RMMV Oceanic doodle from last year I went back to and touched up today. This pic features my own take on the hypothesized “Fourth Version” of the ship, wherein the Oceanic’s planned flat superstructure front would be replaced with a rounded, streamlined bridge screen partway through construction, in keeping with the changing architectural fashions of ocean liners in the 1930s, had construction ever progressed that far.

Your Servant Diavolo dream reminded me of one of Kate Beaton's Wuthering Heights comics (you don't have to publish this ask if you don't want, I'd prefer to message from @dashboard-cup-holder but that's a sideblog, so 😔)

Hey all, I made a new, “Official™” art account, @bellotempestade-art ! I’m still going to update and use this account regularly, but as a place to continue posting my rough and unfinished work, while my more polished work will go over there.

Trying to figure out a passenger layout for my fictional airship that manages capacity for a full hundred passengers. All of these, except for the one marked “Hindenburg” (the Hindenburg’s actual layout, which I copied for reference), make use of the split-level decks seen on Hindenburg’s sister, Graf Zeppelin II.

The pair of decks on the right of the bottom image together manage 102 passengers, but I’m unsatisfied with the Hindenburg-style shoebox cabins (they would be cheaper 2nd-class cabins here), and I want to refine the design to include more large cabins if I can. I’m also not thrilled with having the main forward staircase leading directly into the dining room (the large transverse space) and want to see if I can squeeze in a vestibule passage somehow.

A mockup of two cabins aboard the airship Hindenburg I did in Sketchup, back in February. I found some general blueprint plans of the passenger quarters, but had no specific info on the cabins beyond that they were about 2.3 meters tall, and 5.5 x 6.5 feet for floor dimensions; everything else was eyeballed from photos. There are some mistakes, especially in the area of the sink basin, and the wrong number of holes in the ladders, but the model was only a preliminary mockup anyways, done to experiment with distance- and volume-measuring.

Last two photos are a vintage ad of an actual cabin aboard Hindenburg in 1936, and a photo of a reconstructed cabin at the Hindenburg museum in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

character concept: wandering acolyte

[bellotempestade-art]

Sketch for an Aasimar character adopt concept from months ago I never finished. Aesthetically he was inspired by the Polish Winged Hussars, and European Renaissance Christian iconography. Personality-wise he’s an elite soldier and total jerkass who’s good at killing and bad at empathy and compassion.

Hailing from a prideful noble house which claims direct descent from angels, he finds out those claims are far from empty one day, when his family’s progenitor guardian angel takes notice of his cruelty in battle, and decides to pull him back on the path to righteousness the hard way. Returning to camp after battle’s end, he finds that his armor won’t come off, and the ornamental wings have fused to his back and become real wings of flesh and bone. Exiled from clan and regiment, he must set out on a journey among strangers and redeem himself if he ever hopes to return to his former life of privilege and status—a real pain in the ass, if he says so himself.

Designing a carrack sailing ship for a fantasy-type situation. Not quite a merchantman, I imagine this ship as one of a fleet ran by some country’s government for regular crossings between important ports of call; sort of a Renaissance version of historical Packet Ships. A civilian’s ship, and therefore strictly immune politically from warfare. For a civilian role the sterncastle is enlarged, occupying over half the ship’s length, to allow room for passengers, as space was tight on these old vessels.

I forgot to include cannon in the ship’s complement until I was nearly finished drawing, so I stuck a couple in the main deck aft and then crammed the forecastle with culverins and sakers, which was kind of the point of the forecastle anyway. The ship is incredibly wide in the middle and is not built for speed, but it does give the benefit of both increased cargo space and keeping steadier in storms. (Have you ever been on open ocean? Boats rock HORRIBLY in rough weather!)

I have another, more militarized carrack version I want to do, sort of an armed cruiser (like a longer, more stable Mary Rose), but that’ll have to wait ‘til another day.
