Rendezvous Starboard Longitudinal Illustration by ~Coscomomo

Poster Style of the submarine boat “Rendezvous”
Starboard Longitudinal Illustration showing exterior view and a cut-away view.

After finishing both a steampunk diorama and an old styled illustration based on the Nautilus from “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” (For more information about this diorama please refer to “Diorama: Submarine Boat Rendezvous“) I wanted to go a bit further and so the thought of having a more realistic render of my submarine came to mind.

This render was greatly based on Disney’s Nautilus; the body of the fully fleshed Rendezvous is very similar.

Shading was done with Paint.Net using gradients and adjusting hues and shades; the end result is a composite of my drawing, textures ([link]) and as background the awesome background from [link] was used, you can find it here: [link]
