NAUTILOID BATTLESHIP
The Mindflayers are amongst the most feared
race in the Universe, eaters of living brains, psionic
enslavers of worlds. Here, one of their ships, a nautiloid,
sails for the barren moon of a rich, aquatic world,
from where they plan to embark on a new campaign of
enslavement.
On the deck, a crewman forlornly stares out in the hope
for release from his pain and mental control. 30/08/2002

June, 2006. I've been rebuilding the nautiloid
in Rhino3D, for both artistic renders, and to let Spelljammer
fans have a good series of visual aids to help inspire their
D&D games :) The original deckplans and beautiful external
artwork did not match up in terms of scale, so I went with
the deckplans for approximate scale, and added a lot more
detail and tweaks:
|
|
Same happened with the Deathspider, though
the Deathspider deckplans scale was a bit better. These are
renders of the Nautiloid model without texturing to illustrate
the design and layout.
