Description
A boat. Just a boat.
Based on an unused sketch I originally did for Pure Steam's first campaign book.
Speaking of Pure Steam! They just launched their kickstarter for their second campaign book It's going to be set in the Wild West!
(yours truly will be in charge of the new vehicles and equipment designs)

Good job you did here with a boat, but something seems to be wrong with the perspective of the wheel in the front. The rest is perfect.

Hehe, maybe yeah. This was a fun-funsies piece based off a 3" sketch.

At least with paddle wheels it should be easier to turn it and bring those guns to bear.

Also traveling mostly by river & inlet gives you a decent enough idea where your enemies are approaching from.

It reminds me very vaguely of Jabba's sail barge. Maybe the chunky design.

Also the huge sweeping canopied decks?
My upcoming assignment is going to be a desert skiff and boy howdy is it hard not to keep thinking about Jabba's skiffs while sketching. XD;

Again, I like boats; I love the colors. I also like the hints I just noticed of various machines and workings underneath that covering.

I still have a lot of unused vehicle sketches I'd like to mess with in the future.

PETE IN A SAILOR SUIT. SOMEWHERE IN THERE!
Ooh I like how you've sectioned off the roofs into separate parts to accommodate the height change. The watermill-like contraption really sells that factory feel

HMMM. MOST PROBABLY.
Thanks ~ I think I enjoyed the sketch because it had a subtle castle (or shantydown?) motif to it.
I was on a roll with paddle wheels, TBH.

MOST...DEFINITELY.
You're welcome! Castle shantytown? Sounds charming!
oh hooohoooo

That's a neat little design there! What sort of things does this mighty side wheeler make?
The waves are really neat in this pic.

Putting the little ball bearings in those aerosol cans.
Thanks~! I was experimenting with pencil scribbles in Screen mode.

A factory of what? Looks quite formidable as a gunship, with that steel roofing. What a big surprise to see one like it in the Mississippi.

In the original sketch it was bristling with way more guns, but I toned it down some.
The steel canopies are to keep the machinery inside safe. And maybe the workers too ...maybe.
If things go awry, they can make for the delta and non-extradition waters!
