I have finally completed the first stage of my Dome Ship model! Next step - All the little details ships need but weren't shown in the official art, like windows, maneuvering thrusters, greebles, airlocks, etc. Final stage will be detailing the dome interior, since trees use a bajillion polygons and I don't know how I'm gonna do that.

officially done with recreating part of the moon nexus set from the dragon prince!
it took longer than i hoped because i was too busy + there's only so much you can do with limited references and only like.. 2 photos to base yourself off for the design and measurements lmao
i'm proud of it though!! here are some rendered photos i made <3
modeling software: sketchup
rendering software: vray
+ bonus: as for this one, it was more of something i thought i would like to add to the already finished design. i figured that with all the moon magic things they had going on in the nexus they would have some sort of light for the temples, so i added it to the little moon arcanum symbols at the top of each one
if you'd like to see my process (struggles) here is the post where everything started

woah im here again
wait . as i write that i realize this Isnt the first ive been back to sketchup . wait i should post my other shenanigans ghdfjk anyways~
these are hair pins to 3d print ! my hair is too short for bun pins but too strong for bobby pins so i made these to stab two in the bottom and one in the top to keep a hairnet around it. and also theyre pretty bc of course
ive never 3d printed before so hopefully something flat should be easy to figure it out. and hopefully the fact that at some point i went from 7/8ths to ~7/8ths doesnt fuck with anything >.<

Rios’s Mystery Furniture
A couple of days ago, I discovered a new piece of furniture in Captain Rios’s quarters!!
As I mentioned in my last post, after I finished taking screenshots of every La Sirena scene in season 2, I decided it was time to go through season 1 again and retake all my screenshots. I have much higher-quality videos now and can go frame by frame rather than relying on my pause-button reflexes on Amazon Prime.
So, I started with S1E3, “The End is the Beginning”, and I noticed something I had never noticed before: THERE IS A CLOSET OR WARDROBE IN THE CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS!!!!
It never shows up properly on screen, but when going frame by frame, I discovered this:
See that structure at the very left edge of the image? That is the typical frame of a piece of La Sirena’s furniture!
Now, from the furniture reference we got to see on the blu-ray extras, we know that the production department planned to build several styles of full-length wardrobe:
(Ignore the measurements on this, please, they are Very Wrong 😅).
It’s impossible to tell from this scene how broad this particular piece of furniture is. It could be the Large Armoire (No. 4, bottom left), or the Compact Armoire (No. 6, bottom right).
For a moment I considered whether it could be the same closet Raffi has in her quarters, but that one is a shorter closet section on top of a set of drawers.
It’s not 100% certain from the image above, but in context, it looks like the frame of the wardrobe in Rios’s quarters goes all the way to the floor. (Once again, the image for context:
This would speak to a full-length "armoire”.
Since this still didn’t tell me much about the size of the wardrobe, I took context into account. In season 2, we see a slightly modified version of the large armoire in the quarters-turned-squad-bunks. The doors have been replaced (and become a lot hole-ier), but it’s definitely the same style of furniture.
This made me wonder if the production people built it from scratch or reused and modified an existing piece of furniture. If it was the latter, that might be a clue that the wardrobe in Rios’s quarters was indeed the full-width “Large Armoire”.
However, when looking for any other hint of this piece of furniture, this frame caught my eye:
Again, at the very far left, there is a hint of some piece of furniture there. It is extremely warped because it’s so close to the camera lense, so it’s difficult to tell what exactly is going on. But there can be no doubt that the piece of furniture is divided horizontally.
This doesn’t look like a full-length closet, it looks much more like it’s actually the two-part “bar unit” that Raffi has in her quarters, i.e. a set of drawers and a closet on top.
Now, if that were the case, what might be going on here is that Rios does, in fact, have two different pieces of furniture right next to each other. Something like this:
You can soooooort of see it when you hold the screenshot next to my model of the furniture.
It’s not super clear, but I’m going to stick with this interpretation for now.
I think it’s time to update my floor plan of the captain’s quarters! With this new information added, it probably should look something like this:
WE HAVE NEW FURNITURE!!! :D
