I was perusing DeviantArt and came across some interesting airship art. One artist in particular, The-Necromancer, has an entire gallery (7 pages worth) of airship art. Some I like, some I don't. Some are realistic, some artsy, and some I do not like. Despite the Communist iconography of the artist's avatar and a few of his other galleries, I found some of the airship art quite compelling. Its worth taking a look if you're into airships.
Another artist, JanBoruta, has a Steampunk gallery with number of pencil sketches of airships, aircraft, steam-powered armored vehicles, etc.
A third, donaguirre, has a number of fascinating airship drawings, but they're not particularly organized. There's just a ten page unorganized gallery of all of his art. My favorite may will be his movie poster for the classic movie version of Lazarus Long's Airship Troopers, staring Roald Regan. :)
This blog covers my adventures in reading, writing, procedural content generation, and whatever else comes to mind.

Some Interesting Websites
I've been doing a bit of research for the Ruritania story, and stumbled across a few interesting web sites over the past few days.
1. The US Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) compiled a series of recognition handbooks depicting ships, submarines, and aircraft from WWI and WWII. A number are available online from the Historic National Ships Association. http://www.hnsa.org/resources/manuals-documents/single-topic/recognition-handbooks/
2. In Britain, the Airship Heritage Trust is a group promoting education and preservation regarding airships. I came across their website years ago, but revisited it just recently. They've got some neat pictures and plans of a lot of different airships from several nations. http://www.airshipsonline.com/index.htm
3. The Airships.net web site is devoted to, as the title on their page says, "The Graf Zeppelin, Hindenburg, U.S. Navy Airships, and other Dirigibles." More neat stuff. http://www.airships.net/
4. I also encountered a blog post at the Dieselpunks website about the British R100, complete with a few photos, one of which was new to me. http://www.dieselpunks.org/profiles/blogs/the-capitalist-airship-r100
