The Valkyrie and the Admiral"But Admiral, you really can't pass up an opportunity such as this!" cried out the bronze Sergeant-at-Arms.

He was following quickly on the heels of Admiral Lionus Blackwing as they left the Admiral's guestroom on the capitol grounds. The Admiral fastened the jacket flap on his chest as one of his honor guards quietly shut the door behind them.

"Gaius, like I've told you before, I have no intention of seeking the position of Consul. I do not desire nor crave that sort of power, nor am I what you call an expert in the battlefield of politics," the Admiral muttered, striding in a confident manner down the Citadel's balco

Dreadnought I.C.A.S. Traflagarby ~Lionel23

Digital Art / Drawings / Illustrations / Conceptual

Conceptual drawing of an Imperial Battleship-class airship by ~kakapoopie. All credit goes to him for coming up with this conceptual design.

The ICA Traflagar is the primary flagship of the Imperial Central Authority in my book I'm working on, the primary enemies of the Arcadian Republic.

Currently it is the command ship of Army Group South as the empire attempts to wipe out the Republic ally of Elysium (a paladin-descended nation). The story is set in a mix of World War 2 mixed with high fantasy (so magic co-exists with tanks and battleships, but no lasers or robots!).

Ship design based heavily off the famous 'Yamato' battleship, though uses a very unique skeletal frame design to make the ship lighter than she looks and thus more capable of airborne flight. The ship is armed with 3 'quad' 18-inch turrets, rivaling the firepower of almost all but the Republic's heaviest ships of the line.

In this drawing, the Traflagar is fighting off an allied airstrike before she can join her accompanying fleet, the intent of the plan to prevent or at least slow the arrival of such a heavily armed warship in an upcoming battle.

Looking at this while trying to find ideas for aerial battleships in my universe has just taken my thinking to a whole new level!! WOW! I LOVE the way this looks! From what it looks like here, I'd be intensely interested in the story you're working on!

It seems the Yamato always does a good job for inspiration for the most evil-looking warships, doesn't it?

Its kinda how the Bizmark sank. only it got jumped by two allied ships instead of an air attack and later on it was sunk by a torpedo boat. Awsome ship

I'd like to see a fleet of those in the air

Heh thanks, check the rest of my gallery for ships being drawn in my world. Once the basics are down, I plan to have a battlescene drawn together to show what combat is like for the readers of my story ^^

The amount of AA fire and flak in the sky makes everything so much cooler. Also- did you use stock images for the airplanes?
