Last Exile

Modeled, printed, and painted by me.

I still love this show, warts and all. I had it on in the background while working on stuff this last week, and it got me inspired to make a model of the titular ship, the Exile.

It should also have a pair of massive energy wings sprouting from the top, but it turned out the pegs in my model were too puny to hold them. I'll have to go back and fix them at some point, but this was just for fun, so it's not very high priority.

Last exile is such a old gem. I saw it back then as a child but only the first episode but this anime stuck in my mind till today and I treat myself with the whole Serie 👁️👄👁️ This is my oc for Last exile: Aria Duncan a mechanic. She served under Laady Sophia and was transferred to the Silvana as an escort for her. She owes her scar to her curiosity and ignorance while tinkering with the vanship back then in her teen. (a explosion was the result of her work.)

A Morning in Norkia

Another show I’m a big fan of is Last Exile, the steampunk adventure by Studio Gonzo. It explains nearly *nothing* to the audience, making half the fun of watching it come from trying to figure it out. I still don’t understand it fully, and I love that.

Anyway, I Forged a few ships from it while I was making the Yukikaze.

The two main characters pilot this small courier craft, called a “vanship”. I made a flyable version...

...and a prop version that has seats you can actually sit in. Flying it around with no one in the cockpit does look pretty weird, after all. 

I also made a couple battleships. Unfortunately, neither is to scale with the vanship (which is itself out of scale with players), so I prefer to think of all this as just regular old art. Not much chance of these being used in a map; they take up *enormous* amounts of budget. 

I tried my hand at recreating a shot from the show’s opening. Sadly, these ships alone consume ~90% of the object budget, so I can’t be 100% faithful to the source and fill the sky with more of them.

I tried to script a bunch of explosion FXs to make it look like the two ships were duking it out, but for whatever reason, they refused to obey the timing I gave them. Instead of being staggered, they would all fire at once--which isn’t exactly the effect I was going for. Oh well.

空の彼方にあるものは? 「迷い子を母の手に導くもの - エグザイル。」

大地を金色に染める波～ 「命を育む恵の息吹 - 麦の大地。」

天使の降りる道～ 「そは大いなる風の道 - グランドストリーム。」

記憶の彼方にあるものは～ 「全てが生まれ全てが帰る場所 - 青い星。」

What lies beyond the furthest reaches of the sky? 「That which will guide the lost child back to her mother's arms. Exile.」

The waves that flow and dye the land gold. 「The blessed breath which nurtures life. A land of wheat.」

The path the angels descend upon. 「The path of great winds. The Grand Stream.」

What lies in the furthest depths of one's memory? 「The place where all are born and where all will return. A blue star.」
