The continued adventures of Atlas: The spice ship

[Hobbythom]

A spice ship slides across the shallow seas that surround the spice islands.

'You know brother, standing on the prow will not get us any faster in Sultan's Gate' Crius said. 'You've been standing there since we left home. Perhaps we should call you Atlas the Static and be done with this name quest. I can certainly vouch for that name'.

Atlas ignored his brothers jests. It was true he was anxious to set foot on the mainland. Sure as he was of the great deeds he would do and the proud name one of those deeds would earn him. 'It is easy for you to say Crius, you've had your given name since your fourteenth year. I am neigh 20 years and still have no worthy name to complement my first name. I do know posses your prowess or stamina that allowed you to dive to the deep and collect a razorshell for a spear. My skills lie somewhere else, though I don't know where yet. I just know it is somewhere beyond the horizon'. So Crius stood, watched and waited.

Hi guys,

This is the first part in the continued adventures of Atlas. It is a first for me in many ways: first time writing a story, roleplaying and building a ship. I am quite happy with the result. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

She's a lovely ship. Nice construction, very in theme.

What I can see of the ship looks good A picture from the side showing the whole ship would let us see it a lot better.

The water technique you used in front of the ship is interesting, I'd like to see another view of that too

Thanks for the replies! Here is a picture of the Narwhal from the side:

Interesting construction of the outrigger, is it based on anything in particular? The sail and rigging set-up looks unfamiliar to me, i don't know of any masts that have such an acute backward lean. But she looks very sleek and i like your minifig posing, especially of Crius. Photography is lovely too, very crisp!

I'm looking forward to Atlas and Crius's continued adventures!

Thanks everyone!

Gabe: I don't know the first thing about ships hahaha. But I was inspired by the fishing ships I saw on Java past summer, added some arabic influences and there you go!
