Or for your Elves, Post-Apocalyptic Survivors, as exotic hovercraft, etc….

Just found this drawing, in case anyone needs a little inspiration to make or convert their own.

I guess they could be used to make ice sailing craft too.

PS. Here are some other ideas I had posted in the not too distant past:

Pictures like these can get the creative-heart palpitating! Thanks, CC.

Yes, get those creative juices flowing!

Now, this is a beauty:

It's a hydrofoil trimaran!

It almost looks like one of the "water strider" insects:

First off, welcome back.

The image is from the Ergo Proxy anime. It's your basic "Post-apocalyptic domed cities man-vs-machine" show, with a plethora of good ideas in it; yet I never completely warmed up to it. YMMV.

Dan, you crazed monkey!

Ship poster is inspiring; find the not-Firefly.

I really love the first image of the The Birostis!

Now, imagine sails below in a slightly different direction, and the ship running the transition layer between air currents. I really think it's more sensible than the 'float up, glide down, rinse, repeat' I've seen elsewhere.

@Coelacanth That image has some feeling of parts of Golden Compass, for which I also had some mixed feelings, though on the whole, to which I did warm up.

I'll have to look up Ergo Proxy, especially if on Netflix.

I can mute the TV, and just re-run the images I like. ;->=

Edit: I quite like the image of his contrast 'junk' ships. link

For Orcs? Hummies? Post-apocalyptic have nots? Plenty exotic!
