Ascendants Airship – Exterior

I did most of the research for the shape and exterior design of the Ascendants’ flag ship that later became the Morning Star.
During the early research, it was supposed to be a fringe almost near future prototype vessel since airships were relatively new at the time of our story.
It also had to blend both early production and luxury yacht vibes to suit our antagonist’s refined tastes.
