Fandom: Temeraire, sort of
Characters/Pairings: Santa Claus, dragon
Media used: GIMP
Rating/warnings: G, Christmas themes?
Notes/comments: It occurred to me that in the Temeraire universe Santa Claus wouldn't get equipped with weirdly flying, magical reindeer, but he'd just be believed to use a dragon to fly around and deliver presents. This made me feel a distinct lack of Santa Claus pictures with dragons in them. (Everything is better with dragons.) So I drew one. First I wanted to do a complete flying dragon, but then Santa was so tiny that you couldn't really see him anymore, so I settled for showing just part of the dragon in favor of a larger Santa. Though he probably still ought to be smaller, if it was a huge dragon to carry all the presents, but in any case it works better than the reindeer logistics...
