Fathom are fine. Didn't really feel too disappointed or happy at their design.
Just whatever, they're here. Okay.
Surprisingly, their posing is actually the most interesting part to me. Female Fathoms have their wings pointed downward without revealing the inner wing, making it so that apparel that is technically on the top or behind the wings are really visible and obvious, which isn't really something we have with most modern breeds. Female Imperials are our closest example, but Fathoms feel a bit more revealing than them, and I generally like that in wing posing!
Timekeeper looks really nice on them.
However, the downward wings create an issue that any back body apparel(waist, under wings, etc) are no longer neatly seen and straight up awkwardly sticking out most of the time, if they can be viewed at all.
These are suppose to be the aviator satchel and a waist frill, which are just barely visible under the wings.
This pose also ends up with a lot of scenarios where the gills by the chest end up hidden in some way due to genes, colors, or just apparel in general, which is unfortunate since it's one of it's main interesting features. It's similar to the Male and Hatchling poses in that way, but it's even worse for them.
Even genes like tiger make them look almost nonexistent.
So yeah, I guess this mean I hope in future more modern breeds come out with different body and wing posing for more versatile ways to show off apparel honestly. Thought I would be careful to make sure it doesn't come at the expensive of hiding cool unique features associated with the breed.
Fathoms are a step in a good direction, but still quite not there for me yet.
Edited: For mistakes.
