Fantasy Deckplans

Ghalev, this is absolutely beautiful! Was the hatching done by hand or was it a texture?

This quarter's guild e-zine is on a maritime theme, would you mind if I used this as an illustration?

I like it!

Never heard of a "tiller deck" before but I like the term ... I see you also put poopdeck (I use another name for it). Never heard of a "maid" either, if it means focsle ... I like both terms ... or is that just where the maid sleeps? (You let a WOMAN on board!?). Not crazy for "principle deck" -- I think it's usually called maindeck or "waist." Meh, I need to learn more ship terms.

Very nice plans! Nice style. Is it hand-drawn?

What's a "slime"? Is this for a storyworld and/or a gameworld? It must be a peaceful place, because you have no armaments on this wavefarer.

It's a hand-drawn texture ... so, yes :)

Well, I'd rather you not use the wallpaper version. Drop me an email at sjohn@io.com describing the nature of the 'zine and if all seems cool I'll scoot you a copy of the proper version designed for home-print.

This is a fantasy vessel (although, naturally, based on real-world 15th century caravels to a large degree); none of the deviations from reality are accidents, I promise ;)

I did most of the fragments by hand, but pretty much everything was drawn separately (or salvaged from older/discarded projects), then assembled (and dressed up) in Photoshop.

A beach-ball sized glob of slime. Most of 'em are just as cute as the dickens, too! Even when they're eating your face.

Yes, it's for "Caravel," a Uresia: Grave of Heaven mini-supplement I published a while back.

Interesting theory ;)
