I did some studies of the sky on a plane yesterday and had doodled Temeraire on one of them while waiting for the sky to change. So I decided to add the rest of Lily's formation really quick on the rest after I got home >w<

In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, here's Lily's full formation overhead!

I really wanted to show the full variation in color and wing structure of the group. The wing shape is all based on different birds as that was the easiest way for me to visualize different skills between each dragon breed.

Would love to draw more of the middleweights and lightweights! I wasn't able to give them much detail here.

Dragons

I painted 8 dragon figurines to look like characters from Naomi Noviks Temeraire series!

It is done, my final goal of having Lily’s formation as figurines has been completed. Originally this obsession started with Iskierka so she will be here as a bonus to the formation.

Each dragon has its own post with more pictures in detail.

For those wondering what minatures I based the characters on, here is them from left to right:

Immortalis: “Young Bronze Dragon” by Wizkids - Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures

Maximus: “Krondys, Son of Dracothion” by Warhammer - Age of Sigmar

Nitidus: “Young Red Dragon” by Wizkids - Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures

Dulcia: “Young Green Dragon” by Wizkids - Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures

Messoria: “Young Bronze Dragon” by Wizkids - Attack Wing

Lily: “Ancient White Dragon” by Lord of the Print

Iskierka: “Young Red Dragon” by Lord of the Print

Temeraire: “Gold Dragon” by MiniMonsterMayhem

I am aware that the sizes of the dragons do not match their sizes from the book perfectly. Maximus does have the biggest body, and Lily does have the longest wings though. However the light-weights Dulcia and Nitidus are more middle-weights in this case.

To get a better picture of how Lily’s formation would look like I placed them in the described order on a rug:

I am so very happy I could finish this massive project and want to thank everyone who helped me plan out the designs, especially my friends from the Temeraire Discord.

This won’t be the end for me completely, since I do wish to paint at least Lien, but for now I will stop and enjoy the view of those I have on my shelf.

It also makes me happy to see that I am not the only one taking joy in seeing my Temeraire figurines, which made the effort behind this much more worth it.

Godspeed Aviators!

here's the art for my watercolor final! I had to like, study an artist and then do a creative response to them. Originally I planned to do William Blake, but I really lost interest in him so I switched to Emma Larson because just trying to paint like her would seriously challenge my brain and way of making art.

So for this I really wanted to release control over my paint and over what the dragons look like. This is watercolor on Yupo paper, which is like, just a plastic sheet so the watercolor just kinda does what it wants.

Dragon wise, we have: Iskierka, Yu-Li, Dulcia (and other grey coppers), Maximus, Lily, Temeraire, Immortalis, Nitidus, Volly, and Messoria.

Lily is BY FAR my favorite :)

Temeraire derg on draconia part 2/? - Accendare, the Flamme-de-gloire, - Nitidus, the Pascal’s blue, check out @travellingdragon design too, - Volly (Volatilus), the Greyling (the wings are supposed to be white stripped but that the best I could do).

And voila.

Warren: Nitidus, you worry too much.

Nitidus: No, I worry exactly the right amount. You can never worry too much!

I headcanon that Warren and Nitidus are often to the side judging the young’uns on their drama. (Back in his day, Warren was the drama.)
