Airship design

Before last Convention, I had to brew up a design for a flying ship of elvish origins lost in time that players can get their hands on for a campaign across 6 books for the Pen-&-Paper-RPG 'The Dark Eye'. I hadn't done concept art for years now (since I studied, actually), so this was a welcomed challenge. I already knew that I'll turn something like this into a map, too. Concepting this was hard because of multiple reasons: I wanted to do a design that is interesting, elegant, recognizable…

My love of flying ships and floating islands has no bounds. Copyright Jagex. I used blender for a mockup of the little flying ship after designing it, the rest is all drawn/painted 2D.

These are some concepts for a steampunk project

Airborne Carriers: An Idea Whose Time has yet to Come

Cutaway vehicle concept for an airship. Created as part of my VFS student project, a fictional open-world fantasy RPG called "The Vessel".

The Rumstronaught is the player’s ship. Its unique design allows its weapon to be operated independently from the ship’s rotation axis - they are installed on separate drones controlled remotely from control panels.
