Description This is one of my commissions it is for Ixal, I finished it last month but never got around to posting it til now.

For anyone familiar with Naomi Novik's "Temeraire" Series, this was the scene from the first book when little Temeraire got all tangled up in a hammock on the ship he hatched on. Sorry the BG sucks, I don't know what the interior of old tall ship sleeping quarters look like. This is coloured pencil, marker and acrylic paint.


EDIT: Wow I am surprised this drawing is getting so much attention! Thank you everyone who has faved and commented on this! Greatly appreciated!

I remember this scene, though Temeraire was too young to has a ruff.

I know, someone else mentioned that a couple years ago, and I drew it a while after I read the book so I had forgotten he had no ruff then. I can't fix it unless I redraw it. :/

It has some things I like, but also a lot I like less. It's pretty well organized social if you ask me and the seasons are good too, but it's oh so boring -.- I'm a nature lover and the biggest thing you can find if you're really lucky are foxens, wild boars and some deer.. I've been to Amarica and Canada and watch a lot of nature programmes and notthing can tip to those I guess XD
It's a good book but I like the Temeraire series more^^ I just really like the idea it's really written through the eyes of a hatchling who grows up and has to survive in a world full of dangers like elves, dwarves, people, other dragons etc. plus, finding a mate is very hard since dragosn became more rare.

I do love how much nature Canada has, I live in Halifax Nova Scotia, it is small for a city but it still has enough trees and lakes and it is by the ocean and sometimes I see many different kinds of birds, seals, and I saw a pair of porpoises once here and we have lots of deer and raccoons and porcupines all over the place lol, occasionally foxes and coyotes are seen around here.

I lived in Calgary in Alberta for a year and that is a large city and they had foxes and coyotes running around there, it was really neat. Once I almost walked right into a coyote in that city. It just stepped out from nowhere, paused like 3 feet from me. It was a really neat encounter and it showed no hostility or anything, just curiosity.
