Shipbucket

Very, very nice to scroll slowly down and see all these amazing drawn vessels. Awesome job

Any ETA to the British side maybe?

You should ask the people who usually draw British ships.

This is wonderful. I have read about Jutland, and have seen the lists of the ships
that fought there, but I have never seen even a photo of every ship on either side.
This is a great piece of artwork, and a great research tool. Many thanks.
BTW, I never knew that painting the after funnel red was a national recognition
device for the Germans. I assumed that some of their ships had other funnels
marked, like the British, to denote units within the fleet. None of the books mention
any markings. Thanks again.

Though I'm a bit late:

Excellent work of all the artists involved!

Now I can finally enjoy the entire I. Aufklärungsgruppe on shipbucket

Thought I might share my pet project; wanted to make a poster and a T-shirt design based on below summary table (rough, dirty and amateur kitbash of mine based on all of these magnificent drawings on SB, so I owe you absolute credit on it!). Edit: this is much reduced size, original is shipbucket original size.

That is nice but I must point out that credits must ALWAYS be preserved on any derivative of Shipbucket art. In this case it would likely be sufficient to place a size 10 Arial author credit under each ship's name, and also to add a "www.shipbucket.com" link somewhere on the poster (preferably bottom right). One scale bar at the top left would be required too.

I would think twice before offering any t-shirt or poster for sale based on any of our work... the licensing required is a bit tricky and anyway there's no way for every artist to be compensated easily. So I would avoid it if possible. If the goal is to just produce some cool content for people on the board that gets crowdfunded by all of us, then sure - but I would shy away from offering anything based on this for sale on CafePress, for instance.

Hi Colo,

well I should have added that this is strictly for personal use, just wanted to share in case anybody is working on something similar for ideas; in no way do I intend to make money on this !

As for credits I think I'd better remove the drawing then as giving all credits would overcrowd this waaay too much - so it is your call pls.

Cheers,

PS - you mentioned some Alaska class stuff in PM some time ago

Returning to the praise of this thread, truly stupendous!

Ah, thanks for the reminder... I keep forgetting and have been really busy.

Anyway if it's for personal use then I see no issues at all (maybe even let us know about posters and t-shirts for the board members ). Re: credits, surely it wouldn't be hard to place a small text line under each drawing name?
