Description
Two Harbors MN, 2086. Designed to hover over water rather than float in it, this ship hovers about 100 meters over the surface of the water, rendering it impervious to Lake Superior's vicious storms. Intended to haul iron ore, its heavy duty construction would also make a great mobile base for a villain. Boss fight anyone?Related content

Beautiful. Scenic. Lovely. Vulnerable to attack. Excellent workmanship and vision. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.

Thanks for telling me. Judging by broken link, it's been taken down.

Been to Two Harbors MANY times. Would love to live long enough to see this.

There's something wild and mystical about that area. The scenery is beautiful but the lake and the cold will kill you if you disrespect them. It's the stuff of Norse sagas.

This really reminds me of EVE. I know it's not all spacey sci-fi. But I like it

I had to do a double take when you said Two Harbors because I though this was a real thing.. Awesome job!

Ilike this alot, it's such a great idea and the ship looks great, the floating one. It would make a great game or movie.

Hey,
Wow, that's one of the most convincing industrial science-fiction designs I've ever seen! You don't find that very often.
Congratulations for a great work of art and well deserved DD.
CU & greetings

*whistles* Where can I find me an airship like that?

I. LOVE. IT. It's not every day you see art like this with a mysterious individual in the foreground. And I'll bet it would make one awesome boss fight. If only my best boss fights could be shown on youtube (I was unable to record them and still cannot do so until I get a laptop and some other stuff). They were the best fun I ever had in a video game. Same goes for some fights I had with my best friend in a Naruto game a while back.

More like 'ore haulers. Guess they have to be that big to carry your mom.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Great piece.

Amazing art and world-building! Though I'm curious as to whether or not Split Rock Lighthouse is still around as a reminder of when ships sailed in the water.

How does that make it immune to storms which are atmospheric in origin? Winds, rains, lightning?

Lake superior is pretty swag, I can see it through my bedroom window

The lighting on this piece has been brilliantly done

Actually, it may not get hit by waves, but it would still have to contend with gale or hurricane-force winds, as well as lightning strikes and/or hail damage.
A submarine would be better. 100, 150 feet below the surface, the water is unaffected by even the worst storm. A ship would have very smooth sailing underwater.

Wait, it's not a photograph of some foreign craft? That's what I thought it was

I grew up not far from there. They'd have to rebuild the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth to accommodate these though.

That looks frickin real---brings to mind the Jules Verne story, "Master of the World".

Really nice,
Inspired by the Homeworld ship design?

It would make a great final dungeon to scramble through. I want to see what's inside it.
