The iron citadel by EB67 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I drew space warship the Yamato from Japanese tv series Space Battleship Yamato(a.k.a. Argo from Star Blazers) for commemoration of its 50th anniversary.

For this illustration, I was inspired by the city empire's decisive battle scene from the original film "Farewell". While the details were referenced from the remake version, I also added elements from both the Yamato Resurrection and live-action adaptations into the ship's overall design.

To depict the damaged areas; armor plates peeling off and heavily dented sections on the hull, I searched photos of retired submarines and cargo ships involved in collision accidents and used them as reference.
