey since the day before yesterday and had the urge to draw something.

So I drew an explorer getting turned into a Deep One from EO3. I think the idea of merperson race is kinda cool and wish they could have done more with them other that being enemies you fought.

Since this character is supposed to be human (Buccaneer Class), instead of just turning them into one of the enemy types, I merged features together to create something new for them. (He also gets an extra finger. Bc, I forgot how many fingers they had when I drew this. Lol)

(Deep One enemies were gendered for some reason? Muscly, more animal-like warriors that seemed male and dainty, humanoid-looking "magic" users seemed to be female. Honestly, I'm just annoyed they have the magic ones have boobs. They're fish! They don't need those!)

Buccaneer is not jiving with this. Not a bit. Pretty sure he isn't even doing it willingly. This could be a "we gave mercy on you by turning you into one of us instead of letting you die" situation or it could be a "we decided that we might be able to spare some humans from being killed in our war, but only to force them to be assimilated instead" situation. Idk, I just wanted to draw someone after they'd been turned into a fish person.
