#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #temeraire worldbuilding collection #did you like those guys from the last picture? here they are again :) #at this point I feel like I should have be oc tagging five deer and cipachcoatzin just for organizational purposes #but if I don't then I can pretend I can stop drawing them... #<- He Has Ideas For At Least One More Picture and Other People And Dragons They Know #if you want to see what five deer is drawing then turn your eyeballs to my previous drawing of them! #after finishing that one I wanted to figure out what cipachcoatzin looked like outside of the super stylized depiction - here he is! #also lacking any other ideas I've decided that's his name now. my classical nahuatl is So So So Beginner but I'm Trying #(cipactli [caiman] + glottal stop + coatl [snake] + tzin [honorific suffix]... #...or cipactli [caiman] + ton [diminutive suffix you might use for a kid]) #haven't come up with a personal name for five deer yet but what with naming other characters they'll interact with my abilities Do run out #so that can be a work in progress #pretty pleased with how this turned out especially cipachcoatzin's little obsidian mirror-ornaments #the background and color scheme is Heavily based on luis covarrubias' 'view of the valley of mexico' #but maybe I can manage some more urban settings for them or the other characters in future pictures
