Spelljammer Ships

[vtsimz02]

My gamers are about to hit up the spelljammer section I have planned and I went a little overboard with mapping the ships...on the bright side I should have minimal mapping to do from here on out. I left out the crystal ship because the dimensions were waaaaay off and the Elven Armada from Space Lairs for the same reason. I also grabbed the top deck plans from Of Ships And The Sea for some of the groundling ships

I also have PNG files with the top decks of many of the ships (the ones where combat may occur) with transparent backgrounds in one of my albums if you anyone is interested

I'm a huge spelljammer fan. You've done a good job with these, and they're a real contribution to our spelljamming online community.

I'm currently running a campaign where my PCs are adventuring from the platform of a Tradesman skyship. It's a planet-bound, atmospheric campaign at the moment, where the spelljamming ships simply sail along the cloud tops and cannot go beyond a certain elevation. In any case, I wanted to give them a nice image for their vessel, so I found some tradesman artwork online and photoshopped some alterations. One thing I always disliked about the tradesman was that the sails were just waaay too huge and swoopy to be practical. So this tradesman has foldable, articulable sails on the side and top.

Note: As I've said, this is not really my own artwork. This is a photoshop mashup of images I found online and intended only for use in my own unpublished, personal D&D campaign.

That is pretty amazing. Have you heard of a SJ artist called, Silverblade: The Enchanter? Silverblade has made a lot of 3D Spelljammer art. He has made 3D models of many ships and has been kind enough to allow a couple of other artists to use his models, to make their own art. You would need to credit him, of course, but I think he would be happy to help you make more Spelljammer pictures, like the one above.

That is a fantastic body of work.

Would you be willing to have your cartography published by Wildspace: The Spelljammer Fanzine, so that more fans could enjoy it? You would get a credit, of course (you will have to say how you want to be credited) and you can have a link to your website or blog if you have one where you post your work.

Sure man, Im very open source about this stuff...I post it here so that people can use it so get it out there.

WOW !!!!! What you did here is just amazing ! oO It's exactly what i'm looking for !

Are those pictures big enough to print floor plans ?? (you know, to use with 25mm miniatures)

[Chrysalid]

Ok, i did it. I printed big maps for miniatures - just the Hammership for now - but it will be very usefull for our space explorations.

Thanks for your great work !!!

good to know that works most of them should be high enough resolution though some of them are reduced due to size...have the originals if needed
