Elven Man-O-War (Spelljammer)

[Silverblade The Ench]

Oh I have done nautiloids!
I'm working on complete sections for ALL the ships:

Frukathka,
Alas, short of a miracle my health won't, I have M.E. (known as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome in the USA). Not so bad the past past year as finally got a specialist hwo isn't a bungling conceited idiot, grrr, who actually noted the evidence and didn't dismiss it, thus am on hormone replacement therapy (Pituitary gland is clapped out). Doesn't cure the M.E., but does makes life barable, so I cna enjoy life again, even if it's...interesting (in the Chinese curse version ).

Well I do plan on doing all the SJ ships if possible, problem is, it takes me about a month to make each one, I build exactly, with full floor plans, and make textures. I try to fix discrepancies with plans vs art work etc , so lot of work, even when yer well. I build them complete to scale in Rhino3D.

My SPelljammer section has lots of the model work shots

So I'd like to do a whale ship, but I WON'T say will do it or when it, I can't, I've disappointed folk before so don't wish to do so again. I just work when I@m feeling up to it, and on the project my frazzled brains latch onto

The whaleship has tons of problems, external views are for a total monster ship like an ocean liner, deckplans are of rmuch smaller vessel. etc. But I do enjoy building them.
Mayhaps I will do exactly what you want, we will see, but *no* prromises

I really like the first piece.

Good luck with your health!

That Nautiloid is kick-arse!

Ta!
Those of you who do 3d art, I put the models of the ships on my site in Vue and .obj format if ya want to make Spelljammer art.
Part of my Evil Plan (tm) to re-introduce Spelljammer back to the world ands get folk playing it again

Anyway, I did the Man-O-War couple of months ago....made this in past couple of days (hard partis making models and making/collecting/setting up libraries of props to use):
Pyke's Peak, an asteroid base, honme to a dwarven cleric and his people. They chain asteroids together, more land, plants etc.

A Tradesman leaves the base, escorted by a Man-O-War

I'll probably re-do the blue planet some time.

Exactly what an artist wants to hear! So enjoyed, they have it desktopped! woot
That's why I make art: for folk to enjoy (includind myself as well )

I also kind of like doing cartoon-style versions, hence my Spelljammer cartoon/graphic story series, which I need to get back to one day! doh!

All of these are nice, but that first picture of the elven ship... I could easily see that as a splash page in the Spelljammer 4E book, maybe even a cover with the right formatting. I'm in awe.

That's what I'd LOVE to see too Not only do I love the art I make, I love Spelljammer, because it's jsut so...different and the visuals it makes me think of are so fantastic.
So I hope ot try and rebuild interest and play of Spelljammer

Dark Sun, Undermountain, original 1st boxed set Forgotten Realms are my fave official settings. I've doen some art based on the first two. But I dearly want to see a Spelljammer official book once more, sigh.

PS, that 1st pic is my fave from all I've ever made.
