Summary
The Funslinger Whissile (GUOS65150) is an item from the space era of the Gothic Universe of Shapes series. It was created on the 23rd, 24th, 25th, 27th, and 28th May, 31st July, and 5th August 2019 using Faber Castell Watercolour Pencils, Lead Pencils, and Felt Pens, an Artline 204 Faxblac 0.4 Black Pen, Microsoft Paint, Paint 3D, Paint.NET, GIMP, and Microsoft Excel 2010.

It was not created using autoshapes, being drawn and edited outside Microsoft Excel, except for some shadow effects, a glad wrap texture effect, film grain effects, and cement effects. Being completed in Microsoft Excel 2010 meant that I could use tools that were absent in Microsoft Excel 2007, such as applying a glad wrap texture effect, film grain effects, and cement effects.

The Funslinger Whissile is the third shape that I applied a HSV noise texture to using GIMP. This is because for the space era, I decided to look at inspiration for textures within the game Endless Sky, for the space era shapes. And I was tipped off that applying a HSV noise texture effect would give them a more Endless Sky-esque texture.

The Funslinger Whissile is the second shape to directly take inspiration from a ship that I'd known to appear in Endless Sky, as well as the first to directly take inspiration from a ship that I'd known to appear in Endless Sky without mods.

Because of the similar shape between Funslinger Whissiles and Rugby Balls (or an American Football in this case), I used an American Football as inspiration when drawing some of the elements of the Funslinger Whissile.
