SciFi and Fantasy Art Aerial Battle Group by H. Ching

'A sovereign with a battleship fleet is not a country. It is an empire.'

Some quote I've heard somewhere on TV. An aerial fantasy analogy of a modern day aircraft carrier battle group with a new and improved version of my original battlecarrier as the fleet's focal point escorted by its carrier wing and defense airships. Battleships (and later carriers) allow nations to project their powers worldwide, i.e. take the war to the enemy. Before the invention of nukes, they were the superweapons of the day, and states used to sign arms limitation treaties focused on battleships.

19 Nov 2003	Kathy Rogers	Loading... Does first comment dance This is such a creative idea, with the ship flying in the sky like that. I really love the sails and how you shaded in this drawing! You certainly work magic with pencils!! H. Ching replies: "Hehehe! It's nothing new you know, but thank you!"
21 Nov 2003	Rachel Tipaldi	Loading... Very interesting history lesson. Great airships too. My brothers like airships. I'm just really getting into he fantasy genre. ;-) H. Ching replies: "Hahaha! Yeah the more elegant way of flying huh?"
27 Dec 2003	Sasanki Tennakoon	Loading... that is so cool Ever since I read Peter Pan I wanted a flying ship looks around and stealthily stows away in one of the ship's holds/room/things. I love your work, especially your shading; it's very soft and neat and it reminds me of black&white versions of coloured children's book illustration for some reason. H. Ching replies: "I think I remember a flying ship in Peter Pan. It's been a while. But glad you like my works."
29 Oct 2004	Anonymous	Loading... You're amazing. Your art is so unique. I dig it. H. Ching replies: "Glad you like it!"
1 Nov 2004	Old hand	Loading... I like your "fantasy" aircraft. It's fresh thinking. But with the great distances between these units, the more distant ones should be hazier. H. Ching replies: "Perhaps, but then it's a clear day."
4 Dec 2004	Bumblebum	Loading... Its pretty good, But i think i remember seeing this in a Japanese cartoon somewhere looks at picture suspiciosly. Was it "Castle In The Sky" or something. Anyway, you portrayed it beautifuly. H. Ching replies: "I've seen this movie too, and the answer is no. I recommend you check the movie out again."
