The Mare Nubium Sets Sail

Description

I'm a big fan of airships, and the more literal the "ship" part, the better, so naturally I was thrilled that such things are a part of official MLP canon. (It's also a reason why I'm so enjoying Flight of the Alicorn, which certainly was a huge influence on this image as well.)

So it was inevitable that I'd have to get around to designing such a ship for my own amusement... and who is more deserving of a tall ship and a star to steer her by than the Princess of the Night herself? The Mare Nubium ("Sea of Clouds") looks to be a personal vessel for nighttime cruises with a few steampunk touches. I admit, I'm very tempted to jump back in and design her a warship named "Mare Crisium" next, but I'll hopefully come to my senses when I recall how much of a pain it was to draw this one.

On a side note, I'm not sure there ever is a crescent moon hanging over Equestria... and yet one makes up Luna's Cutie Mark, so it seems like it would have to be possible. Don't ask me how such a thing would work with the whole bizarre rotations of heavenly bodies that the Princesses have going on. That kind of thing hurts to think about for too long.

Oh, and by all means, please click on the image above and look at the big version.


After being told to do so numerous times, I have finally set up a tip jar at Ko-Fi:  ko-fi.com/harwicksart
If you're feeling generous and would like to encourage me, feel free to drop me a small amount... it would be most appreciated!

Santiano - Rolling The Woodpile

Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


A way down South where the cocks do crow

way down in Florida, them girls all dance to

the old banjo and we roll the woodpile down.


Oh, what can you do down in Tampa Bay,

way down in Florida? But give them yellow

girls all your pay and we'll roll the woodpile

down.


Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


When I was a young man in me prime way

down in Florida, I'd take them yellow girls

two a time and we'll roll the woodpile down.


We'll roll him high and we'll roll him low way

down in Florida, we'll heave him up and away

we'll go and we'll roll the woodpile down.


Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


My dear old mother, she wrote to me way down

in Florida. Oh, my little son, come from the sea

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


She sent me money, she sent me clothes way

down in Florida, I drank the money and I pawned

my clothes and we'll roll the woodpile down.


Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


Rolling, rolling, rolling the whole world round.

And that fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.


That fine gal of mine's on the Georgia line,

and we'll roll the woodpile down.
