Description Fanarttime!
Iskierka, a kazilik dragon from my most favourite bookseries, His Majesties Dragons, or the Temeraire books.
ANd I hate Iskierka. She is by far the most annoying character in the series.
But the describtion of her race sounds very interesting, long snakelike bodys, smoking thorns all over her body (where is her crew sitting?) and green leopard spots with black outlines.

I wanted to do Kulingle next, but I can't find the 6 book at teh moment, so maybe Temeraire or Lily.

Oh, Iskierka... I'm in a love-hate relationship with that creature. She looks really great, you're one of the few to include the serpentine body- thing and the colouring is spectacular

I love Temeraire I am a bit behind on the story cant get my hands on the newest book. i think Iskierka is a spoiled brat of a dragon but i enjoy reading the parts with her in. It is a shame they didn't get the other Turkish eggs. I would like to see you next Temeraire dragon drawings

Thanks .
To be a spoiled brat, Granby would have had to spoil her after she hatched but she came out of the egg like this. I think her egg got shaken too much during their journey.
As far as I remember, they got one extra turkish egg, which didn't hatch on the way and guess it's not that important anymore for the story.

it may become important and you forget dragons learn in the egg and although i haven't red that book in a while, i am shore there was some special care given to the egg

I think Iskierka's personality is perfect for the chieftain of pirates because of her selfishness and irresponsibility.

Tharalin In reply to 10animallover10 [2013-05-23 11:39:48 +0000 UTC]

Winy ? Her ?
Yes, I can't stand her personality, but I think she really adds to the story and character interactions, so it's a good bad thing.

Your Iskierka is great! She has a long serpent-like body so she can coil herself around buildings and people (Grandby lol), also she has a small legs and look like evil smoking firebreathing sausage. You must draw more Temeraire characters and submit it to Temeraire fan group [link]

Yeah I looked it up, there's a tiny story behind her name (though I don't really think it's a big spoiler, but I don't want to take any fun out of the series) I bought the first book back in 2007, and loved it so much that I always bought the newest one shortly after release. You really should read more, it's really worth it!

Thanks !
Sorry, I don't speak polish, translated it via google.
But I know her name means sparkle .
She hatched in poland (prussia, during the napoleon wars) and wanted to be named that because she heard someone sing something with that word in it.
I absolutely recommend the books, they're fantastic!
