Evolution of the British Leviathan Part 2
So with my comments to “make it more faction unique”, Doug returned to his secret workshop and generated another series of sketches.
So iteration 3 moved forward significantly towards a final look. The electroid tanks were moved to a saddle-like system that really gave the British their own look and feel. Additionally the fins in the back really helped to separate this ship from the previous iterations, which still looked a little too wet-navy.
However, the trim tanks along the side became too streamlined and looked almost a little too modern, while the smoke stacks were pretty anemic. Additionally, we still were not very happy with the look of the ducted funs in the stern.
Doug generated iteration 4, once again taking my comments into consideration, and the look almost completely snapped into place. While there was still some niggles here and there that I wanted him to address as we moved to a final full-color illustration, iteration 4 pretty much was the ’style’ that would stamp all future British ships.
See ya duty shift.

Though I would prefer iteration 3, as it looks absolutley stunning to me, and is a nice seperation from the French, I think 4 is very good and I can see it going forward as the master copy for all British airships.
Looking great!

They all look wonderful
I think I prefer the bow in the third iteration. Reminds me of Space Battleship Yamato. XD I do prefer the funnels on iteration four though, as well as the exhaust areas in the stern.
I think they are both great, but I prefer the superstructure, turrets, masts and funnels on iteration 4. Either way, I love where this is going!
Comparedto the French ships, the Britsh look like a pig’s breakfast
IRL the British had problems with the funnels being too short and the bridges and fighting tops getting smoked out at speed. I can definitely appreciate the differences between iterations 3 & 4. I like them both, although the tanks being ‘too modern’ in It. 3, I agree with. However the distinctive bow and depth of the hull might suggest another power; Germany or Austo-Hungary perhaps! Keep up the great work!
man, im liking this, a few of us are watching this and cant wait for the game,
is there going to be a forum soon we can join?
Thanks…appreciate the great comments, as do the authors. As for forums, we’re starting to look at that, but they likely won’t guy live until we’re closer to the launch of the game.
Looks great. IMO you made a great choice in the final style of the ship.
I second the proposal for adding a forum.
Finally, MORE PICS!!
