    Wip November/December 2015 Challenge: Elemental Airship

    The ship must be a cargo, mainly designed for commercial purposes, but dotted with few defensive options. It's a large ship with multiple decks, and all things necessary for a one month travel with no stop.

    I let everything else to your imagination (and of course, you can interpret this with your own vision). Curious to see what you will do with it!

    Cheers,

    I've started the rough for Ilanthar's Commission. I have a minor idea what I'm gonna do with it, but we will see what happens.

    Welcome to the challenge! You've got an interesting brief on your hands there and I'm looking forward to seeing how you develop it. You're off to a good start.

    Good start ! I'm particularly curious to see how you'll develop the propelling device and the general organization.

    I admit I don't know much about aerodynamics, but I think I can make it look decent? We will see.

    So far all I have is the Top Deck. I was thinking of basing its design off the HMS Beagle and a flying fish. So we will see how that turns out.

    I feel like these speak for themselves. But I was wondering which was cooler/ what you'd want.I did have another idea for a sort of Jet Propulsion design. Let me know which one you like.

    A flying fish! Excellent and very original idea !

    Regarding your sketches for propulsion, both are very good ideas. I think I have a preference for the first one, though.

    It actually dawned on me while I was riding my bike that I could mix the two.
    So, it would be in blimp mode when it was cruising. But when it went into combat mode the elementals would exit the blimp and the balloon would deflate. Then the elementals would push the balloon like a parasail.

    I did some more of the decks. I hope they are turning out to your liking.

    Looks like a great idea! Oh, and I really like the flying fish look!
