Pirate Ship Build

  • Ahoy everyone,

    My name's Tim and it's been a while since I posted anything on this forum, but I figured this was too good to not share. I work at a shop called Monster City Studios in Fresno, CA and ever since I got hired here, there's been a tan, un-painted pirate ship in the back lot of the studio.

    From what I understand, it was built for a client a while back. Then for whatever reason, the deal fell through, and it's been sitting in the lot for over a year.

    Now I've been following SoT ever since we first saw it a few E3's ago, so imagine my excitement when my boss said we were going to give it some much needed TLC. We began repainting it, and as soon as it's done it'll go back in the lot as a sign/beacon for the studio. This is our progress so far.

    It's pretty close to being done, but as you can see, it doesn't have a name yet. Now, this isn't a guarantee, but I may be able to sway my boss into taking some suggestions from the Sea of Thieves community. So tell me what you think of the ship and drop a few name suggestions. They can be funny, or serious, just keep in mind, we likely won't paint "Boaty McBoatface" or "King Harambe's Revenge" on the back of our ship.

    -Tim

  • AMAZING WORK! and the names you choosed! you make the internet proud.

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe Omigosh and shiver me timberzzzz! That is awesome.

  • Very cool. Especially like the One-Eyed Willy on the back. And there be the name, "Willy's Maiden". So much innuendo (pirate and otherwise) with that.

  • @JediKnightXIII Dude! I keep telling everyone that the skull on the back is one-eyed Willy, but no one knows what I'm talking about. lol.

  • Wow! That is too cool!

  • Woweee Amaaazing!!
    What a fantastic place to work! I am most jealous :D
    Perfect place for eating your lunch!
    A name for your boat?? Floundering Mermaid! hehe

  • Nice place there.
    I mean where you work and how in God's name how did nobody saw that ship!
    Seriously!!!

  • That is awesome! One eyed willys ship was the Inferno! Man I have to watch the goonies now lol

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe
    It's really impressive. Are you wanting a name that is related to set building? Maybe The Final Call or The Epilogue.

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe It's a boring name, but the M.C.S. Voyage (shop initials)

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe

    Awesome work! Makes me wish my wife would let me have some fun with the tax money and build something similar in the back yard.

    "But, honey... The kids could play on it or I could set up a small office in the hold and use it as a tax deduction for my home office..." (See? I've already had this argument with her.)

    One thing I have to wonder, though. In the first pic, is that Lt. Dan's legs sticking out the railing?

  • Wonderful peace of art. Keep up the good work! Truly impressive. Yarr!

  • Glad to see the build isn't going to waste. This is awesome, well done!

  • The ship really do look amazing, :) keep it up, and i hope you guys will find an amazing name for it :D

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe WOW that looks amzing

  • holy... looks awesome

  • **EXCELLENT WORK!!!

    I have one name for you...'The Moist Lady'**

  • AMAZING WORK!

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe It would be mighty impressive to have this at Rare ! I don't want to know the logistics though...

  • Maybe Rare can send someone over to take pictures of this and recreate it in-game as a sort of trophy... perhaps make it the trophy ship to the highest ranked team on leaderboards.

  • Perhaps something to commemorate it's rise from decrepitude.

    "Nossa senhora de Fénix" Our lady of the Phoenix, perhaps?

    Or my favourite name for any vessel "Mayhem".

  • @RmDirSlashF I say do it. It'll look fab just loitering near that pond you've got.

  • THAT LOOKS AMAZING!

    Haha, yeah shipping overseas could prove to be a logistical nightmare. That said, it is built on an actual boat, so getting it to you guys could be just one adventure away...

  • +1000 bud thats awesome. Good for you

  • monster of the deep

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe that's a very impressive piece of work you're certainly a talented man.

  • I name thee The Serpent.

    Possibly.
    The one-eyed Serpent

    Posiedens Daughter

    The Humdinger

    Not really awe inspiring I know 😊

    Thanks, but I'm just the social media guy at the studio, so most of the work was done by my coworkers. They're the true Shipwrights.

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe Also, here's an updated look at the whole thing. We've got a few projects for actual clients going on, so it's kind of on the back-burner, but hopefully in the next week or so, we'll get it outside. I'm not sure what the plan is in terms of a mast and sails. I guess we'll wait and see.

  • People actually do this for a living, how epic is that haha, nice back burner project, how about,
    The Soul Carrier

  • @Thugzz-Deluxxxe
    the ship is so heavy it burst the tires.
    "the rubber crusher"

  • How about "The Black Condor" named after the native bird of California?

    And you just know if you were to use that in the game, and someone saw your colours coming over the horizon they'd be like:

    .... it's the Condor.... RUN!!!

  • does she float? It looks amazing. Good Work!
