EDIT: Link to the deviantart; I forget sometimes that tumblr shrinks large images: Fear Naught but Dread Luna
I finally finished it! As regular stream attendees know, I’ve been working on this piece of wonderful absurdity for some time now. It’s all @ncmares’s fault – after I saw him working on a giant ship pone or two, I had to give it a go myself. (I’m not into Kantai Collection or KanColle, btw.) There’s a giant Celly that goes with this nicely.
There’s plenty of flaws in this, of course – but overall what I like outweighs what I don’t. These are actually the first two battleships I’ve ever painted – despite my love of ships, I’ve barely even drawn any 20th century craft before. The ships are the Texas and the Royal Sovereign. Luna’s kit is based off the famous Dreadnought of 1905. I let the picarto chat choose which battleships I’d paint, and a shout-out again to them choosing a pair of ships that could actually served alongside the Dreadnought. Given having never painted either before, I’m quite pleased with how they turned out.
The title is playing off of Dreadnought’s ship’s motto, by the way: Fear God and dread naught.
