    Just completed the illustration view, though I need to create top down and a few other angles. This is the Spelljammer ship, Cristatus - a large Peacock Elven noble sloop, with presumably a crew of 36, in 3 shifts of 12 crew. This for an ostentacious, noble elf as a kind of aristocratic yacht. Although as shown is unarmed, it is always accompanied by an escort flight of Sparrowhawks. Beneath the poop deck under the ring of the tail sail is the helm, which also serves as a wizards laboratory and navigation. Beneath that is the noble captain's personal quarters. Beneath that is officer rooms for sick bay, galley and dining room, offices, with a stairs to floor above and stairs down. The main deck is the gravity plane, so all decks below are on the otherside of the gravity plane, includes crew quarters, armory, grain stores and cargo hold at lowest deck. A trap door on the main deck allows access for cargo, though at aft on the lower end is another larger bay door for accessing cargo. Tomorrow I'll work on deck plans and top down render...

    Next is a living tree ship, called the Arbor Galley, an official craft of the Astal Druidic Council. As a living tree, the aft end is the root ball, the midsection trunk has all the leaf branches which serve as sails. The forward part is a hollowed log with interior structure in the hollow, and living trees, grass as a grove above and below the gravity plane. Notably the passage across the gravity plane is via a pool of fresh water with fishes inside, 4 feet deep, but the top/bottom is the top on either side of the gravity plane. You can dive from one side to the other. The ship needs not enter a color sphere to refresh it's air bubble - the tree does that itself. A druid and staff operate this ship... enjoy!

    Next Spelljammer custom design is the Scylla lobster ship. This ship flies backwards uisng it's tail and leg fins as sails. I've repurposed a model I created as a Starfinder starship sized living construct with an entire family of crustaceans. I added the winglets on it's legs, cut out the back of it's carapace to place a deck and trebuche. At the rear I inserted a platform to mount a ballista. I figure this is a pirate ship. While it flies backwards at cruising speed. When approaching a targetted ship, it does a "Crazy Ivan" maneuver twisting it's tail fins and one sides winglets to rotate 180 degrees in order to grapple an opposing ship. Since I doubt Spelljammer ships are allowed to have crushing weapons to them, at least these claws should be allowed to grapple another ship...

    The Scarab is a destroyer class undead Beetle ship of the Anubians, a jackal headed gnoll humanoid. They worship Anubis and live as ancient Egyptian necromancers and slavers. These ships require constant surface oiling to keep the chiton from rotting. Animated dead is used once landed on a planet/color sphere allowing it to walk and attack structural targets on the ground. These beetles are from the jungles of the Anubian homeworld.

    Well these ships are for Dungeons & Dragons Spelljammer ships right? So I need to create at least on of these for flying beast based ships. This is the Drake class mercenary light destroyer (I reclassed the beetle ship to corvette class). This ship is long, but narrow with limited interior space, mostly in the body section. Enjoy!

    A thri-kreen operated armed bulk freighter, called the Locust, which is the size of a cruiser class ship. It features 3 trebuches and 3 ballista. The abdomen section is entirely dedicated to bulk cargo. Yes, grasshopper, it is a reaper of grains.

    I still need to add weapons platforms. I adjusted the model last night after rendering, with 3 ballista mounts over the neck and a catapult in the rear top shell. I'll make the adjustments and re-render, but this is the job I've done so for. Now there is a canon Sea Turtle Spelljammer ship that is capable of being a submersible. Well I did my non-canon version based on an Alligator Snapping Turtle shell and head - as it is more scary. Added marine turtle flippers and rendered it.

    The Zhitchaka are a humanoid crustacean race from a planet of shallow tropical seas, as a starfaring race of militant philosophers. They exist within the Kronusverse setting. (I'm currently sidetracked developing a collection of Spelljammer ships, but once done, I'll get back to setting development for Starfinder). This creature uses parts from a 3D insectoid collection by Bernhard Vanderhorst - not my 3D design.

    Another monster illustration, this one I call the Scorpion Spider. It has 10 legs, and unseen at this angle, an earwig's pincer on it's abdomen. I call this the Spider Hole, or why I stopped playing Solo adventures...
