Scrubbing down the ship's dragon is a big responsibility. Not only does it keep the mighty beast clean and comfortable, but also helps foster a bond between dragon and crew. Normally the task is undertaken by a dragon's whole ground crew, but after accidentally stepping on Ahastar and finding, to his surprise, that it felt rather nice and that the raptor didn't instantly squash apart (as such tiny creatures usually do) Temeraire decided to break convention and appoint a single crewman to clean him. It wasn't as if the rest of the crew could object - a ship's dragon may not be technically in command, but he is quite able to eat everyone on board if someone displeases him, so they rarely do.
For Ahastar's part, any objections are to be taken directly to Temeraire, who always makes a point to listen politely before putting the raptor to use beneath his hindpaws.
Sometimes, when he feels particularly generous, Temeraire takes Ahastar to meet his friends, who also enjoy a scrub-down (though Smaug pretends not to). When the raptor forgets his cleaning equipment, or it mysteriously goes mison arrival, he can usually be persuaded to use his tongue instead, but it sometimes takes quite a lot of trampling to change his mind.
Part 0 of the Dragon Servicing series, which I posted in reverse order for extra confusion, RRRR! Thanks, as always, to
Ahastar for carrying a stylish bucket.
Also, check out this one in full resolution, and:
- Part 0.5 <-- this one, but with only the dragons
- Part 0.75 <-- this one, but with ALL the Ahastars
- Part 1 (Bolt)
- Part 2 (Temeraire)
- Part 3 (Smaug)

Ahastar has the best paws, followed closely by Bolt >w>
Surely the lil raptor could use some assistance! :V
I love it! <3<3<3
Excellent work as always, this series of pics is beautiful!
Seriously they all look amazing.
I wonder how one would volenteer for such a service, and not just to help unpeel him If he were to become stuck to the bottoms like a piece of gum. :P
Thanks for the lovely content as always, Diablo!
Smaug looks good in your style and it's nice to see Temeraire. There isn't that much fanart of him. Now we have to invite Draco from Dragonheart and Ghidorah to unite all of my favorite famous dragons^^
I mean fanart...
Is this better or worse than to get stomped flat by all three at once immediately?
On one hand like this only hurts Ahastar's ego/soul. On the other hand there is no guarantee that the three won't stomp him afterwards - and then wait until he has revived so he can clean up the mess he made...
Eigher they trample him slowly to pulp (for that "little" extra torture) or they stomp him with full force or just jump on him with all their weight to splash his innards all over the place for an even bigger mess.
Of course, it has to be said that everything involving dragons is dragon propaganda, because how could you not look at something this amazing (both the picture and the content) and not be instantly smitten with it, fall down on your hands and knees, and worship like you SHOULD, lowley thrall?!
Amazing stuff, my good friend! These dragons have surely come along nicely ...
