Your art is very awesome!
I like this U-boat. Since it's a, atomic u-boat, this one must be bigger than conventional ones, Isn't it?

Only slightly. Here's the actual U-boat with its crew for scale reference:

If I squint, I can see Jurgen Prochnow scratching his beard thoughtfully on the conning tower.

i think i read a neil stephenson book once that had a bit about an atomic U-boat. Crazy stuff.Β Β

Oh jeez, that sounds wild. The design of the U-Boat in this scene was inspired by something probably equally as weird, it's based on this 1949 concept for a "jet sub" that fires underwater rockets.Β i.imgur.com/5c9J7Va.png

so much detail, yet it looks so simplistic.
I am in awe.

I get their flaws from a modern standpoint, but I love the visual design of old time submarines. A lot more variation.

I agree. You just can't beat the look of the classic U-Boat.

Hard to get a properly unique design with modern submarines.

Actually... the U-Boat design continues on thanks to the Type XXI U-Boat -aka the 'E-Boat'- which is basically the first submarine in human history. Every other submarine on the planet is built upon the Type XXI's foundation.

Actually, fun fact: the Type XXI U-Boat -aka the 'Elektroboot' or 'Electric Boat'Β is the precursor to all modern submarines in terms of design. It would have been a nightmare for Allied ASW efforts if it was developed earlier.

Somewhat inspired by the Type 21, but it is an original design.
