Description Concept exploration for a (evil) changeling airship

I don't think it's very changeling-ish, instead looks like a turtle + angler fish... (fail). I should try studying more insects for this.

I dunno, I'd say this sort of look is exactly what I'd assign to changelings myself. Nothing fail about this.

given what I know of airships, and sailing ships, and the mechanics of how they work

I'd say this looks like a ghost-ship version of an airship

with the tattered gas-cell being very similar to the shredded sails of traditional ghost-ships in stories.

And while it may look more marine than insect, it looks perfect for evil and spooky.
the Green evil glow hinting at the large amounts of magic that would be needed to keep it air born
and the holes and shapes of the hull, clearly intended to look like the faces of some evil monster.

The design is very well done.

as for you wanting to make a second design that's more insect like

what about an airship, shaped like a dragonfly, or centipede

but large enough for 1 to 3 airships to dock on top of the gas-cell

and a long gondola underneath the main gas-cell

4 wings, a pair of wings at the front and back
6 wings, a pair of wings front back and middle
8 wings, 2 pairs at the front and back
or wings along the entire length. centipede style

fighters would be regular changelings
bombers would be large dragonflies that would carry a payload in their legs or long tail

and a pilot in front of the wings, and the bomber behind the wings.

Hmm... thanks for the comment and input, I especially like the dragonfly carrying stuff idea. Maybe I'll try it out some time.

That looks incredible. very nice. The colors and lights are just awesome. As far as the design, it almost reminds me of spriggans such as in the Elder Scrolls games, which is somewhat fitting since the changelings were born from a corrupted magic tree.

Side note since you mentioned them, apparently angler fish can be like 9 feet long, that's a nope. I'd rather encounter sharks...and here i thought they'd be maybe 1 or 2 feet long...

The front reminds me of the Flying Dutchman from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Reminds me of the asteroid coaster boss in sonic colors. That's what I thought it was at first.

Not a  bad start for the concept, I think. I rather like the haunted look to the whole thing.

Though now I'm imagining Chrysalis wanting to use this on some honeymoon with Twilight and the latter having to explain that conquest is *not* how she wanted to spend their time in the south.

Yeah, I just love Chrysalis being depicted in this way.

I assume you are the author of "Read Me Like a Book" on Fimfic? That was a good story!
