This is another piece of backer art for the Roan RPG. The pegasus in this picture is Silver Star and in spite of sustaining some horrific injuries he went on to become a visionary and vocal proponent for a strong, unified air force in Roan. Here he stands upon the deck of Roan warship observing maneuvers by the combined forces of the Roan Air Force.
The piece is my usual mixture of colored pencil, marker pen, technical pen, and white gouache. The image size roughly 14"x11" and is on vellum finish Bristol Board.

Where's the 75mm tank gun?!?
The B-25 Mitchell was a long range medium bomber mostly given anti-sub / anti-shipping coastal patrol duty. The tank gun was added when the army realized that the flight crews were shooting the heck out of ships rather than just bombing / torpedoing them. They'd use the forward nose mounted machine gun fire to line up the plane up with the target for the tank gun shot.
I wish our WW2 planes had been as cool looking as the "Advanced strike aircraft" in your scene.

Yeah, one of the things I realized almost immediately when I started designing airships for this universe was the fact that unlike a surface warship an airship has to fight in three dimensions. At that point I started to think and design their armament layout more in terms of WWII bombers. Guns would need both elevation and depression, and you'd want belly protection to for the ships. Although turret location can create all kinds interesting solutions and problems. I hope to organize my notes and put them up online at some point.
I'm glad the deck actually looks like wood; I put some thought into it before starting on the piece.
