    This is also part of the fantasy setting that the ducks above also belongs to, but this one is in the modern era.

    A medieval castle build on a rocky shore with a modern city in the distance. That giant mast with platforms is an airship port. In fact the castle in the foreground was also an airship dock in the past, the tall stone tower with a wooden platform can serve a single airship, which are rarer in the medieval times. Medieval airships used gasbags filled with alchemically altered air that makes them even more lighter that they can carry a wooden carriage up a few hundred feet into the air. They're mostly used as couriers or to carry important passengers at the time as experiments in using them for military or commercial purposes yields lackluster result due to their low weight capacity and fragility. However, the advent of thaumic engines during the industrial revolution capable of creating a continuous lifting spell over a large area leads to the rapid development of heavy airships that can fly faster, higher, and for a longer time in a large number. Not only it changes the economy by allowing the flow of trade and people over previously remote landlocked area, but also changes the face of warfare with the rise of flying warships that can lay destruction from high above.

    Album featuring everything here for easy viewing.

     

    This is like what, my third art thread here? I keep myself that I'm going to draw something everyday for practice but I keep failing on that. Oh well lets hope this one last at least a week.

    Stuff from discord I drew yesterday and today:

    Fantasy characters from a series I'm working. They're basically are duck people with culture themed after ancient Celtic/Germanic culture. Along with some shield designs. Some lore:

    1. A Fyrd spearbearer. The commoners of medieval Ganschenland, the Kotters, are free unlike the peasantry in many other place at the time. However, they're culturally very strongly bond to their clans in the matter of everything. During war half of the adult population of a clan would form a warband (the Fyrd) and fight in the service of their Thanes. Often relying on their number, the average fyrdling are often only equipped with spears and shield, sometimes with gambeson vest and simple helmet. Thus they often fights in massed shieldwall which is actually effective against cavalry. Traditionally only used for defense, the intensifying wars have pushed the kingdoms and tribes into using their fyrds in long campaigns, a very unpopular move.

    2. A Karlar. The karls are a class of landless nobles serving directly under a thane. Originally they're merely hired servants paid by their thane (unlike the kotters who must instead pay tribute in exchange for protection) to take care of their estate. While in the earlier times it was only the thanes who fights in the clan wars, but the clans forms into tribes and eventually into kingdoms, the karls are then armed by their masters and eventually transforms into semi hereditary warrior retainers. Often well armed with proper metal armors as they're funded by their rich lords, they primarily fights as heavy infantry while the thanes fights as cavalry, although some tribes are known to also train their karls as riders.

    3. A Thane. The thegns are the top of the Ganschling society, the land owning ruling class since the early days of the clans and tribes. Unlike the nobility in other civilizations, the Ganschling nobility is "flat" with informal hierarchy based on personal honor, wealth, etc, with position of leadership like chieftains decided by the vote of a noble council. Is it only with the formation of kingdoms with powerful chiefs crowning themselves as Kunigs that there's something that is clearly above the thegns. In battle they traditionally fights as cavalry, riding the various giant insects of Ganscheland, giving them various advantages over the foot soldiers. They also often equips themselves with expensive thaumic infused weapons and armors along with rare alchemical potions granting all sort of abilities, from breathing thunder to healing even the most deadly wound.

    So this will take place in an Internet based game setting...I really hope that it doesn't because that will lose part of the nostalgia based appeal the original successfully nailed.  But hey, minus the Planes movies, Disney hasn't made a bad original animated movie in the 2010s.  I will definitely be willing to give this a chance just on goodwill from the original alone.

    Oh crap they're trying to be current? This movie is going to get dated real bad. I'm losing faith that this will be good, but I'll watch it anyway.
