Iron Blood - Fallen Blücher (Patreon)

Following the Operation Weserübung during the Battle of Drøbak Sound, in which happened long before the Battle of the Denmark Strait. An old fortress heavy guns and torpedoes unexpectedly managed to struck her critically. Thus, being set ablaze and mortally wounded, Blücher eventually sunk in the confined waters of that region

Even the most affectionate and cheerful girl can eventually succumb to darkness and despair — especially when they spend their last moments alone, in the abyss far beneath the surface. However, having remained there in long time somehow makes her became more attuned to it. And now she has an additional unique ability, being able to submerged for a period of time. She can do it to turn herself stealthy, or dive beneath the water surface before launching sudden assaults on her enemies. In which this was also referred on her base rigging model resembling monstrous Goblin Shark, an abyssal-sea creature also known for its distinctive appearance

Even then, being in that condition for so long also meant her body required more alterations to function normally again. Thus, a "certain Siren girl" also used the advanced siren technology to modify her body further alongside the mysterious cube, not only allowing her to being reborn, but also amplifying her original abilities to another level

Furthermore, the region she perished in was also often affected with certain seismic instability — a volatile volcanic zone where underground magma flows. Exposure to fire at her final moments alongside with that volcanic environment as her final resting place, somehow awakened an affinity for fire and inferno within herself. And now, she can also channel these element into her weapons, rigging, and shield, further empowering them to unleash devastating damage

Regardless of this, she still retains her original “cinnamon roll” personality, being affectionate and warm at heart. That said, she can also become rather "bold" and "intimate" especially toward those she once loved dearly. Despite that, her past experiences have taught her to observe and understand a situation before rushing in blindly. This growth has made her more mature, granting her a depth of experience she never possessed before. In the end, with her newfound additional intelligence and a little bit of emotional maturity, there should be no drawbacks to this "lovely" behavior, well hopefully...

The first Iron Blood corrupted shipgirl I've ever made

Commissioned by Snowson / Snow_steppe, plus additional expressions set

A little spoiler, she'll be among the main casts in the Crimson Convergence

Expect some tension going on between her and her fellow sisters as well!

Managed to find the full version of her image in my long lost HDD, other than small icon of her before

Thank you for the commission! Looking forward to drawing more corrupted shipgirls!
