Tag As FavoriteComment		'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.

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!!

Very interesting history lesson. Great airships too. My brothers like airships. I'm just really getting into he fantasy genre. ;-)

16 H. Ching replies: "Hahaha! Yeah the more elegant way of flying huh?"

that is so cool 1 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.

16 H. Ching replies: "I think I remember a flying ship in Peter Pan. It's been a while. But glad you like my works."

You're amazing. Your art is so unique. I dig it.

I like your "fantasy" aircraft. It's fresh thinking. But
with the great distances between these units, the more distant ones should be hazier.

16 H. Ching replies: "Perhaps, but then it's a clear day."

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.

16 H. Ching replies: "I've seen this movie too, and the answer is no. I recommend you check the movie out again."
