[SR - FB4] The Bloody White Crow

[kaiju]

For a smaller vessel, the Bloody White Crow - referring to the blood streaks it's captain paints her in - is a surprisingly feared vessel. Not so much for it's own abilities but for the fact that said captain, one Jacqueline "Jack" Yharnam, is said to be cursed. The story, or so it goes, is that she was in Bastion one debauched night when someone gave her that most dreaded of curses, the black spot. As the mark began to form on her hand, Jack Yharnam cut the hand off to forestall the curse.

Whether or not it worked, or is even true, few are willing to sail under Cap'n Yharnam's command. On the other hand, some stories say the curse instead effects others nearby. Some crews surrender immediately lest they be afflicted.

Of course, it could just be that she is occasionally lucky and knows how to leverage her reputation for impressive ends.

Her ship of the last few years, the Bloody White Crow, is quite recognizable on the waters of Terraversa. A few people claim she exchanged it from Grayther Drave in return for an idol of pure gold.

And though small, it is not without some comforts, at least for the Cap'n.

This is freebuild number four, so are appreciated. This is going to be my free license once I decide if I want to call it a Class 2A or 2WR.

That rigging was a pain to do on LDD. I may try and add some crew for a couple more images later. Jack Yharnam herself appeared in an earlier freebuild, Drave's Emporium.

Comments and criticisms welcome.

Niiice! I love the colors used (they are leaning away from pirate tradition but they just look good!)

Very nice.....and I notice a "reddish-brown" technic beam.....I didn't know they came in that colour......off to bricklink!

Thanks. I decided to play with some brick built hull ideas and decided to keep the stern. It actually ended up easier to work with for building the cabin than the prefab piece.

Thank you. Originally, it was going to be a smaller red and black ship based on the Elves Epic Adventure Ship. I changed my mind and started from scratch. I have to cite the "White Pearl" as an inspiration, but I wanted something other than black to break up the white. The side effect of my choices is that the ship ended up in Assassin's Creed colours.

Thanks. As for the technic beam, the LDD let me colour it that way but Bricklink doesn't seem to have anything over 3 studs long in that colour.

Thank you. And no worries of that until the next round of MRCA.

On that note, in the end I registered the Crow as a Class 2WR.

Though I'm also thinking I should probably give her some anchors at some point. And maybe some lanterns for the (hypothetical) crew to see by.

This is a neat design. With that towering aftcastle, raising the forecastle and changing the rigging would turn her into a historic carrack or nau.

I really like the white/dark red colorscheme and the stern gallery is nice. Keep it up.

Approved.

I'm not 100% convinced that would work on this, but after a quick google to see what a carrack looks like it has given me some ideas for future vessels. And thank you for the kind words.
