Steampunk Temeraire

Well, this may be the only Temeraire artwork I'll do that actually shows my own version of Temeraire. Yeah, I gave him a beard much like Skie. Guess the female Celestials would not have a beard and the males would.

I thought this out in my head and kinda saw the whole alternate universe Naomi Novik created to go the route of steampunk fantasy.

And I have Captain Laurence dressed more in American Western/Victorian Era clothing rather than the olive green drab Napoleonic look he has in the book. You might say this takes place much later after the Napoleonic wars and perhaps Laurence and Temeraire decided to say screw Australia and move to the American Southwest. LOL.

And since one of my British friends has a thing for American handguns, I drew Laurence holding a Colt .45 Peacekeeper. LOL, Temeraire with steampunk goggles. Go fig. I think it looks cute.
