Temeraire the dragon circling overhead with two characters —William Laurence and Tenzing Tharkay—looking up at him and calling a greeting to him.
I keep forgetting that Bluesky exists but I want to post more on here, so here’s my piece for the Temeraire 20th anniversary fanzine. #Temeraire

A watercolour painting of Temeraire (the dragon) falling backwards through the sky, roaring a Divine Wind upward. Under him his the sea and behind him is the sun as it sets dramatically in a cloudy sky.
A watercolour sketch of Temeraire, this time seen from behind as he uses the Divine Wind to smash a wave into a ship. Again the sea is below him and the background is the setting sun.

A pencil sketch of a corner of the Folly's atrium. Molly and Nightingale sit in armchairs next to a table with a lamp on it, both of them mending clothes. On the ground between them stands a sewing basket. Foxglove sits in the foreground, sketching the scene.

A rough pencil sketch of a cloudy day at a loch and part of its surroundings, with Malachite Reaper circling over the loch.
A rough pencil sketch of two dragons flying over a valley, the sun casting their shadows onto a slope. One of the dragons is a Longwing, I forgot what I had in mind for the other.

15 small drawings of maps, one for each of the first 15 RoL moments. 1: the Navy and Military Club's original location at Piccadilly. 2: Florence (Arizona) in the US, with signs pointing to the too many prisons. 3: the BKA in Meckenheim. 4: the ground floor of the Folly. 5: Waterlow Park, funnily enough there's a building (or organisation?) called Lux there. 6: Casterbrook, at least where I think it might be. I followed the descriptions in Moon over Soho and then just plonked in a field. 7: the Brocken; I wasn't quite sure where exactly the moment takes place so I went with the top of the mountain. 8: this moment is an interview and I wanted that reflected in the drawing, so there's a cassette tape. And the New York Public Library since that's where Stephen works. 9: I spent so so long trying to find Swinfaeder in the Chilterns and I failed. I just put it on the other side of Ambrose forest, so very close to Casterbrook cause that's where the talking foxes seem to have come from. 10: Kite/Parliament Hill. 11: couldn't find Allcroft so I made something up. 12: Fortnum and Mason in London. 13: another interview, this time at the Folly. 14: there's only so much you can do with an ocean tbh. 15: this one drove me nearly to desperation since try as I might I couldn't find appropriate maps of Pitlochry around 1978 but I knew that the hospital has moved since then. Finally I went with a guess ^^
Little drawings for the for the #RiversOfLondon Moments inspired by the covers of the books and buoyed by my love for maps. I went down a few research rabbit holes to draw these and it was a lot of fun! #art

Five dragons flying through the fog over the Rhine. There are three heavy-weights of Eroica's breed, all grey or brown coloured with yellow or orange highlights and lighter wings, with Eroica, a brown and orange dragon, in the middle. Above him flies a Berghexe, a green middle-weight with beige and grey wing edges. And above the Berghexe flies a Mauerfuchs, a grey and orange courier. In the background the unfinished Cologne Cathedral can be seen through the fog.
Eroica am Rhein - All of the Prussian breeds in one spot: Eroica (in the middle) with two other heavyweights, a Berghexe and a Mauerfuchs flying through the fog over the Rhine, with the building site of the Cologne Cathedral in the background. #temeraire #art #dragon
