So, this looks weird. Why does it look weird? Because it’s inspired by superior and fata morgana mirages that are thought to be the origins of the myth of the Flying Dutchman. The Flying Dutchman is a mythical ghost ship that’s said to look battered and ghastly and cursed to never make port. If you make contact with her, the undead crew will ask you to take their letters (that are all addressed to people who died a long time ago) and take them to shore that they send over in a barrel - and you may or may not get caught in a storm. It’s believed that sightings of superior and especially fata morgana mirages (a fata morgana being a more complex superior mirage) were thought to be this ghost ship as they can look quite distorted and ghastly. So here’s my attempt at recreating that. It’s just a WIP but she’s looking quite messed up already if I do say so myself.
