Kirin AKA Qilin AKA Flaming Scaly Deer-Horse
Page One, panel two
"Such wondrous beasts"
Kirin AKA Qilin AKA Scaly Deer-Horse
(Prehistoric Giraffe, Rhino Hide, Catfish Tendrils, Flaming Yet Alive)
(in a tank?)
The Kirin or Qilin represents the imminent arrival or passing of a Sage or Illustrious Ruler. A good omen, usually thought to occasion Prosperity and Serenity, it is usually depicted with "fire" running across its "scaly" body, and shown as flaming, leaping, winged, or somehow capable of flight. Indeed the One Who Saves Us From the Monster will often ride off on the wondrous and legendary Kirin.
Pixiu AKA Giant Bear-Dog-Cat
Page One, panel 3
"Of ancient days..."
Pixiu AKA Bear Dogs of the Cat Gap
Pixiu is an auspicious guardian of Wealth, said to crave the scent of gold and silver. A fierce-looking beast with whitish-gray fur, the Pixiu is said to bring riches in its mouth to lay at the feet of its master. Dangerous as a bear, loyal as a dog, and quick as a cat, this creature projects a sense of strength, elegance and mobility. The large fangs are said to drain the essence of evil and misfortune and convert it to Good Fortune, Wealth and Luck.

Bixie AKA Liger With Wings of Giant Prehistoric Vulture
Page One, panel 4
"And fabled lore..."

The Sphinx, The Griffin, the Flying Lion, a Chimera of Secret and Sacred Meaning. Knowledge, Piety, Will, Intent, Power, the Godhead Within.

Another Scene With Another Queen!!!
Need to add a scene with the Ant-Queen, Mobile Avatar of the Hive-Mind of the Moonfolk, and one of her agents, possibly Inspector Yi in a steampunk spacesuit, and maybe also the Dark Stranger, discussing Nemo and Robur's inventions, and the possibility that they may soon complete the "metallic dirigibles" or Tsiolkovsky Spheres, and thus have discovered not only submersibles and aeronautics, but space flight as well. If they were to reach the Moon and discover the Selene City Gate, the "hopping" technology of Distance Annihilation, or the Time-Negating function of Gates, they could save the Bahramians and Zuhurans, or wipe them out, and also rival the Moonfolk and the Strangers themselves, and their respective monopolies on teleporting and space travel.
Try to squeeze in some mention of the Ghost Angels (Martians), the Naked Serpents (Native Venusians) and the rest of the "aliens" of the Solar System of Telluria.
This would be PAGES 6 & 7 OF THE PREVIEW.

Building A Sky-Pirate Amazon Kitesail Airship
This is how I do it in my mind.
"Deck": group of flying carpets, joined by a network of rigging, to make a trampoline.
Above and below this are curved, slanted masts of something flexible, bamboo or willow.
These point toward the stern, like porcupine quills.
These slanted, curved, flexible masts have fore-and-aft rigged "lateen" sails.
These sails are triangular, and look Indian or Arabian.
These are both above and below the magic carpet-slash-trampoline "deck" of the ship.
In addition, the airship has "rigid" masts that are perpendicular to the deck.
Like a postcard laying flat, with pencils stuck through it, and porcupine quills.
The "rigid" perpendicular masts are covered with flat airfoils, instead of sails.
These airfoil "sails" are like paper airplanes stacked on a dowel, all shapes.
Often they are simply rectangular, but they can be boxes or triangles or whatever.
Like a 19th century seven-winged glider, crossed with an Arabian pirate ship.
With a trampoline made of flying carpets and rigging for a "deck".
With two semi-rigid tents, fore and aft, as quarters or "cabins" for crew and captain.
Above and below the deck, in the rigging, there are hammocks and ropewalks.
Sloop
Ketch
Galley
Caravel
Carrack
