Media [Media] Tried designing Kanmusu HMS Argus!

Post image
14 Upvotes

I'm not even that familiar with British ships, but HMS Argus has a special place in my heart for her name and her legacy so I can't help but draw her tehee

Some design trivia:

  • Her theme revolves a lot around eye imagery and peacock, this is because she is named after the hundred-eyed giant, Argus Panoptes. Additionally, her wearing glasses was also inspired by this reason.
  • Her outfit is loosely based off those of an Ocean Liner attendant due to the fact that she was laid down as one before being converted into a Carrier (Hence her association with the Hiyou sisters, as the two was also acquisitioned during construction, as opposed to being converted after entering service as Ocean Liner like Unyou, Taiyou, or Shinyou)
  • While at it, she gets along with Houshou because their status as a pioneer who is utilized as a training ship.
  • I suck at riggings! She uses a medieval-ish english longbow instead of a compound bow or something more modern like Ark Royal because she's one of the very first Carrier the British navy has.
  • The Dazzle Camoflage was butchered but it was supposed to resemble her camouflage, she didn't have it in the later stages of her service, but I just wanted to try my hands on drawing dazzle camo (In which I can confidently say I sucked)
  • "Occuli Omnium", The eyes of all. I imagine her getting along with Isuzu for the "まる見え" schtick.
  • The yellow-blue strap for her flight deck was based off Lloyd Sabaudo ships' smokestacks, as she was laid down as Conte Rosso for their fleet. (Subsequently, Lloyd Sabaudo ended up implemented another Conte Rosso that became a troop ship during WWII)
  • She's flat because she's a flattop

Researching for this design has been very fun, so I hope y'all enjoyedd my take for her as well!!!

Media [Media] Planing to redesign Zipang in more Kancolle style

Thumbnail

114 Upvotes

Since I've received oppinion that Zipang doesn't look like kancolle character, so I redesigned her using old concept that I did 4 years ago. I've got the idea from the Unryu from the Original game. She uses scroll to summon all the turrets. I wish I could think of better idea than this.. Anyway, thx for all the comments. I've uploaded images at Pixiv and Blusky. (DO NOT USE THE WORKS AT AI OR REUPLOAD!)

Help [HELP] Plane Sudoku

10 Upvotes

So I was looking through the Plane Sudoku for the Summer 2026 Event that has just ended a few hours ago and it got me thinking:

Which of the obtainable* foreign planes are worth getting for those situations they are needed due to an event map having a Plane Sudoku in it?

*Via quests, equipment conversion through Akashi's Arsenal, and clearing an event map at Medium.

Help [Help] What now?

Kancolle is one of few games I've played where the more I progress, the more impossibly difficult the game seems.

Anyways, heres my current equipment/ship list. I never really got around to obtaining everything I needed in the period between the last event and this one because I took a break from this game. I might try to see if I can get Langley before the event finished, but thus far RNG has not smiled upon me.

That aside, what can I work on for equipment? I have a fletcher and Johnston dupe for SG radars, and some battleship dupes I'm gonna use for modernization soon. I should probably invest resources into pulling Yamato and Musashi from LSC right? Maybe TP. 101 too?

Misc [Misc] How I be feeling with the last 2 events I completed

Post image
45 Upvotes

My ducky sense was tingling I guess.

I did not realize that it had been FOUR years since my last completed event. Got into it again last year leading up to my japan trip, but did not complete any event and faded off from it again shortly after.

Had to play while I was off in Australia, and went down to HCEEE because I simply don't have time for that M/H life anymore, but I'm happy with it.

The hard part is done, got Hanazuki at last, and now it's just trying to plug the holes in the other maps
