Beautiful.. I have had this dream too

Very nice

Hi Maaria,

I just got pointed at your awesome picture, by a friend called Ávár. He thinks that your ship looks like it could be a ship from Spelljammer, and I agree.

Spelljammer is a fantasy RPG campaign setting, for Dungeons & Dragons, where open decked ships fly up into space (it is called "Wildspace" in the game) and bubbles of air ("air envelopes") naturally form around the ship as it leaves a planet. Many of the ships in that game are shaped to look like insects or birds.

I love all the little details you have, like the broken wing feather, the gap in the deck rail and the holes in the bottom of the hull. It really makes it look like some sort of disaster happened to the ship. They remind me of my favourite painting: a Spelljammer painting called "Last Descent" by Jennell Jaquays.

I would love to put your ship into Wildspace: The Spelljammer Fanzine, so that I can show it to more Spelljammer fans. I will be happy to link anywhere you like in return, and credit you however you prefer to be credited.

And if you have a name for this painting (or the ship) or you recall any other details of the dream that might help people use your ship in a tabletop game, I would love to hear any other details about this picture.

That's what happens when you leave the parking break off. Great work. It reminds me of the Golden Condor from Mysterious Cities of Gold.

Wow, this is super cool.

Reminds me of the Golden Condor from Mysterious Cities of Gold.

Miyazaki was one of the first things I thought of when I saw this. I love how it has little wheels underneath it, almost as if it wasn't so big, it could have been a fantastic pull toy.

Awesome, love it <3

awesome

I agree with the others: WOW

Love it.

wow

Wow, this is amazing! I love how you kept the dream-like flow and feeling of it *v* And the colours and lightening... it all looks so good <3

"It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's . . . . . . . both?"

Incredibly inspiring

I love how this could be an illustration out of a children's book. It really captures the "action" of the moment, and you just know that grappling hook probably won't make it, but there's the small chance it will!
Wonderfully compelling piece!

It reminds me of the golden condor from The Mysterious Cities of Gold, such an excellent series.

GORGEOUS! it kind of looks like an Egyptian machine (I wish there were some lol)
