Here it is. Ten seconds of my suffering.

I'm happy with how it came out, but after doing it I'm quickly realizing that there will be no more of this until I finish my exams.

(Side note, the video compression messed up some parts but also made the clouds looks super cool, so I'll take it.)

It is the mid-1800s. You are Karl Marx. You have risen to prominence aming leftist circles, with your scathing attacks in contemporary Capitalism and Imperialism. You hear a knock on your front door. Your front door is shattered.

A very large black dragon, a veteran of the British Millitary, apologizes for the damage. His name is Temeraire, and he is a Member of Parliament.

He has read your work and wishes to discuss it with you.

Temeraire Book 2 doodles - this is a very serious book series about the Napoleanic War, but you'd never guess from my art

I wanted to challenge myself with poses and so this happened.

cuties (:

#I actually really like how this turned out............. #my art #temeraire #john granby #william laurence #tenzing tharkay #this picture is after a few drinks btw #I think Laurence secretly likes being touched but yk he's very stoic and he REFUSES to ask for it so everyone kind of assumes he doesn't?? #but it. comes out a lil when he's drunk. #Tharkay is very unused to it but he's definitely not. opposed. to being touched. especially if its by Laurence... #Granby meanwhile does this all the time. #hes always falling asleep on people and clapping them on the shoulders and nudging them with his hip to get their attention #but it takes him like a bajillion years to hug Laurence for the first time cuz yk. Laurence is. Laurence. #and Laurence is also hesitant to initiate things like that bc he doesn't want to be weird (ITS NOT WEIRD TO HUG YOUR BEST FRIEND LAURENCE.) #tharkay meanwhile has never had very much desire to get close to someone physically or paid very much attention to it #and then he meets Laurence. who barely ever touches anyone. and suddenly whenever their hands brush tharkay is hyperaware of it #I have no idea what I'm saying #I've got a big fat cold and I deadass almost took my ADHD meds on accident instead of ibuprofen... it's 11pm. #that is to say. I'm a touch delirious #so I apologize sincerely if I completely mischaracterized them

A very fine captain, and a finer friend.

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #william laurence #sizes are not Quite right here but we will improve with time #I think temeraire would be Much larger by the time he gets his frills but also I was constrained by the fact that I was drawing on paper #not 100% settled on his look either but his antlers are Important to me even if they're not canonical #it has been Years since I drew any dragons I think... oh far too long :( #v. excited to sketch up some of the other excellent fellows in the coming months (starting reading throne of jade tomorrow!) #way back in 2021 eve proto-language said the way I drew pullings at the time was granby-reminiscent so I have been picturing That #let's see if I have improved since 2021 <- very probably I have done so #'specially as someone looked in my sketchbook today and saw this and told me I should be illustrating books #bestie (note: not bestie at all) you know I would if I could :/

A friend of mine has been posting quite a bit on Temeraire lately and I finally did it. I cracked the spine.

And friends.

I am in love.

Excuse me as I start live blogging my experience because hoo boy.

I just finished chapter three, but recap highlights:

Laurence being furious at the French captain for risking his crew unnecessarily and refusing to give the captain his sword back...until he realised the captain was trying to defend a dragon egg. Then deciding to return the sword because the captain had done correctly. Like. A+ characterization, no notes. It speaks so much to this character!

I love Temeraire's voice? Just, how he talks is so lovely.

On that note, Temeraire, it's so convenient that you have a full grasp of the english language and understand things like north, south, and lee. That sped us through a lot of complications real quick!

TEMERAIRE YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD BEAN.

Volatilus I would die for you. I love you. You are so sweet and kind and good. You are the best dragon. So sorry Temeraire, you're upper class Eton Dragon, Volly is my sweet little golden retriever and deserves all the praise in the world.

Hearing Volatilus enthuse about "Cows!!" watered my crops.

And on that note, Laurence you are such a snob. Calling poor Volatilus's mind "uncongenial" because he's not as smart as your INT+20 dragon. Volatilus was perfectly congenial. Leave him alone.

Please. Help.

I love everyone in this bar. T_T
