Description
Hey all!So I wanted to present to you His Majesty's Shard-Ship Malthea's Dagger, last frigate in a long line of proud sailing vessels in the Royal Skystone Navy.
The whole story behind the ship and what makes it float is explained in the image itself, so I won't repeat myself and bore you guys silly. Just go and check it out!
Oh, and let me know what you think, obviously!

What a wonderful drawing. Another master of maps like my admired Sirinkman. Great design of this flying boat.

FANTASTIC!
I just had to read everything hahaha!!
This is so good! It's sad they were discontinued hehe... At least this one was kept!!
Unique story about the crystals, too!

Thanks! Yes, Malthea's Dagger will be around for a long time. But have no fear, its successors are equally formidable, if not more so. I might draw one of those one day, but for now they'll just have to live up here *taps noggin*

Hey Bepop! The ship uses wind to move about, and it uses the huge crystal (the "Skystone Shard") to stay aloft. Be sure to check out the explanation in the image itself if you want to know more!

The only thing I could dislike about this picture is that I cant physically explore the ship.

Thanks a bunch Alexis! I'm afraid that's something I can't really solve for you, but you can in your imagination!

Is it a 3D model? You could just drop the model into unity and put a simple FPS camera on it. Probably more involved than that actually but it can be done.

I did create a very rough version of it in Sketchup, but there's no decks, no sails, hardly any outer detailing and absolutely no crystal

Ah it's just a shell. A shame it would be a glorious setting for a game. Probably not the whole game but I think anything from the same world would be equally beautiful.
