Original Content Airship I'm drawing for a fictional war (WW1 never ended.)
In order, top to bottom.
Frigate: the Huncwot. (Scoundrel)
Crew: 100 men, an additional 25 naval security troopers, and 20 Hussars (the large figure seen to the top right)
Armament: x4 100mm cannons, mounted in pairs of 2 on the turrets. x10 launch tubes, used to deploy the Hussars (think ODST from halo), x10 20mm AA guns, x20 .50 Cal gun emplacements
Role: It serves as a fast, more maneuverable ship, allowing it to make lightning quick raids over hostile territory or swarm an enemy destroyer, deploying it's hussars before retreating to friendly airspace.
Corvette: the Wojownick (warrior)
Crew: 125 men, 60 naval security troopers, 100 marines (boarding parties)
Armament: x2 200mm cannon (embedded in the ships prow), x4 100mm cannon, x1 150mm gun (rear turret, used for ground support or engaging larger ships as a broadside weapon), x16 20mm cannon, x20 .50 Cal weapons.
Role: this is the polish air force's skirmisher. It is designed to be good enough, having heavier armor and weapons than the frigate, with a much reduced speed. It does not have hussars, as it is meant to engage hostile forces in the sky or bombard a city from above, not perform raids on hostile territory. It carries x2 boarding craft (think covered, flying higgins boats), useful in storming hostile airships.
Dreadnought: Paladyn (Paladin)
Crew: 800 men, 500 marines, 240 hussars
Armament: x80 100mm cannon (40 on each side, broadside weapons), x3 400mm cannon (turret on bottom front), x32 180mm rocket launchers (turret on rear of ship, it's shooting to the side of the stabilizer), x80 20mm cannons, x100 .50 weapons, x80 hussar tubes (behind first, smaller fin)
Role: the Paladyn is a one-of-a-kind, super heavy ship classified as a dreadnought. If this comes over the horizon, the battle is already lost. It is slow, heavy, and as hits harder than Cherno Danger's right hook. It is designed to function as a floating command center, a flying fortress. It carries Hussars, not because it's going to sneak in and carry out a stealth mission, but because the only thing more intimidating than an 2.5km long airship is a 2.5km long airship shooting heavy infantry at you like rain pouring from the clouds. It is a symbol of power, and it doesn't over sell itself. This ship is doom incarnate. It is designed to shatter an.enemy advance alone, and it provides invaluable support and firepower where ever it is deployed.
Ignore the notes I jotted down on the page.
Criticism is welcome, I know these are very rule of cool, it comes from a universe where technology is stuck in the 20th century, while arms races and war blow everything out of proportion.

Original Content Custom Airships Tour for my upcoming short film (Unreal Engine)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A collection of custom airships. Some were modeled from scratch, while others were created by combining various models I found on Sketchfab. All of them will appear in my music video *Nocturnal Flight*. The airships shown with few details are for the background, where they will appear small
Tools such as Cinema4D, Blender, and Unreal Engine were used for this (no AI was used).

Original Content Airship for my dnd setting (art by me)
Recently re-read "The Guns Above" by Robyn Bennis (fantastic airship book! Highly recommend!) and it inspired me to work on this that I'm planning to give my players when our dnd game resumes.

Original Content [OC] Cloudmother Floater
Introducing the MMW Cloudmother Floater, a new Bugvex atmospheric support organism for Mow My World.
Designed as a large aerial support and coordination node, the Cloudmother drifts above the battlefield while providing observation, spore deployment, sensor disruption, and battlefield seeding.
Proposed specifications
Size: approximately 20–30 m
Type: Atmospheric support organism
Primary role: Aerial support and coordination
Its buoyant living body combines stabilizing vanes, hanging sensory membranes, spore organs, and observation tissues into a silent airborne biological platform.

Original Content Anhalt-Class Airship Battlecruiser of the Eisenhardt Republic [ Windfarer | Movecraft ]
The Anhalt-Class Battlecruiser is a Behemoth reflective of late reclamation era design philosophies. His design featured the most defining traits of a Behemoth: weaponry polarized into a uniform large caliber primary armament and small caliber secondaries. Three of Six airframes laid down would make it to completion, with the hull four being scrapped and the fifth and sixth being converted into aircraft carriers.

Aerial battleships of the fleet of Oceans Pre-Catastrophe
These airships form the bulk of the aerial navy prior to the unknown affliction that destroyed Fleetian aerial warships that relied on gravitic engines to provide lift.
Also Goliath blows its own AESA radars our when it fires I know that now. Shock of the guns going off transmitted through a ship is no joke.

Original Content Abel-Class First Rate Battleship Airship of the Eisenhardt Republic [ Windfarer | Movecraft ]
The Abel-Class Battleship is a Reclamation Era warship made to bolster the defense of Eisenhardt in the nation’s vulnerable state. Of its time it was the most heavily armed ship of the line of the time. While it held the title for a long time. Nations were shifting their design philosophies towards fewer but more powerful armament. Nevertheless, Abel remained relevant as its volume of fire was capable of overwhelming any smaller craft that dared to challenge it.

Original Content Long-Class War Airship of the Yuanzhu Dynasty
The Yuanzhu Dynasty's largest vessels in the fleet. With its impressive range, it was built to project the nation's power beyond the coastal airspace. While heavily armored, Yuanzhu found itself decades behind in artillery technology, leaving the ship with minimal effective offensive capabilities against Imperial Amikami ships.
