More Leviathan Art

July 31st, 2009

It’s getting near the first of the month, so it’s time for more Leviathan art!

In this Keith Thompson masterpiece we see the Leviathan itself, in all its living airship glory, mooring over the Regent’s Park. Check out all the cool details: the elephantines at work, the policemen holding back onlookers, and the little drama unfolding at the bottom—a pickpocket interrupted in progress, perhaps?

In the printed version you can see even more details. But this gives you an idea of how intricate Keith’s work is. And as I keep saying, this is only one of fifty pieces of interior art. Two percent!

Click here to see the other two I’ve already revealed.

    The drawing is gorgeous!! I love his style.
    I suppose that’s a grand airship tethered in the background, then?
    Fabulous. Reminds me a little of Final Fantasy (in a good way)

    Being that it actually HAS airships, I feel this book has great potential to become a future Hayao Miyazaki film!

    Hydrogen is colorless and odorless…it doesn’t smell of bitter almonds–even if it’s inside a clart-bag airbeast.

    I love the luminous quality to the way Keith colours *__*! I’m definitely buying the book, for both the story and deep studying of the art~ And, like a commentor said above, it does evoke the feeling of a Hayao Miyazaki film :D D

    Extremely excited~

As you can see, my website has had its first makeover in many years. This is to celebrate the fact that my first new series in years, Leviathan, comes out this autumn. (October 6, to be exact.)

Things may be wonky for a while as we play around under the hood. But I hope you enjoy the new look. Let me know what you think!
