The Floatports
Fantastic art by Banzz! Commission him here: http://fav.me/d9v215o
The term "Floaport" was initially used to describe any ship that would more or less hold a spot out in the ocean for the sake of helping other ships navigate and restock along the route from Escholzia to Eriast to Catheste. The originals were mostly just sailing ships, though the private companies that owned them outfitted them with some unusual features. The decks on these Floatports usually consisted of a store to barter for goods and a lighthouse to help sailors stay on track and find the ship. Housing was available under the deck, which was occasionally accompanied by a small clinic. One section of the ship would have a floating dock to which potential customers could moor their boats for a quick stop or a night's rest. The only major problem was that the ports themselves tended to drift and were not alw

At first, I thought this was a boat, now I realize that it's actually a city... Does that mean that I live in a giant boat?

Okay full comment time!
I totally dig this. This is better than what I had imagined. The green spaces were a fantastic addition that I hadn't considered. And I'm already thinking about the logistics behind making the window to the under city and the little port below. The window I think just needs a cover, but the port below might need to be built so that it can be folded up against the ship like a closed popup book and then be sealed around the edges somehow. It's fun to think about anyway. And I love the color in all of the buildings. There such a great contrast between the ship which is stark white and the city above. Since these weren't originally designed to grow into full cities, I think that marks the history well: floatports were meant to just perform a function, but overtime people added their own touches, so that the city became really impressive and full of personality on top of the bare bones of what the people were originally provided. I think you chose a fantastic angle to show the city off and the waves and ocean colors are really well done. This was such a cool piece to get. Thank you again!!!

This is what they should do to old aircraft carriers instead of scrapping them.
