#tem: heavyweight

[travellingdragon]

Sunset formation, as I called the file. A Yellow Reaper, Mauerfuchs, and a black Regal Copper, the sizes are a bit off though.

edit: just remember why I didn't post it when I drew it ^^' and that is because I saw this wonderful art by @/laurelhach and wanted to play around with my brushes to see if I could draw something like that, only with the formation of a Temeraire RPG I was part of at the time. So if you enjoy this then please check out laurelhach's, it's honestly better and I love both drawings in the post!

Pesos Pesados de Boldwyr/ Boldwyr Heavyweights

Tipo de criatura: Gigante Guerreiro

Custo de mana: 2 vermelhas + 2 de qualquer cor = 4 no total

8/8 de Poder e Resistência

Por que ela é interessante? essa criatura tem atropelar, então dano adicional passa direto na vida do jogador(a) defensor(a). Quando essa criatura entrar em jogo cada oponente poderá procurar em seu próprio grimório por uma criatura e colocá-la em jogo, ou seja, irá gerar um tutor para os seus oponentes. Depois, cada jogador que fizer isso embaralhará seu próprio grimório por ter mexido nele. Pense esse tutor como punição por custar muito pouco em mana para ser conjurado.

how to be a great writer

youve got to fuck a great many women beautiful women and write a few decent love poems.

and dont worry about age and/or freshly-arrived talents.

just drink more beer more and more beer

and attend the racetrack at least once a week

and win if possible.

learning to win is hard - any slob can be a good looser

and dont forget your brahms and your bach and your beer.

dont overexercise.

sleep until noon.

avoid credit cards or paying for anything on time.

remember that there isnt a piece of ass in this world worth over $5O (in 1977)

and if you have the ability to love love yourself first but always be aware of the possibility of total defeat wether the reason for that defeat seems right or wrong -

an early taste of death is not necessarily a bad thing.

stay out of churches and bars and museums, and like the spider be patient - time is everybodys cross, plus exile defeat treachery

all that dross.

stay with the beer.

beer is continuous blood.

a continuous lover.

get a large typewriter and as the footsteps go up and down outside your window

hit that thing hit it hard

make it a heavyweight fight

make it the bull when he first charges in

and remember the old dogs who fought so well: hemingway, céline, dostoevsky, hamsun. if you think they didnt go crazy in tiny rooms just like youre doing now

without women without food without hope

then youre not ready.

drink more beer. theres time. and if theres not thats alright too.

como ser um grande escritor

você tem mais é que comer muitas mulheres mulheres bonitas e escrever uns poemas de amor decentes.

não se preocupe com a idade e/ou novos talentos.

apenas beba mais cerveja mais e mais cerveja

e vá às corridas ao menos uma vez por semana

e ganhe se possível.

aprender a ganhar é difícil - qualquer porcão pode ser um bom perdedor.

e não se esqueça de brahms e de bach e de sua birita.

não faça muito exercício.

durma até o meio-dia.

evite cartões de crédito ou pagar qualquer coisa no dia.

lembre-se que não existe um cu nesse mundo que vale mais de $5O (em 1977)

e se você tiver a capacidade de amar primeiro ame a si mesmo mas sempre tenha em mente a possibilidade de derrota total ainda que a razão dessa derrota pareça certa ou errada -

um gostinho de morte cedo não é necessariamente uma coisa ruim.

fique longe de igrejas e bares e museus, como a aranha seja paciente - o tempo é a cruz de todo mundo, mais solidão derrota traição

toda essa sujeira.

fique com a cerveja.

cerveja é sangue contínuo.

um amor contínuo.

pegue uma boa máquina de escrever e enquanto os passos vêm e vão além de sua janela

bata nela bata nela com força

como se fosse uma luta de pesos pesados

faça como o touro em sua primeira investida

e lembre-se dos velhões que lutaram tão bem: hemingway, céline, dostoiévski, hamsun. se você acha que eles não enlouqueceram em quartos minúsculos assim como você faz agora

sem mulheres sem comida sem esperança

você então não está pronto.

beba mais cerveja. há tempo. e se não houver está tudo bem também.

charles bukowski; este é o meu piano (essa loucura roubada que não desejo a ninguém a não ser a mim mesmo amém)

MUSIC: Tyla Ft. TEMS – No.1

With the well-enchanted song “No.1,” a multi-talented Grammy award-winning South African female music sensation, Tyla crashes into the music stage. To spice it up, she sought the amazing musical abilities of Tems, a heavyweight Nigerian Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter and icon. Furthermore, the referenced composition stated above is drawn from “Tyla (Album),” her presently discovered…

Genereux took a selfie during Tongues of Serpents and @nighttimepatrons can't tell me otherwise. With Kulingile hanging in there, and Temeraire and Iskierka having a discussion in the background.

[travellingdragon]

Genereux!

[travellingdragon]

Desdemona, the Celestial/Yellow Reaper cross @nighttimepatrons and I came up with. Since her parents would have a different number of digits, I made her wings asymmetrical and her feet have a small, useless finger. For the colouration I just went with the Reaper yellow, but the stripes are mostly black instead of white and the wing are a bit more extra than I'd imagine either Reaper or Celestial wings. Her ruff and tendrils are far smaller/less developed than that of a Celestial, but she's got a Reaper's horns and ridged back.

[travellingdragon]

Some more Iskierka!

A little wingless Iskierka wanted to be drawn while I was most definitely working

Sketches of Imperials with horns. They grow bigger and bigger the older the dragon gets and get shed regularly. Some dragons shape the horns as the grow. I also tried to put horns on a Celestial but I don't think I'll go with that; they cover the frill so it can't be moved and I don't like that.

The flight from their camp to the old capital had been blessedly short. Laurence wrangled the robes up above his knees in order to step into Temeraire’s talon. On the ground, a lone figure waited to hand him down, and Laurence quickly resettled the robes before Temeraire had lowered him enough to be visible to anyone else. To his great shock, he realized only too late that it was Tharkay.  He tensed to pull his hand back, but Tharkay tightened his grip just enough to keep hold of Laurence’s fingers.
