The Pollenator's name derives from its form, which follows that of a humming bird. It has also been said to resemble a frog, a bat, and a moth. It is a refined flying apparatus, capable of terrestrial and aquatic landings. Balance is perfected when possible with additional landing structures that clasp the ventral glider perch. It has simple controls made possible by highly sophisticated artificial intelligence technology. To enter the craft, the dorsal grilled grass surfaces slide across each other, and it is conventional for the pilot, passengers, and luggage to be lowered from above. It is armed with a crossbow, the "stinger", which is automatically reloaded upon fire. A work of whimsy by an artist who hates flying. But maybe in another universe...

Wow... I love it! It's a more delicate and fanciful design than some steampunk aircraft. Awesome.

I like the atmosphere in this picture, and the vehicle is an intricate and interesting design.

Those wing looks paper thin... I'd hate them to split on me whilst flying it!
Great work!

Very cool object
Almost seems like it needs at least one 'arm/hand' up front.

That would be a cool idea. If I ever created another vehicle of this kind, I would consider it!

Heh, I spy someone piloting the craft.
The lighting is really awesome and I totally dig the texture work in the wings. Cool stuff.

No nuclear warhead or doomsday device? What a shame.
Nice though.

muhaha, they wouldn't be top secret if I mentioned them...
although, something tells me your doomsday designs would be far more effective than any of mine!
