Fantastic new additions! I'll hold off on any requests for now, but I'm eagerly awaiting this week's interview for the coincidence of the lead artist sharing a pen name with the ship.

I like what I'm seeing

Hope it's Fusou (presumably will be in at launch, but as of yet unannounced) in honor of the huge mast.

You're thinking about this all wrong. If someone else likes the same ship as you do they have good taste! Cheers!

War, war never changes... then there were ship girls! I guess it sort of changed then? No? Oh well.

Very nice.

I think I'd just wear a welding mask and take it like a champ.

Challenge accepted! (I'm so dead!)

I would not be surprised to learn that there is a loop-hole in that 10 m rule... say if the belle had an artifact of significance from her ship with them so they haven't "left" the 10 m bubble

Old ships have character!

Cute... Nice "torpedo bulges"

I'm sure that didn't hurt, though i'm not certain if that is the source.

A new Kongo joins the fray! Nod to the one that introduced me to this wonderful world...

While I was happy for no extra competition, I was surprised to see no votes for Kongo this week. Looking forward to that tea party when we get around to it though!

As in the "Belle of the Ball" idiom: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/be-the-belle-of-the-ball

She cleans up nice! Good work.

I agree with everything that's been said about it. Good job Jojo, careful on the bust creep XD

Well this is the internet, no one is safe from those memes!

Every artist tends to hate their own work in my experience, at least if they are given the chance to stare at it long enough. I'd say you've done good work and keep on doing what you do.

I hardly use Paypal, but I can see the record of my pledge and the backer number on the kickstarter. I'm sure things will work out just fine though!

Speaking of the start of beta, how is that rollout going to work? Should we keep an eye on our email for more info?

My how time flies!

That's amazing! I'd have a hard time seeing Mahan smitten like Rem though

I decided to take a stab at sketching that. What I tried to do was probably a bit too ambitious for my level of skill, but I wanted to have the scene on the deck of the actual ship Mahan. This lead to fun problems with scale, but I hope what I was going for is clear at least. I spent a while in World of Warships port looking at the ship and ended up setting the scene at the turret 2nd from the front. http://imgur.com/a/SQQMK

Now I've got a mental image of bringing Mahan coffee and roses. She puts up with so much on our behalf that she deserves it
