The year is 1902. Industrial and scientific development reach their peak. The world of la belle epoque is a world filled with flying machines and steam engines. The vessels that are the most awe-inspiring, are the military airships, floating fortresses of imposing size and powerful armament.

On August 1st, a new steam battleship is launched from the military airdocks on the outskirts of Vienna. The pride of K.u.K. industry, this is the first ship of a new series of Habsburg fighting vessels. This is the S.M.S. Monarch.

- -

This took a whole lot of time. From a tiny sketch made on a boring lecture at some point in May, to this final piece.

Drawn on A4 paper with a simple ball pen. I believe it was a Pentel, but it doesn't matter. A pen is a pen.

Note: The real-world Monarch-class Austrian battleships were smaller and of older design. This one is pure fiction, loosely based on Radetzky-class battleships from 1907/1910.

I hope you like it!
Best regards,
Tom. :)

It's a shame that Polish TV hasn't shown many Czech films, only cartoons - and so I haven't yet watched Zeman's movies. :( Thank you for a great comment though. Steampunk may not be a genre for everyone, but it's a great practice for imagination :) I'd love to see steampunk done in your style, as you already excel in it when drawing history! :)

Hey Tomek, this is a really cool drawing!! Thanks for sharing- this is actually quite inspiring. Somehow, I don't think steam jets are enough from a behemoth like that- perhaps she has a hull made of Cavorite?
