I've been thinking lately about perhaps doing some "adversary" ships as well as Grays Harbor ones, and was wondering if anybody might like to collaborate on that? Just a thought I had.

I might be interested.

I was hoping you would be.

I'll be putting together a brief background synopsis and overview tonight when I get home from work and I'll shoot you a copy to see what you think, or if you have any suggestions/ideas.

Fire away. I've just started working 12 hour night shifts though, so drawing is probably going to be slow.

Meh. Speed is not an issue.

Thought I might revisit this one from a while back. My first try at a submarine, so I'm not at all familiar with the ins-n-outs of them. I haven't made any changes as yet to the initial drawing, thought I'd get a couple more opinions on how to proceed to make it look less like a, well. glorified cigar tube?

Your camo pattern on the Quinn Bay Class CVE looks awesome.

And your submarine doesn't look too bad to me. LOL, a lot of early submarines from that period did look like "glorified cigar tubes", so you're design is not too far off the mark. The only thing I might say is most subs had smaller conning towers back then, and 6 bow torpedo tubes might be a little bit too optimistic. Most subs back then had no more than 4 bow tubes, but 6 is not impossible. Other than that, the hull shape and features looks pretty spot on for the period to me.

That cammo pattern should dazzle any sub captain,it sure dazzled me.

Its actually based on the British L Class, Group 3, which had the large con and 6 x 21" bow tubes. Its just that mine looks, well, bare ... to me, and I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want to over-shade it, that would look silly, but just having a single line doesn't quite cut it either. I probably ought add some sort of deck gun, I'm sure of that at least.
