Description
The Forecastle of the Mighty I.A.S ANTHEOS with it's six 1000mm Main Rifles.and the face of the legendary heroic NOX cat the Ship is christened after.
A challenging drawing to do (As in all battleships).
This is particularly difficult due to the bow curvature compounded by the perspective view.
Plus the 4 anchor Chains... (sigh)
Work in Progress...
Also Antheos was an old character once used by

Yes, I do. I also started with TLKFAA. Art style and the whole story were something new to me, they were so lively and thoughtful, so dramatic and interesting, that they instantly became part of my life and inspiration. Not mentioning I always felt something for setting like hers.
Well, I can say that the character was inspired by Nananki, or Red13 influenced her world, but still this creation of her was awesomely inspirational itself and became worthy of his "ancestor". I remember the days when I longed for new art pieces of uploads of Nox website (remember the modem connection) and now I glad I saved them to my HDD.
It was a strike for me also when all those issues came out that made Saskia delete all old art and sites. I was sad and imagined what an awful situation this should be for the author. It was too hard for her to continue, I guess, after all this things and Nox world being dead for her maybe was some kind of self-defense... I dunno for sure. Well, no way that came without heavy consequences.
I still love the Aslekonn and Antheos in particular.
BTW, as an appreciator, do you have any of her old art? I may share stuff I got in my turn - I want to collect and preserve all her creations in order it not to be lost in time and net.

No I lost her old art when My first PC hard drive crashed for good.
The only way I can reconstruct Antheos now is from the old drawings I made and one small art trade Evana made in 2001.

Eh. That Nox creature was a hero of my childhood.So fine to see I`m not the only one who knows and remembers, and naming a battleship is really cool idea as for me.

Thank You
You mean Saskia Lemke's Antheos.
Yeah the Character was amazing and she had one of the best Galleries on TLKFAA at the time.
The story was appealing too... and few on that site at the time with debt.
It went sour when everybody copied her style.
Her character was already inspired by Nanaki of Final Fantasy 7 (If I'm not mistaking) But allot of people on TLKFAA at the time specifically copied her design instead of going to the source.
I remembered her complaining about it and she left soon afterwards.
I showed her this right after I posted it...
She explained that her story and her Nox character is dead and buried for years... Unfortunately.
Oh Well.
This is my way of remembering a bygone Era.

Yes I know King george V
wery well and I know that Prince of wales nearly escaped Bismarck whe her guns jammed only her twin-turret was problem free.
Your ship now looks much more Yamato like.
Especialy her command bridge is practicly the same.

The ships in the Anatonyan navy have ships similar in Design to Japanese vessels on Earth.
And yes this ship I based on Yamato.
Only the secondary gun layout is Different and the smokestacks are lacking since she practically runs on Seawater (Nuclear Fusion).

Wait didn,t this ship have 4 cannons in each turret.
And by the way every picture that you make is better and better.

Well Observed.
Well that's according to the old design.
The quad turret looks impressive and it's a good weight saving method to cram as much guns as possible on a limited displacement.
But there is a trade-off.
According to Definitions and Information about Naval Guns
"Gun Index / Turret Efficiency - Guns in multiple mounts always lose efficiency as compared with the same number of guns in single mounts. This is a factor of reduced rate of fire, shell and powder handling awkwardness, interference between gun crew and shell handling crew, fire control, salvo problems and so forth. To account for these factors, there is a gun-index rule of thumb that goes like this: A twin mount is roughly 1.75 times as effective a single mount, a triple mount is roughly 2.5 times as effective as a single mount and a quadruple mount is roughly 3.125 times as effective as a single mount."
Case in Point the British KGV classes with their quad mount suffered from jamming problems due to complexity of those turrets and the France's Richelieus have Rate of Fire nearly half of that of the German Bismarcks while having the same gun size.
Hopefully this Explains why I reverted back to Triple from the older Quadruple turret.
Triple turrets give the best bang for the buck of both weight saving and gun efficiency.
That's why most designs around WW2 have triple gun turrets.

Thank you very much.
This was really tricky to pull of especially the bow shape.
I also have to ask Saskia Lemke what her Nox character looks like now since I haven't seen a pic of him since 2001.
