Description I have been trying to do a good weekly drawing but I keep falling short so, here is something rough for this week. Probably more suited for the scraps page, but I have been posting too many things to there as of late..

The French Bretagne Class battleship Lorraine. The Lorraine earns a special place among the WWII battleships for me as one of the few French Battleships that managed to see action as part of the Free French Forces near the end of the war. Lorraine had the third turret in the center removed and replaced with a catapult and hangar, so ideally the rear section would also have a turret on the two sister ships. Secondaries reflect the late war refit but I was too lazy to add the multitude of 40mm mounts that were added in this refit. Also lots of the lovely casemates that I am so fond of adding. I tried to do a few different angles rather than just a front view to give a better idea of how the rigging holds together. 

Outfit is loosely Touhou based with various things modified as desired ( Given that there was a French battleship under construction sharing the name of a certain Touhou, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch~

I've seen what the actually ship looks like and the mast/conning tower looks freaking beautiful!

Yeah, there is something about the older tripod masts that looks very elegant compared to the large purely functional bridge towers on the more modern battleships

She looks pretty cute! It would be nice to see her all colored up, but she's looking fine so far!

Thanks. May do a colored version at some point, it was more of a respite from digital drawing at this point.

Well, there's nothing wrong with going back to basics! I still prefer to do preliminary sketches on physical paper.

My inner fantasy is like - "One 'BAM!' from the cannon and she fell down".

Now that's moe

To be fair her cannons are smaller than any of the current battleships in kancolle. Though it would make for a cute(and/or fanservicey) moment if the recoil from the guns did make her fall.
