Draft photoart for the GB/CB/Super Fast Battlecruiser (original concept)
These evening, I started a photoart piece for the British Superfast Battlecruiser, as I have called it. The original concept was for a speed beyond what is feasible. With Springsharp, it seems like a speed of as much as 40 knots would be possible. For those who don't remember, this type has 4-17in/45 BLR and 16-4in/50 QF guns. The armor is on the order of 8in on the belt. The whole purpose was to explore the limits of speed and striking power. I will probably continue to tweak and refine the drawing. I say that, because that is the pattern I have been following, as I learn the art of drawing on photographs.
