Description Inspired by this. [link]

Sorry about all the text! I really do owe you guys about the logic behind Zenia, though. I might as well put down all the information, so not only you'll be able to understand it, but then I can understand it better.

I used traditional European ships as a reference, and maybe took a glance or two at some Final Fantasy airships...

And if you are confused about the whole "taking away life to give life" concept at the very bottom, its very much like alchemy. If you are going to make somthing, you'll have to give somthing of yourself in return. If the four or five scientists do not die during the creation of the Michondris, then it will not work like a living thing. If it's still confusing, send a note to me.

I'm seriously having the greatest day

Remember when you said you hated drawing mechanical stuff and like cars and what not? I think this is not a problem any more. This is so cool, and I want one.

Hahaha, thanks! It was still fairly hard, if I didn't have the references. I'm just not used to drawing this kind of stuff.

I think what made it easier for me is that I based it on the anatomy of the dragon.

I've been doodling concepts all weekend-- I'll show sommore of them to you if you'd like.

And by the way, I really really really really wanna make Crash into a Airship...captain...sorta person. Thing. Someday. When he's like, 30 or somthing.

Betsy, between you and Kaitlin, my brain is still crammed full of HTTYD happiness. That movie inspired you guys so much, holy crap!

I want that airship. I want it. I will help you build it.
It reminds me of the ship from Treasure Planet.

HEEEEEEY, IT'S PART OF THE ZENIAN SPACE PROGRAM!

I notice elements from Contact in there, too, with math as the universal language.

The one thing I'm not clear on is the last paragraph. Did the creators simply die during the process of creating the aircraft, or did they have to consciously sacrifice their lives for the completion of the project?

Yeah sorry I'm gonna retype that paragraph someday when I have the time. I kinda rushed it. It's sorta like Alchamy(sp?) in the sense that what you make you must give back. So by creating artificial life, the have to sacrifice their own.
Does that make sense?

Sorry again about the confusion.

HTTYD Won't leave my brain. It lives there now.

LOL Zenian space program....

I did get some treasure planet/final fantasy/european ship influence, yes!

Oh, yes, that makes sense. Like Fullmetal Alchemist, yeah -- equivalent exchange and whatnot. That makes sense. C:

Don't worry! I'm not confused anymore!

LOOOVEEE THIS. OMGGGG.

I also love that I'm able to catch all the little things that you used to put this together.

And that heart is so fucking cool. Maan this is just the best, the thought you put into it. Crazy.

You inspire me my friend. You inspire me like a very inspired person is inspired.

One thing I will say though is that I think the ships ability to fly in outer space may be stretching the science/fantasy line a little bit much. Maybe you should add a section explaining how that would work/be possible? Just a suggestion. C:

And I'm very pleased that I inspired you!

It's all cause of Toothless's prosthetic fin.

nebulafire In reply to Halo-Bot [2010-03-27 21:52:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! If it wasen't for HTTYD I would have never found the inspiration to make this.

There is another thing that I didn't end up putting in here (because I ran out of room.) It's about how speed is measured. From 1 to 9. On the planet, you can manage to get up to speeds from about 1 to maybe 3. 9 Is basically the speed of light. But it's measured like 1-1-2 and stuff idk. It's hard to come up with complex mathematic concepts from a more advanced world when you yousrelf are not a complex mathmatician.

Yeah, I agree. I'll have to put sommore thought into that one. Thanks!

Halo-Bot In reply to nebulafire [2010-03-27 22:01:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeaah I remember you talking about this after we saw the movie lol.

Awesoooome, I really like that measuring idea. KIND OF LIKE STAR TREK, EH EH? also a note, you may want to add something on to the ships that are capable of reaching that speed, because if the heart is capable of generating enough energy to travel at the speed of light, it also needs to be able to export that energy in order to actually achieve the action of traveling, since things in motion stay in motion, in space the ships wings would be a little ineffective. (like how an astronaut swimming in space doesn't go anywhere)

RGGG YOU ARE JUST TRIGGERING EVERY SCI-FI BONE IN MY BODY GET OUUUT.

nebulafire In reply to Halo-Bot [2010-03-28 02:23:14 +0000 UTC]

Yaa! Dude the wings would be completely pointless if they were to do space travel. I'll probably have to make a seperate one of these for the "Zenian Space Program."

WE SHALL SIT DOWN SOMETIME. And talk about sci-fi.

YESSS THIS DISCUSSION MUST TAKE PLACE. And you need to watch that imagining the 10 dimensions video that Libby showed me that you MISSED because you were sleeping.

Lol Zenian Space Program. That just sounds too bad ass.
