Description Please full view, won't see anything otherwise

Finally finished. I'm going through how i made this picture in case people would like to know. The main hull, the balloon-like tank and the diagram that shows the interior parts were drawn on individual thick pieces of paper. Everything was touched with photoshop simply because the scanner i'm using isn't one of the best. The background was made from two stain-printed pieces of paper which i burned round the edge to break the outline in a nice way. The overall color was also altered to make it look old. The whole process from start to finish took around 2 weeks, 3 headaches, and almost a whole pencil from brand new.
(yes i still use wooden ones cause i hate the clutch ones!)

I went through alot of thinking to draw this. I believe this ship was something i came across alot when i
was a therian. The whole thing floats using Mercury vapour from gas producing trees. This gas got a red hue that can only been seen during the day and the tree harnesses it in the trunk, so it grows faster due to it's constant pull upwards.
As a result, the whole ship is made from this tree type, and got an onboard tree farm to maintain the mercury vapour. Mercury vapour is around 46 times lighter than
air. hydrogen is 13.

Thanks for the comment, i've never noticed the detail difference between the two websites so thanks for telling me. I won't be doing anything about it on TW though, it's not really an art website is it.
