Precipitation - The Stratoreservoir

Stratoreservoir is the core story element in Precipitation. It is a class of airships that collects and stores rainwater, coordinated by Department of Precipitation Control.

This process is called the Water Extraction Process, or WEP for short.

When not in WEP, Stratoreservoir can un-deploy itself and maneuver to new task location.

The on-board buildings contain two kinds of structures: vertical zones and horizontal zones. They will be used separately during or outside of WEP

Research on function break downs; I took heavy inspiration from the FLIP ship in terms of functionality :)

I tried sketching in both 2D and 3D. 2D gives me more control over details and the structures; where as 3D has more emphasize on forms

I disassembled and reassembled 1:1 sea vessels and oil rig models to prepare the kibash parts, similar to how actual film sets were built, but with much bigger scale. Now with the power of 3D we can disassemble and reassemble almost anything we want :)
