Very nice! Great job on Temeraire (lovely draconic anatomy ;)), and on the background as well. Very dramatic and classic. This is random, but I'm impressed with your rocks (they look properly rock-like, hard planed and occasionally jagged . . . something I have difficulty with).

Thank you, I'm glad you like how Temeraire looks. I find it quite hard to fit six limbs "realistically" onto one dragon, so it's great to hear it worked. As for the rocks, I don't draw nature often and had trouble with them myself, so mostly I just followed the instructions on drawing rocks from the chapter of Jack Hamm's book "Drawing Scenery: landscapes and seascapes" which turned out very useful for me.
