From a practical esthetics point of view, the transverse canopy
on the right side really breaks up the smooth lines.
And it is a huge air dam.
Or is that canopy required for the air elementals?
(I know nothing about air elementals.)
Thanks a lot, both of you !
I've worked out a new and hope better version of the model for my next one, propelled by air elementals. Here's a view.

Thanks, bkh !
It's a purely esthetic choice to break a bit the flatness of the top sails.
Well, I didn't defined exactly how things works. The air elementals are more or less supposed to push the sails and the whole ship up in the air, plus probably participate to the directional moves (with the side sails, notably).
Anyway, I spent to much time on this model already, so...
On a different matter, here are some hand drawn tests about mountains & a new possible avatar/logo.

I love that you try new things including trying it by hand and the gecko makes a good kaiju !
Your gecko looks fantastic! Mountains aren't half bad either. I especially like the one with the fortress/structure built into it. I'd love to see that developed further.

Thanks guys !
I guess I should have done it yellow & black to avoid the gecko/salamander confusion. But I also like geckos... so no real problem here .
@ChickPea : I'm not really satisfied by this test for the inhabited mountain version. I'll probably give it a new try, though.
Right now (and as a break from other wip/commissions), I've mostly worked on this new version of Domhantyr, with the goal of showing main cultures. I finally chose to do "cultural crests" to link nations & cultures (dominant, not necessary the only one in a country, ofc).

Your work just gets better and better

Considering you all three are providing motivation & inspirational work, you are certainly (at least partly) responsible for my last tests. And thanks a lot !
A bit lost in heraldry for this map. I've done all the drawings (and got a bit overboard for some... I hope I'll be able to place them properly around the map...).
