Pirate ship - Eternity

These are the designs for the pirate's ship - R.S. Eternity! (sorry for lack of color, but it's mostly gonna be brown anyway ) It's sitting low in the ater in this sketch...oops!

The Eternity is a brigantine, meaning it's a two-masted ship with square sails on the foremast and fore-and-aft sails on the mainmast. It's not the biggest or speediest ship, but is well-balanced. It has a forecastle where the galley is in the front, and the officer's quarters in back, and two levels underneath with the crew's quarters, storage hold, and the brig, as well as a few other things.
Eternity was custom-built for this pirate crew, rather than being a commandeered vessel as pirate ships generally were, but I imagine they raised the money for it's construction by selling their spoils from attacking ships. Simply because I'm planning to tell the tale of them on a treasure hunt doesn't mean I'm fooling myself about their lifestyle.
The figurehead is a leaping antelope. I decided to go with that rather than the traditional woman as the figurehead is meant to be the soul of the ship, so I wanted something that represented the crew a bit more.
There are also carvings on the front and back of the officer's quarters featuring a hawk in the center and an ibis and a kingfisher to either side.
The hawk is something of a symbol for the pirates, as their pirate flag (which got cut off in scanning and is very small here anyway) has a black background with a skull in the center, wings to either side and talons from the bottom.
Beyond that the ship is fairly simple, with little decoration.

And that's it! I've started work on the story proper, and should be posting some chapters soon! Stay tuned!

(man, I need to stop posting scraps, their numbers catching up fast on my actual deviations! )
