Floating Fortress Warship Sketches
🕑 Added 2020-09-18 20:14:05 +0000 UTCThese are some sketches I did while planning out the floating fortress warship I'm drawing next. I played around with some other designs, but they just ended up looking too normal. They were big ships, but nothing about them said FLOATING FORTRESS. I think this one does.
Let me break this ship down for you. It's a catamaran, which is a ship with two hulls. This gives it stability and a wide deck with a lot of space. The primary means of propulsion is rowing, but it also has a single mast with a Bermuda Sloop sail rig. There are rams at the bows of both hulls and other armaments will be included as well. I'll probably do a ballista version and a gunpowder version.
This is a flagship with a crew in the hundreds, including oarsmen, sailors, officers, marines and other support staff such as medics, mages, a chaplain and so on. It's a castle on the sea. I can't promise you'll like it or that you'll have a use for it, but I can tell you it'll definitely be something different.
