Description
I remember walking into my local bookstore a few years back and randomly picking up Temeraire and thinking I'd give it a go. Turns out that these books are totally awesome!I found out about the Temeraire art Contest a day before it was due to close, so I threw everything to the side and painted this...nearly killed me
For the limited time I had i'm pleased with how it turned out. Might have to go back and do another Temeraire piece at some point and maybe give myself a little more time to do it!

This is wonderfully EPIC! True fantasy action, the colors, the waves, the fire! One of my favorite Temeraire art for sure!

The sonic waves are a nniouch with Temeraire.
Though I can't tell if that's Iskierka who's flambΓ©ing those poor bastards at sea.

Nice. The dragon on the right is Iskierka, or some other Kazilik, and I'm guessing that the dragon on the left is Temeraire, although he looks nothing like that in the story, but hey, it's really nice. Keep up the good work.

I agree about the books being awesome! A friend has loaned me the first three in the series, and I am just now starting on "Black Powder War." Novik is nothing short of amazing, and I am glad to see such incredible fan art! I found your art through her website.

Yay, the TΓ©mΓ©raire books are totally awesome, no questions about it. Your art is about just as good though. I think it's the best TΓ©mΓ©raire pic I've seen yet (wasn't even looking for one here, just kind of stumbled over this).
The only thing is, TΓ©mΓ©raire looks kinda purple instead of black, but maybe that's just a trick of the light.
You should totally do more TΓ©mΓ©raire pics.

I really like this! Its great to see fan art with both Temeraire and Iskierka in it. And you mentioned in one comment that Iskierka looks like a stylized Chinese dragon? The Kazalik dragons are described as very long, sinewy dragons, so, in my opinion, she looks great!
The only things that I find odd are: 1. both dragon's crews are missing, and 2. the antler-like horns you gave Temeraire. He is never described as having horns, but as his ruff going all the way around his head, including where his horns are in your painting.
Overall, I really like it!

Gorgeous! The coloring especially - the details of the froth on the waves, the way the light is absorbed through the thinner membrane of the wings, the smoke...I could go on and on! Really beautifully done for such a slap-and-dash

I just, two weeks ago, read the first book and you're right, they ARE awesome. Not since I read LOTR have I thoroughly enjoyed a series. I am now on the second book and completely hooked.
More fanart, please!

Thank you! Yeah I don't usually paint quite that fast, left me feeling knackered for the rest of the week

Very nice! I love how you've portrayed Iskierka. I know she's missing her wings, but she looks like how she's described in the books: with spikes and coils.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! I must admit, when I painted this it'd been a while since I'd read Temeraire and like you say, the description of 'spikes and coils' is what stuck in my mind which is why I think I didn't even question the lack of wings at first
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow....breathtakingly beautiful.
I love the pose for Temerarie,you draw the wings better than i~ = )
I love it~
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much! I thought having the light bleed through his wings would make for a more dramatic scene
π: 0 β©: 1
It does~
Though...i was wondering on the right wing(Tmerarie's right) how it's supposed to be curved?It looks like the other one,save for the foreshortened curve in the upper left(Our left,xDD)
...or am i seeing things?XD
