Oh Iskierka, right out of the shell you fiery dear! I love the Tem/Iskierka relationship, its like part father/daughter part teacher/student and part...flirtacious/coy/embaressed lust/love/mutual affection. Its so interesting and I really hope that the two of them have an egg! I think Temeraire really does care about her and vis versa, under all of the annoyance and face palms! Anyways...this drawing is so cute. It is simple and yet really detailed facial expressions! You capture their personalities really well! Great Job!

Thanks a lot! If I redo this, Temeraire will most likely be rolling his eyes.

Oh, you should see the early sketches I had of them - absolutely terrible - I couldn't get them down right the way I wanted them to for the longest time. My biggest problem was that the bulky-dragon look didn't seem to work on them, at least the way I was drawing them. So I used more snake and lizard references as opposed to the standard dragon ones I was using.

Just finished reading 'Empire of Ivory', and the one Isk line at the beginning brought me to mind of this picture "Well...you didn't say it had to be a French boat."

She gets much worse in the later books. Seriously, she was one of the biggest sources of facepalms I got.

I know exactly what you mean. I feel sorry for Granby. But I feel sorrier for whomever is stupid enough to try and attack Granby, for he has one of the most protective dragons in the fleet.
It's so adorable how dragons become such mother hens towards their aviators.

I know! So childish in some ways, and with such personality! And even if Volly is a little slow, there isn't another like him.

i agree their should be much more Temeraire fan art.
i think books have less fan art because their aren't any pictures to go by, either that or its just that less people read books than watch movies.
probably both.

But that makes artists' renditions of the characters so unique! *hugs Lawrence* It's like my mental image of Lawrence having a short beard. Most people draw him without one.

HA! Made me laugh. Such a simple drawing, but the expressions are so... Expressive. Iskierka is such a brat, but looks so cute. And Temeraire looks long-suffering.

He's probably rolling his eyes all the time at her, thinking, "I bet I was never that way." But Will might argue against that particular claim. ^_^

Iskierka is so awesome...crazy little Khazilik, she has such a great fighting spirit, and in EoI she is even cuter

AAH! Don't tell me, don't tell me! I'm hoping to get it for Christmas, so I haven't read it yet!
But yeah, if Temeraire is her "mentor," she's probably gonna go ballistic on Napoleon's (and also Lien's) arse.

awww...i got it at this year's comic con, two month's before its release! at the publisher's booth i was asking about the book and then the lady who i was talking to brought be around and handed me Empire of Ivory and in yellow bold said, "advance reader's editoin, not for sale"
i practically was frozen at it, then i said "could i hugged you" and i hugged her and her cohort said "you made some1's day" indeed. i finished it a month before the official release. i wont spoil it to you, (i want to though) but lets just say its another win for Mrs. Novik
hehe, yeah, for some odd reason i like to think she looks up to Tem as a father figure, even though Tem knew her parents

Yeah, I can already feel the big-brother/father syndrome coming off the poor dear in waves. Not two minutes outta her shell and she's driving him up the wall. He's going to have his claws full. And poor, dear Granby. She's a regular terror, all right.

i always like to picture that, how she sees Tem as that kind of figure
well when you do get EoI, ill give you this little spoiler, she grows up when they come back from africa and she really changed she's now more battle hardened and mature and so is Granby

I agree about both your statements. I love the look on Iskierka's face!

I'm pretty sure that I could draw her better, though. It was fun to do the excited expression on her face.
