been busy Not Drawing but allow me to rough design the Sirens' Song finally
#damn the fuck kind of tags does this bad boy get#sailship#worldbuilding#anyway. she's kind of a cross between a (smaller) portuguese galleon and a chinese junk#with a rig somewhere between a sloop and a brig :]#i just knew I needed the captain's quarters to be in the fore while the crew's quarters are at the aft for Plot Reasons#and i rlly wanted both a forecastle and a quarterdeck. because I like how they look#and went for a tiller over a wheel because A: it's not a Huge ship so a tiller would work. B: i like it. strays a bit from the expectation#of a lot of Sailboat Stories. with the classic Pirate Ship Look#also tho the Song's not a pirate ship! they're merchant sailors! she's an interislandary cargo vessel#hence the big ass hold and smaller crew#also gunpowder isn't really a thing in synsolic so they don't have cannons. which Also saves space#ballast would just be placed in the hold wherever it's needed to keep weight distributed well. there's no set Room For Ballast like some#(mostly larger) ships have#oh also the actual rigging up there is very simplified Obviously. she's got way more ropes and blocks n shit than that#that's just kind of the Main Places Things Go. and obviously it would vary with tack#she's got stairs instead of ladders because satyrs can't rlly use ladders as easy as humans can... like they COULD but theyd need#much broader steps so u may as well make stairs. on account of Hoofs#oh and i didn't draw it. i forgor. but the capstan Is on the weather deck and is about above the galley#:] that is all. i <3 sailships#mayhaps one day ill design the serpent's tail and/or halcyon. methinks the tail is more sloop-like and the halcyon is Big. ish#idk what it was designed for tho. like the tail was a fishing vessel. the fuck was the halcyon????
