Description
This is more fanart for the Temeraire books. Temeraire (the black one) is being revolted by Iskierka, who is telling him that she wants an egg from him. I'm trying to make her look snakey and spiky, while I wanted Temeraire to have a Chinese dragon look going on around his head. You know, beard and all that.Iskierka intrigues me. The spikes on her back shoot out steam when she's excited, and she's a firebreather (no duh). I hope the next few books tell us a little more about how she works.
By the way, you can now read the first Temeraire book online for free! The whole thing! [link]

1. Yup, if you read the victory of eagles book correctly...
2. Fail? Every artist draws their art as they wish. Maybe that's his impression of what Chinese dragons look like.
3. We can't all understand Russian, so I don't know what you mean with naive.

I don't know, this was fanart for Tongues of Serpents when Tongues of Serpents had barely even been announced. The joke occurs at the very end of Victory of Eagles.

tongues of serpents? is that the 6th book

Eeeek! I can't wait for the next book, I'm ridiculously excited! Anyway, love this picture. Best Temeraire fanart on DA, imo! They look perfect... though I can't quite comprehend where Iskierka's crew fits on her. It must be like being in a sauna bath or something...

I was wondering if something like that is also available for book two?
Great artwork!

Yep, and I'm eagerly awaiting Tongues of Serpents.

?!?!? I thought that Victory of Eagles was the final book!

Nope, the next one is Tongues of Serpents, and deals with all kinds of fun stuff going on in Australia. New South Wales, as it used to be called. It's gonna have that one captain from Mutiny on the Bounty in it, even!

Iskierka sure thinks she's being sultry...
Impressive work on all scale coloring! That must have taken quite a while.

I have always adored this picture, Iskierka looks so challenging and seductive, LOL.

My first thought when I saw this, was actually that Iskiera was bragging (again), and Temeraire countered with "Well, at least I have a nice necklace!" 
... What are they doing in Australia?

That's where the next book is taking place.

Very cool. I'm seeing you use some of those unblended strokes you've been talking about. Very nicely done.

*gasp* finally, the finished version! XD I am extremely happy to see this! Well, first of all...it's dragons! ^^ (duh.) and second it's totally made of epic win.
The colouring is extremely well done. And I _love_ how you made them look like they actually have scales. Kudos to that. ^^
The background is simply stunningly beautiful. The soft purpleish blueish clouds are a noice touch, as well. They seem to give off a sense of tranquility.
Lovelylovely work. XD

It turned out looking really nice! That wing is just gorgeous. Love the color choices for the red dragon, too, she looks great.

This came out nicely.
Now that it's coloured, Temeraire's left wing (on our right) forms a side of the 'composition triangle' -- Now that I look at it, that was present in the original sketch, just not as heavily emphasised.
Iskierka is rather interesting -- I have a mental image of her flying around sounding like a steam train.
