Remember the swan I drew a few days back ...
I started diddling it's neck and made the bow of a vikingship ..
I then kept on drawing and made theese fine ships.
Do you like them ?
Which do you like the best ?
Why ?

This was a very early version of the ship.
I realised that vikingship didn't have sails like that and remade it

I was thinking that the mast could be draw better .. but I need a reference to
vikingships so I can know how they should look. I like the oars though.
combining the top sail and the oars... it looks cool you can imagine these folks in hot pursuit of some imperial vessel, laden down with jewels, spices, and other valuables. > ~. > Ya...___|__..aab . . > Y88a Y88o Y88a ( ) > Y88b Y88b Y88b `.oo' > :888 :888 :888 ( (`-' > .---. d88P d88P d88P `.`. > / .-._) d8P'"""|"""'-Y8P `.`. > ( (`._) .-. .-. |.-. .-. .-. ) ) > \ `---( O )( O )( O )( O )( O )-' / > `. `-'//`-'//`-'//`-'//`-' .'

Using the oars to gain extra velocity ? Hmmm .. it seems unlikely , they would most likely be preparing for battle rather than using their strenght on rowing - If they were to row then they would be all fatiqued when they reached the imperial vessel. > > ~. > > Ya...___|__..aab . . > > Y88a Y88o Y88a ( ) > > Y88b Y88b Y88b `.oo' > > :888 :888 :888 ( (`-' > > .---. d88P d88P d88P `.`. > > / .-._) d8P'"""|"""'-Y8P `.`. > > ( (`._) .-. .-. |.-. .-. .-. ) ) > > \ `---( O )( O )( O )( O )( O )-' / > > `. `-'//`-'//`-'//`-'//`-' .'

Do you have a link to possible imperial vessels ? - I might draw the senario you wrote. Asterix images are fine too

And they just might have rowed to gain momentum, who knows?

One thing about sail boats which I learned when I was about ten years old and made the same mistake: the flag goes in the same direction as the sail! 8-) (and didn't they "fold" down the entire mast as well as the sail? I don't recall seeing pictures of viking ships with that H-shaped consctruction on them...) > > you can imagine these folks in hot pursuit of some imperial vessel, > > laden down with jewels, spices, and other valuables. > > Using the oars to gain extra velocity ? > Hmmm .. it seems unlikely , they would most likely be preparing for battle > rather than using their strenght on rowing - If they were to row then they would > be all fatiqued when they reached the imperial vessel.
