:DoL: Temeraire

So here we have the first piece in what might turn out to be a series for me; DoL (Dragons of Literature). It’s Temeraire from Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series; starting with ’His Majesty’s Dragon’. FANTASTIC SERIES! If you haven’t read them I would urge you to do so as soon as possible! They are stunning!

So yes, Temeraire; the main dragon protagonist from the Temeraire series, partner to Captain William Laurence.

This whole piece is done with fineliner pens; all tone was achieved with hatching and cross hatching; three colours in this one: black, light blue and dark blue. The detail in this killed me (full view if you want to see them). Or if anyone is interested I might upload some detail shots later.

I’m really enjoying doing these, so if anyone has a dragon from a book they would like to see done let me know ^^ I’m all up for having a go. I have a few more dragons in mind that I would like to do and not all from Temperaire.

Also ^^ WATERMARK! I’ve never had a watermark before; the image I used is a tribal Okapi that I drew for print making last semester.

Anyway; enjoy. Also, critique is more than welcome. ^^
