Tag As FavoriteComment		This ship is kept in the air by magic, but is pushed forward by ordinary sailes. I looked at real ships when I drew this, and imagined how it would look like if they had sales on the bottom. Kinda cool don't you think? :) A bit mixed media, I drew the ship with pencil, but after I scanned it, I filled up some space with grayscales in photoshop.

Oh, god, your art design is excellent, and the line you make is exceptionally clean!! I love these kind of landscape and the details with this kind of line. Really, really, congratulations!!!

*LOL* about the: "How do they land?" "They crash..." I am trying to do a ship picture right now...well for the past few months, I have what I want to get in my head but it doesn't want to come out right! Luckily the other day I found a book with a cover that has the theme I have in mind! I was amazed it was so similar to the picture in my head! Good job!

*screams in delight* I've been looking for a great picture of an airship for SOOOOO long, and now I've found one. I love your detail and the idea for having sails on the bottom makes so much sense. It's practical AND gorgeous looking... my favorite kind of combonation ^_^

clever...

have you read any of Paul Stewart and Chris Ridell's The Edge Cronicles? The books have sky ships (and illustrations as unique as your pictures).

THAT IS DAMN GORGEOUS, I AM SO GLAD U DREW THAT. Ive been looking for inspiration for old style spaceships for hte longest time, and i just found it. DAmn. Still cant get over it, amazing ship, You wouldnt happen to have drawn any other ships along that style. Such as smaller single or 2 person vessels would u? doesnt matter neways. So cool it tizz.

Seriously amazing. I absolutely love it. Adding to favourites. I bet it can go really fast, and is really maneuverable. The clouds are amazing too.
