Description
In Norse Mythology, Skidbladnir is a ship (the finest, actually) that was built by the dwarves as a gift to the gods. Freyr, one of the Norse gods, owned that ship. It was large enough to hold all of the gods on board.What inspired me to turn it into a Bakugan, however, was the notion that it could also FOLD UP to be small enough to fit in Freyr's pocket when not in use! (get it?
As a Bakugan, Skidbladnir is of the Aquos attribute. She is one of the very first (if not THE very first) Mechanical Bakugan in existence, and is several eons old (and is STILL working at her prime, being as durable as ever: Dwarf-tech is built to last). She can transform from a flying boat into a mechanical dragon (which you see here). She is equipped with all sorts of weaponry, which include a frost cannon in her mouth and heat cannons in her eyes (not to mention her natural claws and massive size and strength). She is part of the team "Nordic Frost" and can fit her other five teammates in her hull.
Skidbladnir also has an artificial intelligence... she has the mind of a feral dragon.
Skidbladnir is a Mechtogan-class Bakugan. Being such a size, and being a machine, she is often mistaken as a Mechtogan...
The ability to transform into a dragon was inspired by the fact that most Viking ships had dragon heads on the helm and dragon tails in the rear.
While Mechanical Bakugan technically have no gender, Skidbladnir is considered female (because everyone refers to a ship as "she", not "he"). Not to mention, she does act like a female dragon at times...

Sounds nice!
One thing is, however, I never usually like to sign up to play second fiddle... But, I may consider joining... for teh lulz.
However, I am seriously impressed that you have a whole website set up for the whole thing... (question... was one of the characters in the website's picture a re-color of Jaden Yuki from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX?)
P.S. Your Giga Bakugan are a lot like my M-Class and T-Class Bakugan. I will enjoy submitting those.

cool!
I'm glad she's a she-there need to be more girls in this show-not just pretty side character girls, actual fighting girls! After season 2 it's like they were wiped out of existence.

Dude, THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!
That's probably why I made so many female OCs...
Technically Skidbladnir really is genderless, but everyone calls ships/cars/planes/machines "she"... so why not do the same here?

Je l'aime: French for I love it
If you'd like, I can draw a machine type in Bakugan style and show you what I mean
Your welcome!
I have two erasers, so honestly, you could have one. I have never really used it with dark lines, but wen I did calligraphy, it worked wonders. It probably won't get completely rid of dark lines, but the erased won't be so obvious.
My curse is just the opposite. I do too many light, sketchy lines

Ah... ok.
I'd like to see that...
You'd do that? That'd be awesome! Maybe the next time I come over, we can test it...
That's awesome...
P.S.: You don't have to keep leaving new comments on the deviations... there's a reply button on the comment, so that when you use it, I can see your replies with any other replies I get! ^^

Yep! And if you come over, maybe I can give you and your brother a GIMP tutorial, 'cause that's great for erasing lines as well.
And I will get on drawing that
Yeah, I know. It took me a bit to find the reply. I either forgot where it was or they moved it

Je l'aime! The thing I like about the Bakugan is it really shows the flow of the muscle structure nicely, and you did a great job with this. The flow is sometimes the hardest thing to get with any drawing, especially action but even in standing.
If you ever want to borrow my nice erasers, just ask. I know how annoying it is to have eraser lines on a work! That's where my drawing light obsession comes from and my obsession with short sketchy strokes.

--- What does "Je l'aime" mean? Never studied French... ---
Thanks so much!
Muscle structure? Never really thought of a machine having muscle structure...
I appreciate the critique! Thanks again!
Eraser lines are kinda annoying, but I'm already used to them...
Thanks for the offer... but I probably shouldn't borrow your eraser, because then I would probably get reluctant about giving it back
(that is, if it works as well as you say it does... which I trust
)...
I usually draw hard, dark lines... It's my curse... which is also the reason why there are residual lines...
