Artist:beccastareyes
Rating:: G
Fandom: Digimon/Temeraire
Characters: Hikari Yagami, Tailmon (as Holydramon)
Warnings: AU/fusion
Artist notes: Done in acrylic on canvas. I am willing to ship
the original to the artist at my expense, if provided with a mailing
address.
Summary: A fusion between Digimon and Temeraire
Taken from 'Travels in the Country of Japan', a collection of
paintings:
Decided on a fusion between Digimon and Temeraire, which meant taking
the most dragon-looking of the Digimon, Tailmon's Mega/Ultimate/final
form, Holdramon/Mugendramon and Hikari. And probably messing up the
size ratio, since she only appears in a single movie. Of course, then
that meant thinking about what Japan was like in the Temeraire
universe where, like China, it might not be just coming out of an
extended isolation from the West.
I wanted to do a military uniform, but Wikipedia failed me for early
1800s, as that was several relatively peaceful decades before the
Imperial Japanese armed forces formed. So, something that seems to
match (male) samurai garb -- like the Roland women, Hikari will just
have to rock the male fashions.I probably messed up the color usage,
but I wanted to go for green as a contrast to Holydramon's pink and as
an allusion to the British Aerial Corps.
I also wanted to slip some allusion to Tailmon herself, hence the
blue-and-white maneki neko statute in the corner. I think that's my
favorite part of the painting and now I kind of want a Tailmon
beckoning cat of my own.

Summary: A fusion between Digimon and Temeraire
Taken from 'Travels in the Country of Japan', a collection of
paintings:
Like China, Japan allows for dragons to choose their
handlers and professions, though young dragons are paired with
children and they are often raised together. My hosts in the city of
Edo were the Yagami family, who were honored to have both their
children chosen by draconic 'partners'. Their daughter and her
dragon, breed Shin-riu (which translates to 'divine dragon' when
written in English) agreed to stand for a portrait.
