The Airship Nackion Drive - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia! This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle. This is a supporting piece of spot art for The Airship I recently shared. This image shows a powerful and mysterious Nackion Drive that powers most modern airships. Created by the Nackion Corporation, the Nackion Drive is one of the most closely guarded mathematical secrets on the planet. This particular model depicted in the illustration has secondary advancements like the Construct Guild additions to the left and some Shapermade Industries "improvements' to the right. I present to you The Airship Nackion Drive.

This is one of the many pieces I completed so far this year. It has been a blur of pencil and paint. Nice to finally be sharing them. Here is a look at the sketch of The Airship Nackion Drive to show where it began.

As a bonus, I have some images of the rendering process of this piece so that you can get a better idea of it taking shape. This piece went quickly, so there are only three images to share.
