Ponies create balloons and airships, so you are on firm ground there, Artist, despite your caption.
The landing structures are largely minimalist, but the aircraft are dimensionally rendered and reasonably thought out (though there should be more ropes connecting the basket to the balloon). Points for concept, visualization, and hand-drawn rendition.
This will likely go in my upper-tier; thanks for creating it.

One of the more interesting things about FiM's worldbuilding is how casually anachronistic the technology is. Sometimes we get tech like airships that seems like something out of Jules Verne, or a Karel Zeman film. Feels like someone in 1900 imagining what air travel would be like in 2000, as depicted by someone living in the year 2020.
This is cute. There's a thought of "bringing the past with you to the future" going on that I really dig; not least of all because so much of the things I valued as a kid ended up horribly destroyed. Unless I'm interpreting the color coding wrong and that old balloon wasn't used as the sailing for the airship, in which case still props for making me think of sad personal things.
Oh shoot I forgot to actually get to this, so sorry about that!

Thanks for the comment! And yeah, I wanted the landing structures to be very minimalistic and 'industrial.' I actually based this off of a city I'm developing in my head, and this is a rendition of what I call "The Eastern Docks." Fun fact, I actually wanted to add more of the structures in the background, but then ran out of time.

That's so true. Just today, actually, I was reminded that in the Mare Do Well episode we see a hydro-electric dam. Like, wow.

Thank you :). I was not going for that with the colors at all, I just wanted it to be unified because the rest of it is colorless. But hey, that's pretty dang cool - I like it.
