Description A little ink practice. Tell me if I should add some pencil to it I made the ship with black Stabilo pen.
The lineart is here: [link]

Cheers,
Tom

Gotta love the idea of placing another set of artillery turrets below the hull in addition to the 'normal' deck ones. Great concept!

Honestly, this is one of the less revolutionary ideas I had about space warships, but - among my friends - it has become a trademark of my designs I wish I could avoid them now sometimes

I love this image. Very interested in the Dreadnought Battleships and alternate history, so great to see two of my favourite things combined in one picture. Feels like a picture with a whole story behind it.

It was a long time ago, it was who introduced me to the idea way back in 2007, and for about a year we've been thinking about doing a space-steampunk comic centered around colonial wars on Mars, while the world is still in the belle epoque of late 1800s and early 1900s. The comic didn't appear, but both of us drew a lot of concepts and ship designs.

Interesting idea, though I'm more of a fan of HMS Warspite myself

Oh, this is sooooo sweet work, mate. I tired to make a few pics like this myself long time ago, but they didn't came out as well as this one.

JanBoruta In reply to Ritualist [2007-12-10 19:22:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'd like to see the ones you did, maybe they're interesting. And I'm planning to draw a large space battle featuring the modified, real ocean-going ships, I even got it sketched up, but I don't know when I will finish it... Maybe I'll manage to do it before 2008 comes

PS. I was passing through Serbia (featuring Belgrade) a few months ago and I was a little bit surprised that I saw signs and texts both in Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. So I've got a question, are you switching from Cyrillic to Latin alhpabet? Is it caused by something or is it just a spontaneous action? (please don't feel offended, I don't have such information )

Ritualist In reply to JanBoruta [2007-12-10 19:43:50 +0000 UTC]

No, we aren't changing and i'm not offended. Cyrillic is still the offical alphabet. Some people just use it since it's a bit easier for foreginers to read it (somehow, lol). Serbia has allways been a country on the crossroads and that's mostly the main reason we use both alhpabets.

Bottom line: No big plans. Some use Cyrillic, other Latin... matter of choice, really.

Świetne! "Techniczny" wygląd i ostry kontrast z czernią kosmosu jeszcze dodają mu steampunkowej potęgi! Tylko te szalupy... Hmmm... Trochę jak pięść do nosa, może ciut lepsze byłyby kapsuły ratunkowe w kształcie miniaturowych zeppelinów??

JanBoruta In reply to DoctorGurgul [2007-09-14 05:40:28 +0000 UTC]

A po co się przemęczać, wystarczy do szalupy dodać kabinę i silniczki, taniej niż cały nowy statek budować Zresztą mini-zeppeliny i tak były w "Steamboyu"
