So we know that Scott is tallying up the votes, so we decided to make a topic on the new picture, and future ones too. We can discuss what it reveals and all that jazz. ;)
-
SHow the link to the picture!!!!
-
#2 wins!!! ;D
-
Double headed eagle! It is related to the Hapsburgs! And just saying - looks like Alek is checking Deryn out.
-
Yay! I love his coat! It looks like a cape.
-

Not totally, his eyes are angled more upwards, towards the two-headed bird, or the cadges.
-
here's the link for the blog post :

-
maybe it is the Hapsburg Eagle!
-
In his blog post, Scott said most of the secrets are stuff they're SAYING!!! The big secret???
-
AMAZING!!! ;D
Am I the only one who thinks Alek looks a little tired in this picture?
-
I think Deryn just told him or is telling him!

I thinkthere are 2 birds, there is a wing in the middle of where the breast(orni term) would be if they were connected.
-
it was the 2-headed messenger.
-
this is just my thought but it looks like the birds eyes are covered.
-
Mmm, his coat is really smexy. And yeah, he looks exhausted.
Has anyone else noticed the knife attached to Deryn's ankle?
-
Well... I'm disappointed. The bird was nice, but it didn't give me a better idea for the overlay of the book, like the third one would have, nor would it contain my favorite charrie, like the first. However, it's a nice imagine and will generate a good discussion.
So, we have a bird. Very official looking. Messenger, probably. Possibly the same messenger as in the first picture. Or it could be a whole new messenger. (I think that's more likely, unless "two headed" was a figure of speech, meaning something aside from the appearent.) The scenario in my head is that Barlow received a different bird bearing different news, and now Alek has received a personal bird. Secret information, maybe?
-
Yea, the birds eyes are covered. And I do love Alek's coat. Maybe he was sleeping and was woken up for the secret....
-
I think it's the same bird from the first picture with Dr. Barlow.
-
the coat was epic. Alek, worried, the bird very regal. Deryn, ominous, and bovril, cute.
-
This is an awesome picture, and Alek look gorgeous. And Bovril is so cute and smart. I want to squeeze him. Perhaps Deryn is telling the birds something.
-
It looks like there's a camera in the top left corner! I could be mistaken, but it certainly looks like one...
-
I have no clue what that thing on the left is. And I love Deryn's face; I wonder what she's thinking?
-

I saw that too! Wonder what it is...
-
Actual thoughts will come later. Now I'm just like
I8HGIOEPOT9G0E9HYTJWELTGHSW
OMG OMG NEW PIC
ALEK LOOKS SO HOT UGH
FDOEJEDPYE
HUH BOVRIL IS BIGGER THEN I THOUGHT IT WAS.
GOEYIKRYLOE
And so on and so forth.
-
im still high from excitement.
-
Deryn. Why are you covering your mouth. Did the bird take a nibble on your figures? Are you unease about something? Are you thinking long and hard about something....or someone? Hmm?
...Oh, she has an interesting knife in her boot!
Alek looks unsure about the birds, possibly the one in the cage. Whats the matter Alek? not used to the beasties yet? lolz
-
Alek looks like he is afraid. Probably of the freaky giant two-headed bird.
-
Yea, the birds eyes are covered. And I do love Alek's coat. Maybe he was sleeping and was woken up for the secret....
That's a good possibility, that seems to happen a lot. Deryn looks like she's puzzling over something, maybe the secret?
-
So, guys? Did the bird deliver good news or bad news? I personally think it's bad news.
-
by Deryn's expression, bad news.
-
bad news.
-
So, guys? Did the bird deliver good news or bad news? I personally think it's bad news.
Well, Alek's frowning, and Deryn looks very serious, almost uncharacteristically so. I'm gonna go with bad.
Those cadges have birds in them, maybe Deryn is taking the messengers to one of the cadges to stay for the night?
-
And after that, they do a little talking.
-
I wish I knew what scheme is cooking up in Deryn's head.
-
Random thoughts:
Okay, a stretch, but Deryn's touching her lips. Doubt anyone's kissed her before the picture, but maybe the two of them are talking about Lilit?
(I think i've read What You Are too many times.)
Also I feel proud of myself, I noticed Deryn's clothes were off from the preview image.
The texture of her hand is strange- a burn?
-
OMG come out with the book already!!!!
-
it's going to be awhile
-
It almost looks as if she is sucking her thumb.
I love Bovril expression.
-
Looks like Deryn is sucking on her hand. *squints*
-
It looks like she has her hand over her mouth, in a lady like fashion to cover a yawn.
-
maybe she is biting her fingernails
-
I've been squinting at the picture for like 5 minutes now. I can't tell what Deryn is doing with her hand. It could just a thinking gesture.
-
They both seem worried about something. Possibly bad news the bird brought.
-
She looks like Lilit.
-
Her other hand is gripped though, like she's nervous or frustrated about something.
Alek's eyebrow is arched in a way that gives an impression of curiosity or confusion.
.... You know, I give up, I'm just going to find a time machine.
-
any idea why theres two lizards on the ground?
-
the bird(s) look Ottoman to me.
-

Her hand is gripped cause the birds are probably barking heavy. They aren't exactly light
-

That is how you hold a falcon/what ever she is holding :)
-
any idea why theres two lizards on the ground?
I wonder if anyone ever worries about stepping in them and crushing them.
-
i would ;)
-
I'm sure it happens here and there. Occupational hazard.
-
Ew ;D
-
the bird(s) look Ottoman to me.
-
Must be the helmets
-
Anyone notice all the bird droppings on the platform? I hope no one slips... :D
-
Eww, you are right.
-
Oh Kieth Thompson, you and your wonderful detail ^^
-
He really is amazing! We're so lucky to have him ;D
-
Hey, did Scott say anything about a character losing a limb or something? I can't remember....
-
What?! :o
-
I don't know...May it was just a speculation that got outta hand....
still, it would be interesting.
But back to the pic!
Kieth Thompson's pis usually have a lot of stuff happening in it, with all that detail. Lets see if we can spot anything that might gives a clue.....
.....
....
....
...Found his signature but.... other than that.
-
Do you think that the coat is Alek's? It looks a little big for him. Could it be someone else's, like Klopp or Hoffman? Or maybe I'm just over-analyzing ::)
-
Oh, AMAZING! ;D
What I want to know is why Alek is wearing a British Air Service Officer's Jacket (http://www.warmuseum.ca/cwm/exhibitions/navy/galery-e.aspx?section=2-C-7&id=1). That is what it looks like to me. (It's not an Austrian coat, those have waistline seams) I wonder whose it is?
Deryn's clothes look loose and kind of strange... with falconry gear on top. Is that belt usual? It looks a bit Japanese to me. Deryn has evidently decided that carrying a knife around at all times is the best bet. :)
Can't you tell I love clothes? XD
Funny how we couldn't see the condor looking bird in the cage behind them in the preview... it should have been somewhat visible, I think. The two headed bird looks like some kind of eagle/hawk/vulture mashup. It definitely seems to have two heads, it only has one pair of talons. Deryn does have a strange look on her face, I guess it could be shock, but also looks like she might just be thinking hard. Alek looks a bit wary and worried.
And finally, the most important observation of all... there is bird poo on the walkway beneath them. :P
-
Alek is probably wearing those clothes to blend in and stay hidden. Or maybe the people on the air service are really nice and wanted to give him clean clothes. Deryn's clothes don't seem that unusual to me.
-
I just can't get over how tired and exhausted Alek looks. It makes me think that this message was delivered late at night, or extremely early morning.
Or that Alek hasn't been sleeping well. Which is a definite possibility.
-
I recognize Alek's outfit under the jacket. He wears it in the Hotel during Behemoth.
oh god how do i notice these things
The jacket, though, no clue.
Anyway, for the hand, ACCORDING TO GOOGLE IMAGES, you don't always have to have your fist clenched. So I dunno.
Also, for a scene about secrets, is it really wise to say something in front of three (four, if you count the bird) message repeating beasties?
-
I like the knife on Deryn's boot. What she gonna use if for? X3
Oh! What if Deryn mumbled something under her breath that she didn't mean to say out loud. Alek didn't catch it cause he was distracted or something by the birds, but Bovril caught it and she fears he might say whatever it is she might have said.
-
OH! I love that idea!! :D
-
She certainly has Bovril's attention. Doesn't she.
-
Heh, that kind of makes sense. Alek might have actually heard and just be confused. XD
-
Alek: "Did you say something Dylan?"
Dylan: "What? No. I, uh, didn't say anything."
Bovril: "Mr.Sharp. *giggles*"
Dylan: >:(
-
The knife on Deryn's boot is her rigging knife. She usually has it with her.
It is kinda stupid to tell secrets in front of Bovril. "Mr. Sharp"
-
You gotta love Bovril!! ;D
Well, Deryn is definitely going to be sent on a mission of some sort to deliver that package from the third picture, and she has that rigging knife on her boot then too. Maybe she just has it with her at all times now; it can come in handy.
-
I'm curious of that odd looking machine on the left. Is it just a shipping thing? hmm.
-
I can't figure out what that thing is on the left. I have no clue. I think it controls something....
-
not important.
-
Bovril looks awestruck by the birds.
-
... I miss Tazza...
-
He's in the Barlow pic, i think.
-
I can't figure out what that thing is on the left. I have no clue. I think it controls something....
If you look Above it is a package so I think it may be some kind of crane mechanizam
-
If you read through the comments on the actual post, you'll see that her clothes look weird because she's wearing a flight suit - something she usually wears if it's going to be cold (her keelhaul drop into freezing waters, or on the glacier) So they might be in Russia, and she was just outside. Alek is not wearing any warm clothing, so he probably wasn't outside recently.
Here's what I'm guessing, or hoping ;) is going on:
A: So the Emperor is dying... soon I can stop the war. :)
D: That's... wonderful.
A: You don't seem very happy about it.
D: Since when are you perceptive?
A: What's going on?
D: Erm... it's a bit of a secret.
A: I told you mine. I think I can handle yours.
D: Promise not to freak out.
A: Promise.
D: I'm a girl.
A:.... AuGH!
D: You promised not to freak out! Look, you're scaring the birdie.
-
When i went and looked back at the partial pictures did anyone else notice bovril in the first pic?
-
Or the Loris could belong to the lady boffin. In the second picture I think Alek is just depressed. He never seems to be smiling in pictures.
-
That's not her flight suit, the jacket is way too short. Her flight suit (http://keiththompsonart.com/pages/negotiations.html) has a skirted bottom and is longer thant that. And it's made of fur lined-leather. We'd be able to see the big fluffy collar. The trousers could be her flight suit trousers though...
The emperor's death/severe illness could be the secret too, yes. But I sort of think that it's probably something we'll never guess, but will seem really obvious once we get to that part in the book.
-
For some reason, simply based on the fact that I saw the picture with the blur of white, I knew that if Alek was in the picture, his face would have that expression. It's weird.
And that bird does have two heads! Awesome! :D
I don't think that's a camera, but machinery in the corner of the picture, but that's just me.
I also don't think Deryn's clothes meant anything special...
I noticed that boot knife straight away too, but someone mentioned the rigging knife on here, and I think that's right. She always has it with her, does she not?
I'm thinking Deryn is thinking hard about some bad news, and Alek is watching the thoughts run a mile a minute through her head. Plus, he might be a little weary, (it looks like he's looking at the bird) because he's still Clanker, and these fabricated beasties still freak him out. And I also agree that the bird there is the bird from chapter one, the messenger. But then again, it would be a bit disproportioned, because in the first picture it looked like it'd be bigger. Who knows? :)
And maybe Bovril is the one telling the secrets? He is the observant one, after all...
I think that pretty much wraps up all of my thoughts... :)
-
Alek still has to tell her what Volger revealed to him about the pope that passed away. He was the only hope for Alek to become emperor. That could be one of the discussions they have.
-
Yeah, but that's not exactly a secret... I mean, when a pope dies, its not top secret or anything.
-
no, but that could be one thing that might lead to a secret or something
-
And I also agree that the bird there is the bird from chapter one, the messenger. But then again, it would be a bit disproportioned, because in the first picture it looked like it'd be bigger. Who knows? :)
I think the bird looked bigger in the other picture simply because we were closer to it then Barlow. To me it looked like it was flying, through a window maybe?
-
I thought it almost looked like it was flapping its wings. Landing perhaps, since you suggested it coming through a window. That would make sense since birds fly, and the Leviathan is most likely off the ground. :)
-
Its a big bird and big birds require big wings. When the wings are open they make the bird seem much bigger
-
An explanation for Deryn's hand to her mouth could be that she's blowing her whistle.
And is it me, or does Alek have a black eye?
I hope she punched him. ;D And I really hope there's a picture. ;D
-
LOL I could totally imagine her punching him.
Deryn- WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT WOMAN AND THEIR RIGHTS?!?!?!
Alek- Nothing!!! I swear!!
Later....
Alek- WHY DLYAN!?!?! WHYYYY?!?!?!?
-
I think Alek looks older in this picture.
And Deryn looks like she's thinking "oh crap, did I just say that out loud?"
Bovril thinks it's funny.
And the two headed birdy thing looks a little comical with those hoods on. Like something I've seen from a disney movie
I love this picture btw
-
Oh yeah, your right!
-
Alek is getting older.
And, although I don't have a habit of admiring boys... cuter. :-[
-
LOL
-
Alek is getting older.
And, although I don't have a habit of admiring boys... cuter. :-[
Yeah, you are right. Boys tend to look better as they get older. Less childish. Alek doesn't look like he is 12, like he did in some of the earlier pics.
-
He's not 12?
-
I know, but in some pics he looks really young. Like the one when they were in Lienz.
-
Oh, by the way, at least part of that is her Flight suit. I checked in Leviathan, and she wears her knife on her boot there, too. (page 392, Hardcover edition)
And Alek has a baby face. and is so short, it's adorable. He only comes up to Volger's shoulder
-

Boys take longer to reach their full height than girls. Which is why Deryn is currently taller. But if you look, she is also pretty short, especially compared to Dr. Barlow.
-
1. I don't think that's Deryn's Rigging knife - on pg. 344 of Leviathan she's climbing up the ladder and it looks like its just a strap to strap her pants to her boots, and if you look closely in this picture you can kind of see one on the other side. If you look at a lot of the pictures in Leviathan those are the clothes she wears when its cold out, and Alek's awesome coat also indicates that it could be cold weather - Russia? or maybe she had to dress warmly to retrieve the two-headed messenger from the top of the Leviathan?
2. I also don't think that Alek is looking at Deryn, I think he's looking at one of the birds (who's hats intrigue me and might me significant?)
3. Deryn just looks like she's thinking to me, or found out some bad news from the messenger birds
OR Alek and Deryn could be having a secret conversation and they think someone is watching so Alek is trying to look nonchalant and Deryn is covering her mouth so nobody can read her lips - but this seems highly unlikely considering all of the beasties listening
-
They're not hats - it's hooded, like a hawk. YOu know, like falconry hoods?
-
So I was rereading the end of Behemoth this morning and Volger mentions a eagle type beastie that delivers the newspaper with Alek's article from Churchill himself. I'm not sure if the birds in this picture are eagle like (they look more hawkish to me, but what do I know), but maybe it's from Churchill.
-
That sounds like a good possibility to me.
Wait, Dr. Barlow is in that first picture... Do you think Volger could be in that first picture too?
-
Not unless he's mega creeping on her
-
It doesn't seem as if there is enough room for him. Unless he is really short.
-
He could be in the background. Lots of people on here could have sworn there wouldn't be enough room for Alek and Deryn in that picture that was released. But there was room and more, expecially room for a bird! :)
-
If he is there that would be great! A private moment between Volger and Dr. Barlow would be awesome.
-
Even though there's no chance of them getting together. :(
But tecnically, it wouldn't be very private, since it's being told from either Alek or Deryn's point of views. :)
-
According to history, Dr. Barlow is married and knocked up during this time period.
Also, I found one picture of the real Dr. Barlow. She's a bit mousy
-
According to history, Dr. Barlow is married and knocked up during this time period.
Also, I found one picture of the real Dr. Barlow. She's a bit mousy
And her name was actually Emma Nora Barlow.
I don't think she's pregnant in canon (that would be hilarious in Goliath, though "oh btw guys, i'm pregnant") but she is married.
-
Yeah I'm sure she's not pregnant in the books. That would be weird.
Although announcing that in Goliath would be totally hilarious!
-
I don't think she could be pregnant in the books. It'd be too dangerous up there, and too emotionally, trying and there's inadequate food...
-
Yep plus all the times the ship has been tossed around.
-
That would be awesome... to be born in an airship...
-
Aww yeah! :D
-
i don't think Dr.Barlow could stand to have anyone see her as an actual human. she's too high and mighty to get preggo.
-
...She had six kids in real life.
-
but still, who would the father be?
-
VOLGER XD
-
::)
-
Alan Barlow ;D
-
::)
-
XD
-
does anyone else think those birds look Ottoman?
-
OR MAYBE ITS JAPANEASE XD
-
:D
-
I thought the birds looked Darwinist. They had two heads!
Maybe it's a combination of both Clanker and Darwinist. That'd be awesome!
-
It definitely looks a bit foreign... We probably won't be able to tell until the book comes out though, or we get more pictures. :(
-
since it might be the Hapsburg eagle, it might be a Darwinist thing w/ a Clanker purpose. wait, maybe the message has something to do w/ Alek?! what if they found him?
-
I think the message bird had to do with Alek. Perhaps someone died...
-
Duh duh dum!
-
but what if the Germans found him and are coming to get him? (that's what i wanted to happen in my fanfic)
-
Duh duh dum!
lol ;D
-
Duh duh dum!
XD
-
They're not hats - it's hooded, like a hawk. YOu know, like falconry hoods?
actually i've never heard of them - care to explain?
-
whey would they want to blind fold a messenger bird that probably memorizes by sound?
-
I think it's so that the birds don't get freaked out by their surroundings, so that they don't try to fly off whenever someone rushes past, y'know? And I could be mistaken but I think it keeps them quiet.
-
well that's useful.
-
Yes it would be. Imagine, 10 years of fabricating work, all flew away because someone walked pass.
-
well there goes my promotion.
-
Oh ok, thank you
-
birds are complicated apparently
-
this is something i found after rereading behemoth, on page 477 when Alek and Volger are talking and Volger is telling Alek howhe had gotten the newspaper from the captain, but what i noticed the most was what delivered the paper to the captain and that was a and i quote:
"Not just the crew,Alek. Britian has a consulate in New York, of coarse. Even there bumbling diplomats could hardly have missed this. Lord Churchill himself sent that newspaper to Captain Hobbes, carried by some sort of beastly eagle."
and i can take a few guesses at what that eagle looks like.
-
I noticed that too! I just never got around to saying it on here. LoL. That's why I think the bird probably belongs to England.
-
I haven't read that part yet, bacause I refuse to read the last chapter of Behemoth until Goliath is published, but I think you're probably right
-
There are so many spoilers on here, I couldn't bear to have not read that chapter!
But I think a lot of people think that bird is the bird at the end of the last chapter!
-
DAMN IT THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!! I THINK I MIGHT IMPLODE!!!!
-
now i can't wait for April! maybe he'll show the pic that had the second biggest amount of votes. so, #3.
anyway, it's only two more weeks until the next picture is revealed! YAY!
-
I went and dug this thread up, since the second reveal is just mere days away! What do you guys think the spoilery bit will be about? Deryn and Alek? Volger and Deryn? Something about the plot of Goliath? Alek's role in the war? What are your thoughts, ideas, theories, and /or fantasies? Let's speculate; it's fun! :D
-
I guess it may not be one of the other voting options like we thought.... It could be anything, but it is good that it will reveal something, unlike the last picture (although it was a reallly awesome picture)
-
Yea... I was hoping to see that third picture. I really wanted to see that one :-\
But you're right! As awesome as the first picture reveal was, at least this second one may actually tell us something!
-
I like Alek and Deryn pictures, but I hope this isn't one of them, simply because we already have one!
-
Here's my thoughts - once Alek finds out exactly what Deryn is, he won't act the same around her. Which means if Scott doesn't have any more pics of them together, we can probably guess the big reveal has happened. And if there's a pic of them together and they're all like :-[ awkward, then we'll also know.
-
I really hope the next picture will give us a hint at the plot, like the bird did.

That's true. Maybe it'll be a picture, he might say from chapter 20 or something, and it's Alek looking away from Deryn embarassed. Then we'll know the plot as best we can of the book as far as the secret!
And I hope we don't get a picture from the last picture voting. A brand new one would be great, especailly because with the block in the middle you can kind of already guess what's there. We need something completely new! (And preferably something from a further in chapter than the first three!)
-
I would also like to add some things that sounded very hopeful to me that I found while checking around his blog.
Bear in mind, these are all quotes...
"Goliath! And next art reveal is perhaps A BIT SPOILERY, but I think you’ll enjoy it anyway."
"...this month with added spoilerization"
What could be these extra spoils he's telling us about? Could it be the text we've longed for? :D
-
I hope so!
-
He says the spoilery bit as though we might be disappointed at the possibility of spoilers! ;D The only thing I can think about it is that it is probably an action picture or an epic landscape because we just got a quiet picture. Text would be nice, but we probably won't get any until later.
The only way we would know if it was after the big reveal would be awkwardness, which would probably just be too similar to the last picture for him to post. Or I guess Deryn in a dress would also work too, if that is even possible. XD Spoilers are probably just the plot of the book, though, which isn't as interesting to me as AlekxDeryn. :D
-
...maybe...Maybe it's an AlekxDeryn kiss! :D *is having expectations aimed at the moon*
-
I wish! That wouldn't be a quiet scene! XD
-
maybe that's a little too spoilery for me.
-
If that happens in the book at all, the moment I read that part will be known as "the Fangirl Squeal Heard Around the World".
-
I really hope the next picture will give us a hint at the plot, like the bird did.
I hope so too. I really want to know more about the plot! But I wouldn't mind some Deryn and Alek either :P
-
We'll have to see! We'll basically just have to bear through tomorrow!
-
But that is so far away! I don't know if I can wait :'(
-
It's agony waiting! :D
-
It's better than waiting for it in 173 days!
-
Ha! So true! ;)
-
On a comment on Scott's blog someone asked if the picture will be totally new or one of the ones that we've the edges of.
Scott's reply: "it will be a new piece of art, that you have seen none of before. Because that’s BETTER, right?"
:D
-
Of course it's better! ;D
-
YAY!

YES! That's exactly what I wanted! I didn't want the whole of a portion, I wanted the new. That's great, another great thing to look forward to! :D
-
so many good things!
-
Erm.. .just one problem. He keeps hinting that this art will be spoilery, getting our hopes up.
...But Friday is also APRIL 1st. He won't play a trick on us, will he?

He better not! Or if he does, then he better still reveal the picture after torturing us. It's only right!
-
Spoilers make me a happy camper. :D Well, sometimes. If it ruins something for me, than I HATE them, but if it lets me know a mall detail, ME LOVES THEM!!! :D
-
I agree! Of course, the art is bound to be awesome anyway.....*has a crush on Keith's art*
-
I'm pretty sure we all have a crush on Keith's art. So perdy! :D
PS: Hey newbie! ;D
-
Oh, hi newbie!
I love Keith!
-
Oh, hi newbie!
I love Keith!
Me too!!
-
I went on his website once. There was a lot of creepy gore.
-
I know right? But it's very pretty gore. I love the undead whale ones. They're awesome. :D
-
oh yeah, those are good!
-
Hey guys! Haha!
I cant find Keiths website....
-
the picture. it was a joke. he played a joke on us and now were even more confused :-[
-
Bwhahaha! Volger's crying! *dies of laughter*
-
...I just don't... :o
-
That's alek in the walker :o
-
I love it! So much to speculate! Is Deryn getting married?! *goes to stare at picture more*
-
Bwhahaha! Volger's crying! *dies of laughter*
i don't think hes crying, to me it looks like he has a rather large headache. sorry if i spelle anything wrong
-
I've always wanted to see Volger do a facepalm XD
So it kinda looks like Lilit is the "bride" and pulling a knife out of the bouquet... Bovril is ringbearer... Alek is pissed and using someone else's walker... All we're missing is Eddie taking pictures and reporting everything :D
Part of me wants to think that this is some sort of scheme that Alek didn't have privy to. I just can't see Deryn agreeing to a marriage considering everything....
-
i think volger is trying to prevent something between deryn and alek.
also whats with the compressed air guns the guards have it doesn't look like they are on the leviathan.
whats cute about the picture is that bovril is the ringbarer. << (thats probably spelled wrong)
-
I think Alek's dreaming. Look at the glow around Deryn and Lillit, if this was acctually happing there wouldn't be that glow, right? It just has a kinda dreamy feel to it. Or it could just be April Fools day joke, which would be equally as epic. :D Oh, and EPIC VOLGER FACEPALM!!! ;D
-
Reaction to picture:
...
Blargh....
WTF...
You notice that the caption is 'crashing a bash'? I seriously doubt 'bash' was a word used in 1914. Well played, Scott. I wonder how you got Keith to do a whole April Fool's picture.
-
I'm pretty sure the walker is photoshopped in, as there's some random guys in military uniforms behind it, and there is that fuzzy haze between it and the rest of the picture. It's a good joke though... maybe he'll reveal one of the real pictures tommorrow?
lol, it looks like Volger and Barlow are facing imminent death from Alek's walker. XD And he's driving a walker while also holding a sword and a pistol?? I do wonder if, as someone suggested, that the bottom part of the picture from Deryn's dream/nightmare. But why the knife?? Varlow are just really close, too close to be photoshopped. I wonder how many pictures this is made from? Because I assume that these are real pictures from Goliath.
And apparently Alek does get to use his fencing skills. The expression on Alek's face kind of worries me, he looks really upset, like he's going to kill someone. It's a bit out of character. The only people I could see him getting that upset about are Deryn and Volger.
Ah, so many questions!
-
you have no idea how hard it is for me to hold in a psycho fangirl squeal right now. But I'm in school, so I have to hold it in.
-
Aww... this is my day off so I am lucky.
Anyway, my sister called and we decided that it was very similar to the A Scotsman on a Horse skit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08jOGYFZCkM). That's what's going to happen next, I bet. XD
Also, Bovril is ringbearer. That has to happen at Alek & Deryn's wedding! (Because we all know that they are getting married XD)
-
Y'know - I don't care if this is an April Fool's thing or actual really-real art. It's hilarious! ;D
-
If it's not real, I hope he publishes it in the back of the book, so we can still have it. Cuz it's awesome. But does anyone else think Alek looks like a girl?
-
Y'know - I don't care if this is an April Fool's thing or actual really-real art. It's hilarious! ;D
I agree, whatever this is, it made my day! ;D
-
Alek looks like he wants to save Deryn.. very interesting.. can't wait till may!!
-
The name of the picture is an Uglies reference! All the more obvious that this is an April Fools joke. :D
-

I totally missed that! That makes sense now, though. ;D
-

I agree, whatever this is, it made my day! ;D
Yeah, but I think it's a joke, but it would be awesome if it were in the book...
-
I think it's photoshopped too. The edges around Deryn and "Lilit" are blurred and smudged.... But whether it's an April Fools prank or not, it freaking hilarious! :D
It's probably a mash-up of two or three pictures. He better reveal the truth to us soon!
-
Yeah. I saw that the walker was photoshopped into the wedding scene pretty early, but it's also pretty clear that Alek is photoshopped into the walker from the larger version of the picture. I mean, that's not a very practical fighting stance when your are sticking your torso out of a walker, is it?? ;D I still wonder what made him so upset.
Plus, he encourages us to "zoom some" to look at the picture. XD
Big version, if you missed it:
http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/crash.jpg
-
Definitely! Kieth is all about detail; he'd never have burs/smudges as painfully obvious as that!
Do you think he'll show us each individual picture that this was comprised of? I can dream, can't I? ;D
-
Probably just one, I'd think... or maybe just the parts are all he will give us. Anyway, there's plenty to guess about in this one. ;D
Also, if Alek is really in the picture he's probably just sitting in the back, happy that his friends are getting married. XD
-
I want to know why the knife is being pulled out. And what has Alek so upset. And what Deryn is really looking back at. Oh, and the obvious one: why are Deryn and Lilit getting married?! I still think it's some sort of scheme.... (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/282/5/0/_thinking__by_dutchie17.gif)
-
First of all, OH MY GOD!
Second, I really really really want this to be a prank. First, because I couldn't deal with the fact that Lilit and Deryn are getting married and second, it's just... wrong. And third there's too much to speculate on. I need a straight forward picture please, there's too much going on! Please let this be a joke!
-
Eh. This picture is annoying me, because we DON'T KNOW if it is REAL OR NOT!! I am leaning toward fake, though. I am very mistrustful of anything on the first of april.
-
Oh. My. Goodness. This blew my mind. I don't even know what to think of it. Why in the world would Deryn agree to get married? I am beyond confused. And is that Alek smashing things in the background? O_O
-
Best. April Fool's Day. Prank. EVER!
-
I really hope this is a joke. There's just too too much!
-
Someone in the comments also mentioned that Deryn could be a groomsman in the picture. Which also makes sense to me.
Why don't those people in the comments all come and join the forum? XD
-
Maybe they are... but you're right, they do have some good ideas! :)
-
...if it's a fake....
1.) worst april fool's joke ever
2.)...I can't even..the words...no. No. No!
i mite..no. I can't even finish!
-
It's probly a mash of two or three pictures. Why elase would no one realize Alek destroying the pews in the back? Also, the lighting and pencil strokes around Deryn and that random girl that's holding a knife is different from the rest of the picture
-
Even if it is a mash up though, the most important part of this picture, to me, is the "marraige", and if it's a couple different pictures, clearly it'll still happen! D:
-
What is Deryn holding? Is she getting married to Lillit? But Scott said that he wouldn't reveal the chapter's number so I think it's a fake.
-
Not to mention that if Alek had smashed through the wall with his Stormwalker, there would be a gaping hole in the wall.
I think Deryn is having a nightmare, and it's one of those dreams where you think it's real until you wake up.
-
Even if it is a mash up though, the most important part of this picture, to me, is the "marraige", and if it's a couple different pictures, clearly it'll still happen! D:
NOoooooooo Deryn can't get married! And besides, it's probly a hoax or a scheme. I think that's why Volger's facepalming, and Dr Barlow is looking all pleased
-
I don't think that's Lillit. Lillit's looks are more south Asian, and this girl just looks European
-
Or American. *hint hint*
-
It looks like she's holding gloves.
Why are the people that Alek's walker has thrown around carrying guns? If it's just a wedding (or whatever this is) then they wouldn't need guns, rite?
Just saying, Bovril's eyes look kinda scary.
-
Or American. *hint hint*
or, canadian!!
-
Or American. *hint hint*
or, canadian!!
I now feel bad for forgetting Canada.
Although, Scott didn't say they were going to Canada. Unless there's something he's hiding... *suspicious eyes*
-
Or American. *hint hint*
or, canadian!!
I now feel bad for forgetting Canada.
Although, Scott didn't say they were going to Canada. Unless there's something he's hiding... *suspicious eyes*
I'll be sad if there is no battle of Vimy Ridge
-
Is that the flower stems or a recorder I see?
-
The walker looks like it belongs to a pirate...
-
Or American. *hint hint*
or, canadian!!
Maybe Russian? ... Jk I don't know....................
-
Ther'es a possibility that perhaps Deryn has to get married for something, and she's like, crap, I can't do this. Who can I marry without giving away my secret. Hey... Lilit knows I'm a girl...
But I agree it's fake.
-
Let's just leave it at Caucasian.
-
Did anyone notice what looks like a brick wall in the background?
-
Yeah - it looks like a photo. Part of the photoshop madness.
-
ugh..this is the cruelest april fools day joke since one of my friends told me a book was coming out a month early...and I believed them. I feel about the same way rite now... ??? :( :'( >:( ::)
But..I'll give him points for creativity. ;)
-
My brain is gonna implode...@_@

I figure it's a scheme, if it even happens!

I noticed that too!
-
Ok, here's some extra confusion:
I was thinking, 'Wow, even hella pissed, Alek looks like a girl.'
Then I looked closer and thought, "He REALLY looks like a girl."
Then I looked at 'Deryn' and thought "Hey... she kinda looks like Alek."
THis sounds crazy, but I think they SWITCHED PLACES. I think Alek is really Deryn! Alek is getting married pretending to be Deryn?
-
look closely at the Boque there's a knife in the girls hand and alek may have found out about it and came to save deryn
-
Compare the faces to the other pics in the book. I'm serious - the face of the walker driver matches Deryn's. And the expression 'Deryn' has matches Alek. THEY SWITCHED! OMFG!!!!!!!
-
Maybe alek found out deryn was in trouble (the knife in the boque ) and traded places with deryn
-
Gender bending and now place swapping? Now I"m triple confused...
-

You know, switching places would explain a lot! And it could explain why Deryn would be blasting into the church to stop the wedding...
I agree that the walker controller looks a bit girly, but the only problem for me is that the "groom-to-be" looks an awful lot like Deryn too. I don't really think it could be Alek, but I like the idea and I want that to happen now!
-
OMG you're right! Thet couldve switched places! The expressions do like each other's...Is it me, or is Alek a bit...curvy?
-
No deryn is getting married if you look in behemoth aleks hair is much darker
-
OMG you're right! Thet couldve switched places! The expressions do like each other's...Is it me, or is Alek a bit...curvy?
I noticed that! and Alek looks positively uncomfortable. maybe it's the odd tailoring of the clothes? they were meant to hide a girl's 'diddies'.
and to me, the backround looks hurried and rushed.
-

Well, I definitely think that Deryn is Deryn. (XD) but Alek does like a little bit skinny and feminine. Keith often draws him like that though. As I'm 99% sure that the wedding picture and the Alek picture are not the same picture, so there's nothing ruling out them both being Deryn. (if that wasn't confusing enough. :P)
And the church door in the back looks like a photograph or a texture or something. Not one of Keith's backgrounds. It took me a while to notice the church door, I kept wondering, "Why is there swirly stuff around Alek??"
-
I'm glad that the picture's a joke, that would be to weird of a scene to analyze!
-
I don't think it is, but wouldn't it have been funny if it was some kind of reverse wedding going on? Like, the "girl" was alek? Sorry, it was just going through my mind that it would be funny. . . . :-\
-
No deryn is getting married if you look in behemoth aleks hair is much darker
Yeah, I know, but he could have bleached his hair or worn a wig. It just looks like his signature 'confused, clueless prince' expression. And the pissed off walker pilot is much more Deryn's style of emotion. I mean, come on. Has Alek EVER been in incandescent rage?
-
idk. . . . I think it is deryn. . . the expression honestly reminds me more of her. . . .
It is hard to tell who is in the walker with those helmets.
-
Compare the faces to the other pics in the book. I'm serious - the face of the walker driver matches Deryn's. And the expression 'Deryn' has matches Alek. THEY SWITCHED! OMFG!!!!!!!
I was looking at that. I was like, "wait a sec, is that Deryn???" I still think the groom looks like Deryn, though.
So I guess that Alek gets in trouble so Deryn disguises herself as Alek to save him. Hmm...
-
With a pirate walker, a gun, AND a sword. That is so epic Deryn, honestly. It's gotta be her. And that WOULD be the kind of thing SCott would pull.
-

last i remember she didn't know how to use a sword properlly, and if that is her where would she get the uniform and gun?
-
Maybe she stole Alek's clothes. And she could get a gun from lots of places. Just beat some Clanker soldier up.
-
Alek or Volger could have given her the uniform and the saber, and there's probably a few air guns lying around the Leviathan. And hasn't she been taking fencing lesson from Volger?
-
And to be fair, he/she isn't holding that sword particularly well.
-
If you look closely at 'Deryn's' hair, there's something weird at the browline. Like someone is wearing a wig...
-
I HAVE A CRACK THEORY!!! (Please don't take this too seriously.)
Maybe, Alek is disguised as "Dylan" and Deryn is disguised at the girl.
-
I still think that knife in the boque (the flowers don't know how to spell that :P) is that alek has to marry her so she could get his kingdom and deryn comes to save him
-
Maybe volger is paying someone to marry deryn so alek cant
-
I still think the wedding part is a dream.
-
Alek or Volger could have given her the uniform and the saber, and there's probably a few air guns lying around the Leviathan. And hasn't she been taking fencing lesson from Volger?
thats not a compressed air gun.
and the person in the walker wasn't in it to begin with.
-
But still, she could be disguised as Alek.
-
and klopp and bauer and hoffman could be at the controls!!! *gasp* it's possible!
-
No, I still don't think it's a dream, but just a mix of two pictures. The wedding and a fight scene! I want to see them both apart and I really want to read Goliath! I need to know why the girl's nearly pulling a knife on Deryn!
-
No, I mean the wedding part is a dream.
-
No, I still don't think it's a dream, but just a mix of two pictures. The wedding and a fight scene! I want to see them both apart and I really want to read Goliath! I need to know why the girl's nearly pulling a knife on Deryn!
isn't it a knife?
and it looks like a dream to me. just the way that everyone is doing things they normally wouldn't have. like Alek being beside himself with rage, Barlow being affectionate toward Volger, Deryn marrying someone, and Volger crying. it's just not normal.
-
I almost hope that the wedding isn't a dream because that has the potential to be an awesome plot twist
-
if it's a mash-up, then the wedding scene might actually happen.
-
No, I still don't think it's a dream, but just a mix of two pictures. The wedding and a fight scene! I want to see them both apart and I really want to read Goliath! I need to know why the girl's nearly pulling a knife on Deryn!

Yeah, I meant knife. I modified it back, right after I sent it.
And I so very much hope it's a trick or dream, plot twist potential or not!
-
I believe it's a mix of more than one picture, but where did they get the picture of Lilit in that dress from? Also, that means that Alek gets very angry at some point in the book. I'm just hoping it's because he wants to save Deryn, but I don't know if that correct. Also, who would Lilit be trying to murder? (Hopefully not Alek)
-
Malone. ;D
-
Volger isn't crying, is he? I thought he was facepalming. Like. "Augh. Alek did something incredibly stupid. Again. Sigh."
-
Volger isn't crying, is he? I thought he was facepalming. Like. "Augh. Alek did something incredibly stupid. Again. Sigh."
Yeah, that's what I thought it looked like as well. I can't imagine him crying.
-
did anyone see the new pic reveal or is that what y'all are talking about?
-
Guys it is April fools. I wouldn't put it past Scott to do this...But if this is true I have to totally rethink my plot line of Goliath.
Well yes this could be a dream
1. That's not even Alek's walker
2. It has a pirate sign
3. Is Volger crying?
4. Barlow is comforting him
5. Is that girl Lilit? (long black braids)
6. Why is Lilit pulling a knife on Deryn?
7. Why is Borvil floating?
8. There are soldiers flying around in the backround?
9. Most importantly...Alek has lost it and why does he want to kill everyone????
I think this is Deryns dream in chapter 1 because she is so confused by everything that is going on. The story could open in her dream.
-
i think tht new pic is
Alek after he finds out Deryn's a girl
1 the person in the ship is wearing CLANKER uniforn
2 Alek is clanker
3 ereyn is blond and a BLONDE boy is marrying LILTH
-
Also is the person on the other side of the aisle the captain? (take a look at the sleeve)
Ps that is a glow- worm lamp...but they are clearly NOT aboard the Leviathan.
-
Question: where is the glowworm lamp?
twards the bottom of the page
-
i found it after i posted that and felt stupid :-[
-
Near Deryn's forehead, there seems to be something underneath that big chunk of hair...and it seems that the walker is under an arch stone bridge.
-
This is like one of the coolest pictures ever! Alek looks pretty formidable, and it is interesting how the boffin has her hands all over Volger. Scott is trying to feed my Varlow habit. And What's going on with Bovril?
-
Near Deryn's forehead, there seems to be something underneath that big chunk of hair...and it seems that the walker is under an arch stone bridge.
for the first part thats just how she parts her hair.
-
Why is Deryn holding a glove. Is it the bride's glove? And if she is Lilit then she must have cut her hair because Lilit's braids are longer.
-
Yeah, the background doesn't look like a typical Keith background, but it could just be an extremely shopped background from a different picture. It kinda looks like a sewer background to me for some reason. Maybe a Darwinist one because of the carvings on the walls look vine-y, like a bunch of Darwinian things.
-
go bac to the blog and scroll down if yu look at the outlines of the pics you can see that the pic 'reveal' doesnt match up with ANY of them...this is his April Fools joke
-
The background looks like a church to me. With the arches and the mosaic. I think this is definitely a wedding in a church. Not Photoshopped.
-
Scott wouldn't give us the chapter, meaning 1.) It's real and giving us the chappie would spoil (how?), or 2.) There is no chapter because it's fake. However, why would he mention the chapter number if it were fake? It's not like we were going to notice. Elaborating a lie is never good!
-
I dont think it's photoshopped...the lines blend together too well.
-
I point blank wouldn't trust anything posted on April Fools haha.
-
I dont think it's photoshopped...the lines blend together too well.
Not really. It's blurry around Deryn and Lillit, the walker, Alek and the background in general, like it's been smudged. But Keith's art is always clear and insanely detailed, so it doesn't make sense for there to be random smudgy bits, that's not what he does. You'd be surprised what photoshop can do, it's pretty crazy.
-
Yeah, I have photoshopped before and I can tell the signs. Black and white like that is easier, too, because you don't have to deal with fixing the lighting and color difference problems you get with color images. And I don't want all of the characters in that picture to be facing imminent death--that walker is not stopping anytime soon!
-
This smells of an April Fools Day prank. But, we'll see if that's true eventually.
-
I want it to be a prank, and then I think about it and I don't want it to be a prank. And then i think about it again, and I want it to be a prank again... if that makes any sense :P
I just hope that there is a copy in the book, real or not. There might be, it doesn't seem fair to show us a drawing and then never let us see it again.
I don't know what to think... ???
-
It makes absolute perfect sense.
I just looked at the drawing again and second guessed myself. There are parts that make me think that it aint PS'ed, but then now there are things that make me stop and think.
I'm lookin at this too technically. Need to look at it more like this (http://art-bandgeek.deviantart.com/#/d3d073s). Haha!
-
Clanwinist. I'm flattered your using my stamp as your icon :)
-
Really?! So cool! Youre welcome...I guess. You dont mind, do you? I really like it. :)
-
Okay, it's well into April 2nd over there. Does he at least plan to tell us if this was a joke or not? I'd really like to know! It's making my brain crazy with all this speculation going around!
-
Here's my final thoughts - and I've put a lot of pondering into this.
It's made out of two actual picture.
Picture 1: For some reason, a wedding is needed. Maybe for political pull? Of course, no one wants to actually go through with it. (Think Barlow giving away the Leviathan...) But Deryn can't do it, because she's a girl, and there's no way she's getting through all those tux fittings with no one figuring out. At this point, Alek knows, but he's got that darn famous face. So he dresses up as Deryn - it looks like he's wearing a wig, giving him two hairlines, and he's wearing the classic perplexed-alarmed expression that he has every other chapter. Not a Deryn expression, and not Deryn features either. Volger is in the background, facepalming and asking 'why'd the stupid prince do this for the Darwinists. Even he can't be THIS thick.' And Dr. Barlow's comforting him saying she has a plan and everything will be alright. However, the bride wasn't fooled by this switch, knows exactly who Alek/Deryn is, and is about to terminate him. Bovril is on the run, because he knows something's going down.
Picture 2: If you look closely at the face of the walker pilot, it's either Deryn, or Alek is the girliest looking guy since Justin Bieber. I can think of only one thing that would inspire such suicidal rage - Alek. My guess is, they were both in that epic walker - perhaps the Goliath... - and Alek got shot or otherwise injured. It looks like a walker that can fit more than two people, so perhaps Klopp or Bauer is at the controls. Meanwhile, Deryn is HELLA pissed, and grabs Alek's helmet and his sword and what my brother identified as a German pistol (notice she's holding the sword badly - Alek would do better than that) and prepares to wreak bloody vengeance on whoever hurt her crush.
Just my thoughts.
-
That was well thought out and made my day!
But I seriously hope that it's a dream. It has that quality, don't you think?
-
I showed my friend who's never read the series the picture and asked her if the person in the walker looked like a boy or a girl. Without hestitation, she said the person looked like a girl.
-
that'd be because of the obvious curve in them.
-
I showed myt friend the picture of deryn in a huxley and she was like, wow he;s hot, and I was cracking up so hard I fell off the chair :)
-
That's funny. :D
-
if only they knew!
-
Okay, it's well into April 2nd over there. Does he at least plan to tell us if this was a joke or not? I'd really like to know! It's making my brain crazy with all this speculation going around!
I agree! I can't take it. If he says nothing, can we assume it's a joke? Does he want to wait and have us bombard him with questions about this at his next meet-up? < My last thought is what I assume.
-
when is the meet-up?
-
April 9th, 8pm eastern time
-
Here's my thoughts-
1. Definitly a prank.
2. The girl in the pic doesn't look like Lilit to me. (seems like) Lilit has darker skin in Behemoth... (oh yea, there's also the part about Lilit having no reason to kill Deryn)
3. Looks like a mash between 3 pics:
* Deryn marrying a Lilit-look-alike
*Pirate walker charging
*Alek in a fighting position
I have to say though, if it was real it would be a very interesting plot twist... ;)
-
Why hallo newbie! ;D
-
Newbie hello! I love you pic and siggy!
-
Doesn't seem like an April fools to me. Scott did mention that he wasn't going to tell the chapter because it'd be too spoilery, so my thoughts are it's near the end of the book, when Alek knows Deryn's secret and has charged in to rescue her and declare his undying love. I have no clue what Deryn would be doing marrying someone (Lilit?), but there's definitely Alek yelling something like "get your hands of my girl! Oh, hey, Deryn."
But yeah, that's just my messed-up interpretation.
-
I think it's either a mash-up or a dream.
-
Hi, and thanks :D
I agree with the people who said that if it were to be an actual peice of art from the book, it would be a dream.

There is a precedent. There were some pretty awesome dream sequences in Pretties.
So there was this princess... :D

lol... :D

I remember that! and wasn't the title for the picture an Uglies reference?
-
I stayed up all night looking at that photo and iv never bloged before but i have to now because im going INSANE
-
Hi newbie! And welcome to the posting world!
-
Hello ......
I have sevral ideas i wish to express
1 maybe the groom is Jaspert ........
2if it is a mash up i think that the groom is Alek and the bride is Deryn and that for some reason thay are dressed as othe people (maybe beacaus Alek is royalty )
and they are waiting for somthing and Alek is all anxios and Deryn is ready to defend him and herself . and I say its Alek and Deryn beacus a ) I really really really want it to be and B) I HAVE COMPAIRED THE FACES TO THOSE IN THE OTHER BOOKS AND COMCLUDED THEY ARE THE SAME ! ( oh dam caps lock sorry)
3 maybe Bovril is just in mid jump .
4 I actualy think this is some sort of mash up because Keith never draws backround in most of his picture .
-
also I think its a mash up because even tho a huge stormwalker is storming through no one seems to notice it
and maybe it is Litit and shes a German spy!
-
Hey newbie! Trust me, as long as you don't mind much fangirishness and off-topicness you won't regret joining us. :D
:o OMG it could totally be Jaspert! That would make a lot of sense! And that could be Deryn crashing through the wall to save her brother from certain death at the hands of some crazy girl with Alek at the controls of some stolen pirate walker! I never thought of that, good idea. Although I don't think that Lillit is a German spy, that doesn't seem to be how she rolls. ^-^
-
OMG totally !! :o
-
she might not be a spy, but she sure looks evil with that knife. downright sinister. she is going to hurt someone with that.
-
YAAAAA IKR ;D ( also i <3 fangirlyness and offtopicness)
-
And if you look at the style of her face and her features, she's without a doubt Lillit.
-
Well I dont know ...... I think could be Deryn or Lilit ? ??? ?????? UGGGGG this driving me crazy ! :o
-
Maybe the knife's meant for someone else? She could be looking over the grooms head.
YAAAAA IKR ;D ( also i <3 fangirlyness and offtopicness)
You're one of us... >:D
-
;) :D
-
Yeah so I heard somwhere that Scott was going to bring back Jaspert ( Deryn's brother ) :D
-
I'm not sure if that girl could be Deryn..............it doesn't really look like her. Plus she has dark braids. Deryn has blond hair.
-
maybe she's wearing a wig .... its probably Lilit though
-
yeah, Deryn doesn't do expressions like that.
-
Maybe Lilit marrys Jaspert ! :o :o :o :o :o!!!!!
-
or maybe its Alek in drag :o :o :o :o :o :o :o JK
-
in any situation, awesome plot twist!
unless it's a dream........
-
:D :-\
-
Still, that's one awesome dream. :P
-
i think if it's anyone's dream, it's Deryn's. I mean, Alek is coming to save her, she marrying Lillit, Varlow is acting weird, and so on so forth.
-
I showed myt friend the picture of deryn in a huxley and she was like, wow he;s hot, and I was cracking up so hard I fell off the chair :)
Haha! I showed my friend the one of Lilit kissing Deryn and she said "That's how YOUR first kiss is gonna go!" And I was just sitting there like 'O.O I hope not...'
Sorry for old post resurrection. I couldn't resist.

Wow. that's awkward!
Sad part is, one time I did mistake a girl for a boy. It was extremely awkward. EXTREMELY. And I never think anything's awkward!
-
there is this girl in my grade, and she's a total tomboy. in elementary school, she even cut her hair like a boy and wore boy clothes. So I actually thought that she was male. I was talking to my friend this one day and mention her, or him as I said, and my friend was like, Um, she's a girl. It's embarrassing!
-
So back in middle school, we got this new student named Bobby, and I thought he was cute, so I then went and told my friend about him, and she gives me this horrified look and says "Bobby's a girl!" It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
-
LOL!
-
And to make matters worse, that was about the same time people started spreading rumors that I was a lesbian (And nobody even knew about the whole incident except my friend). -_-' Those rumors are still going around, but by now, I really don't care.
-
Wow. tough luck on that.
-
Ah, I don't really care anymore. :D I think it's kinda funny, actually.
-
That really sucks. Kudos for not caring what they think, if people are going to be a$$es like that who needs 'em right?
-
Right. And besides, I got bigger things to worry about, like grades and stuff like that.
-
kudos!
-
Now THAT Alek, is what I call "Rudely barging in on a white-veil occasion"! Fail, I'm quoting T-Swift XD
-
haha!
-
sniff sniff, I was just so excited (if a little bit confused), I didn't stop to think it was an april fools joke... but now I'm pretty sure it is.
-
I'm going with... wait for it... dream/photoshop! The top part of the pictures is a totally plausible thing. That could totally come from a part in the book.
But the bottom? It has to be a dream (I'm guessing Deryn's). Because I don't really see Barlow and Volger acting that way, Deryn would never agree to marry a girl, and Bovril as the ringbearer? Cute but totally cheesy. It's not really a cheesy series.
So anyway, Scott better clear this up soon. It's already April 2 here in the states and in my time zone we're only an hour away from April 3. If some explaining doesn't get done soon, my brain really will explode.
-
This must be real. Scott is incredibly creative. This cannot be a dream, it can't be! If it is, I will be seriously ticked.
-
I think it is real but it's just 4 or 5 pictures from the book put together (pay attention to the haze)
Layers:
1. The wedding (clearly aboard the Leviathan- Glowworms)
2. Sormwalker and the soldiers
3. The boards (?- I noticed that they weren't that detailed)
4. Alek (if you look, the haze cuts his body off before it meets the walker's hatch)
5. The background (I'm pretty sure if Alek crashed a wedding in a walker, there would have to be some pretty big doors if he didn't end up breaking the wall down)
-
So here are some of my theories from each picture.
1. Deryn has to marry Lilit (for any of the interchangable reasons we've come up with) and it was all going according to plan until Alek barged in and said Deryns a girl (Deryn's "don't turn around, don't turn around look/Volger's facepalm "Alek's an idiot..."). I don't know why the girl (I think it's Lilit) is pulling the knife. Maybe they were going to fake Deryn's death so she wouldn't have to reveal her secret or something, and Alek thinks Lilit is actually trying to kill her so he barges in. Or maybe he knows Deryn's secret and he falls in love with her and he stands up at the "speak now or forever hold your peace" part...ugh so many possibilities! But I'm pretty sure it has to do with Alek making a spectacle of himself.
Anyways, whatever is happening in that one, it's definitely going according to Dr. Barlow's plan...
2. Some random battle with pirates(YES! :D) that is awesomely epic! Maybe they want Alek as a hostage or something...
3. Something got destroyed...duh.
4. Alek being awesomely epic in a battle! But he seems really peeved, so maybe Deryn or one of his men got really hurt? Maybe Volger died or something (I hate myself for saying that's possible). I've also acknowledged the comments on the fact that Alek looks a lot like Deryn in that picture. That person is also carrying a WWI German standard army-issue pistol. If that's Deryn my guess is they are in Germany/ in battle with the Germans ('cause Alek has an Austrian pistol (check the Leviathan Illustration "struggle on the ice") That's the only way they could've picked one up) and she is disguised as Alek and acting as a decoy so Alek can escape, doe something, ect. Wait a second..that's not Alek's uniform!!!! It's a German one! Maybe Deryn/ Alek is undercover in the German Army! (secret agent music starts playing)
Oh my god, maybe that's what the wedding is about! They want to fake Deryns death so she can go undercover!
...nah too complicated.
5. Idk about the background, but it looks fancy smancy. The walls are papered so it can't be a church...a palace maybe?
-
Yep I checked it, whoever that is, Alek or Deryn, they are dressed as a German officer, holding a German gun, with a calvary sword!
If you haven't noticed, that sword is definitely NOT a fencing saber.
1. The hilt is different
2. It's sharp. I mean reeeaaaal sharp.
-
PS Borvil looks like he's running away...and he's the ring bearer. Ideas anyone?
-

I know I'm quoting from my own post but I was looking at some images from Behemoth...
That sword, is Volger's sword.
Is Alek avenging his death?
PS look at the image "A Stand" in Behemoth.

But "Alek" looks too much like a girl to be Alek. I think it's Deryn.
-
but it seems like whoever is standing next to 'Lilit' looks way too much like a girl to be a guy/alek
-
I think they're both Deryn. The two scenes have to be from different picutres, so it's possible.
-
that would make more sense..
-
It's true - the person in the walker, whoever it is, doesn't belong in the pirate walker. Which is sad, becasue he/she now only has two lethal weapons.
It's been pointed out that it's Volger's sword, plus a German pistol and uniform. Maybe Volger got killed, and the person (who could honestly be either Deryn or Alek, they both look femenine) is out for revenge. I can see it now.
German soldier: Hahah! I have killed the annoying man with the mustache!
Deryn: Bad idea. Alek's going to be pissed.
German soldier: I'm not afraid of a scrawny little boy who... *stops as ominous noises come through door*
ALek: *bursts in screaming bloody murder with Volger's sword and a Mauser pistol*
Deryn: Told you.

Hey, I had to create a new name, (I'm leviathanseries), because my other account is having problems... does anyone know what this error message means when it comes up after typing in your user name and password: "Your account is still awaiting admin approval."
Thanks! :) I've never had this problem before, but if all else fails, this will be my new account nowadays.
-
And now everything's just getting weird. Sorry for clogging up the message boards guys!
-
Sorry to intrude the wierd "being verified by an admin "thing happend to me to !!!! anyways I know i alriedy said this but really think the boy might be Jaspert ;)
-
Yeah, that happened to everyone. It's like everyone's acounts have been disabled. :'(
-
OMG :o :o :o :o Did you see it did you IT WAS AN APRIL FOOLS DAY PRANK JUST GO LOOK AT THE PICTURE !!!!! LARY HAS A MUSTACH !!! ??? :o :o! *SPAZING OUT ~~* :o :o ;D
-
LARRY HAS A MOUSTACE!!! Maybe he shaved it off Volger and glued it to himself!! :P
-
I guess this problem's being worked on... that's a good thing! I'm actually kind of glad that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
Anyway, a loris in a moustache! Awesome! A little Volger copycat I guess! :) I'm personally relieved it was a joke, and I'm glad it's Lilit. Though must say, I hope Deryn really was photoshopped in! I like the Lilit marrying Jaspert kind of idea! :)
-
Loris mustaches.
Also, I think that Scott should listen to our pleas and put Alek in a dress. ;D
-
ALEK IN A DRESS FOREVER!!! :o
-
Woo!! That would be slightly interesting.....LOL
Now Im wondering why Lilit has a knife out........
-
Do y'all think that loris was Borvil or Larry?
-
Larry, I think. Bovril has light fur and darker spots. The other loris is darker looking, at least in the one picture we have of it.
I have also been considering the old April fool's picture some more. I am definitely thinking more and more that Deryn is actually just walking Lilit down the aisle to meet an unseen groom whom she plans to use her knife on (and who is the focus of Deryn's wary glance). Also, I wonder if Keith has started working on the art book that comes out next year... some of the pictures could possibly be from that too, if that is the case....
And, I am very glad that the forum problem is now fixed. ;D I decided to wait it out rather than make a new account.
-
Dude, it's obviously Larry. Bovril is lighter with dark stripes.
-
Why would Larry imitate Volger? Volger hates all furry, adorable life. I can see Borvil doing that, because Alek likes Volger, but Larry?
Could be... That picture blew my brain. After a few minutes, I just couldn't think about it anymore. Too much... Too many possibilities... I mean, heck, there could be like three plus real pictures in that one image. Those three plus could all be from different chapters and places... They may not relate at all. Or maybe they do. It's just too much for my tiny brain to comprehend.
-
finally got "Admin approval"
:P
I love the 'stache
-
Yay! The forum is working again.
Why would Larry imitate Volger? Volger hates all furry, adorable life. I can see Borvil doing that, because Alek likes Volger, but Larry?
Dr. Barlow also likes Volger! (I do not care what Scott says!) ;)
On a more serious, non-fangirl shipping note. The Loris looks as if he is thinking critically, almost like a human. Maybe the Loris can display human reasoning.
-
I think "Larry" has human reason too! And the moustache looks about 100% Volger! I love it, and I feel relieved that that last picture was a joke. :)
-
It looks like he is stroking his mustashe thoughtfully. . . Like he is planning something evil. ;D
-
I think the lorises (Lorii??) will be getting smarter in the next book, definitely. Probably displaying more intelligence than Dr. Barlow planned. XD
-
YES! BOVRILxVOLGER'S MOUSTACHE IS NOW CANNON! ...sorta...
-
OR OR OR, maybe Volger turns into a loris! :o :P
-
lol :)
-
Because he is secretly a... WERE LORIS!!!!
-
DUM DUM DUUUUUUM!!!
-
LOL!
Since Bovril was with Alek and Deryn, the other loris (Larry) was with Volger and Barlow. So he would obviously bond with them, and get his ideas off of them too.
(oh it's good to be back! i waited it out too.)
-
thus the mustache lol. Any loris with a mustache is good with me :D
-
both of these pictures are relatively unbelievable.
-
thus goliath will have to be unbelivable as well ;) I'm expecting blow-my-mind awesome
-
If it's anything less, we will all be pissed. We can't put our expectations too high or we might get disappointed. Remember Mockingjay?
-

How can Goliath be any less than epic?
-
I'm just saying.
-
The Leviathan series has seriously set the bar. Like, if I don’t like a book within the first four pages I am going to be disappointed.
-
Exactly.
-

I felt that way with Graceling by Kathrine Cashore, but I ended up loving the book. O.o
....It may have been the same with Leviathan too....but it got interesting really fast. After all, what's not to love about a book with a heroine cross-dressing to join the air navy....?
-
It got interesting for me when Alek was 'kidnapped'. So, the first five pages.
-

Same here.
-
To me, Behemoth got started a little slower.
-

Yeah, it was pretty exiting right off the bat. It's ruined me for slower-moving books. :P
-
Haha. I chuckled a bit when he stopped breathing. Even I, with no survival training besides open fire cooking, would know not to do that if there were unknown men in my room.
But nya. I loved it after the first few chapters. The only thing I've drawn since reading the books have been Leviathan inspired or fanart....
To me, Behemoth got started a little slower.
That it did. Although it was amusing none the less....
-
To me, Behemoth got started a little slower.
Yeah, maybe because it went through the whole "reintroduction" phase.
-
Yes, but we already knew from Leviathan that we were in for awesomeness, so it didn't really matter if it started slowly. :D
-
Agreed. Any sequels (Book-wise) are bound to be as awesome as the first....except Twilight. Those actually got worse as they went.....*cough*
-
Yes, but we already knew from Leviathan that we were in for awesomeness, so it didn't really matter if it started slowly. :D
Yeah, we were all just wanting some mushy Alek/Deryn stuff, which occurs in the first chapter. Then it gets exciting.
Every time I re-read Behemoth I am always surprised at how what I think of as the "second" half of the book is only the last quarter of the book. Deryn doesn't meet up with Alek in Istanbul until well past the halfway point of the novel. I wonder if that was Scott's original plan, but things shifted as he wrote out the beginning with too much detail. Because I definitely feel that there were supposed to be more scenes about the Commitee and Zaven.
-
I think that second books can bear to be a little slower than the first, since we're all hyped up on the awesomeness of the first one.
-
Goliath had better be pretty awesome. or i might cry in sadness. :'( to me though, i would be even more excited if it had a happy ending. . . but looking at his other books, he doesn't seem to do that to much. . . so I hope he changes this trend with goliath.
-
I think it will have a happy ending, if only for the reason that it is based on the genre of boys adventure stories, which always have a happy ending. Alek will just be kind of upset at not getting what he wants, but then he'll realize, as the Rolling Stones so eloquently put it, "You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need." XD
-
perfect, perfect quote :)
-
To me, Behemoth got started a little slower.
I don't know, I thought Leviathan was slower, if only because in Behemoth there was more Deryn and Alek in the beginning. The middle was the slow part for me, I utterly hate when they're split up!
-
YES! BOVRILxVOLGER'S MOUSTACHE IS NOW CANNON! ...sorta...
*waves flag of celebration* It was always one of my favorite pairings.
-
Just going back to the picture.
I'm pretty sure it's Larry, it's a great pic haha. The loris' mimic people, maybe the older they grow the more they mimic a specific person both verbally AND physical, perhaps Larry has for some reason to choose Volger as his life's mimic.
-
That would be extremely interesting. I really would like to know that reason...
If Larry was doing that to communicate, he would just say "Volger". Therefore, his motivation is a mystery to me.
-
LOL
;D
-
All I can glean is that Larry is cute with a mighty high attitude. XD
-
All of the classy and sophisticated Loris are wearing mustaches these days.
-
Totally. They're all the rage now.
Gahl. I REALLY want an explanation as to that....
What do y'all think [the] Goliath is?
-
A landship of some kind. Maybe German, or Austrian.
-
Thats what I was thinkin. Cause thay already have a water and air....why not complete the set. LOL
-
That is the general opinion, from what i get
-
If Larry is imitating Volger, then maybe Bovril will start imitating Deryn. That could be bad for her :-)
-
Yes, very bad indeed... but I would absolutely love to see Bovril say, "Barking spiders!" :D
-
Or act somewhat effeminiatly to try and get it through his owner's thick skull that Deryn is a girl. That would be kind of distrurbing. :D
-
do a little hip shake Bovril!
-
If Deryn starts shaking her hips I am pretty sure the gig is up.
-
Yes and doing her nails
-
Didn't something like that happen in She's the Man?
-
I can't remember, it's been a while since I've seen that movie. But it was a fun one!
-
Oh, I love that movie! (wasn't it based on that Shakespeare play? that's what I remember)
-
It was based off of Twelfth Night. It was a really good movie. I watched it with my mom, it's been a while though.
-
there are certain similarities. ;)
-
If Larry is imitating Volger, then maybe Bovril will start imitating Deryn. That could be bad for her :-)
Unlikely, but perhaps the loris simply attatched to both Volger and Barlow. Like Alek and Deryn. I don't know though, I can't really see them as a couple.
-

*Le gasp* How could you not?!
-
They are both manipulative (in a good way) and both kinda have a kid under their charge (volger=alex, barlow=deryn)
-
I don't think Varlow would happen because Dr. Barlow is married (Barlow is not her maiden name people). So unless Scott comes up with a back story that her husband died or something (which I think he lived until the 1960s or so) I don't think it will happen. But... you never know in the World of Westerfeld.
-
Who is her husband then?
-
I don't know anything about him other than his last name is Barlow.
-
Alan Barlow was his name. But I can't let go of Varlow. Even if she is married.
-
Yes! VARLOW FOREVER!! NO LEGAL MARRIAGE WILL TEAR THEM APART!!! >O<
-
So you want her to cheat on her legal husband so she can throw away her life with a Clanker Count who no longer has any money or land to his name? Sounds good to me.
-
....... Shut it with your logic! :P
-
heehee!
-
I think getting alek and deryn AND volger and barlow together would be asking to much. but we can dream. :P
-
We'll be lucky if Alek and Deryn get together.
-
No! Don't say that! D:
-
clanker + darwinist.. :D
-
clanker + darwinist.. :D
That works for Alek/Deryn & Varlow.
How do you think Alek and Deryn would react to their adults getting together?
-
lol, "their" adults. ;D
-
elope to america and live a long happy life together..
-
elope to america and live a long happy life together..
That's exactly what would happen
-
Scott says she's married!
-
clanker + darwinist.. :D
That works for Alek/Deryn & Varlow.
How do you think Alek and Deryn would react to their adults getting together?
Unparalleled disgust and surprise? "...Who would love YOU?" *sputter sputter*
I don't really care if she's married. Doesn't make a difference to me. Just adds a little... Complication. Complication AKA drama AKA plot.
Their adults. ;D How cute!
-
I was trying to find a name for alek/Deryn shipings and if you r a dr who fan youll understyan : DALEK !!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o
-
clanker + darwinist..
= <3
-
Unlikely, but perhaps the loris simply attatched to both Volger and Barlow. Like Alek and Deryn. I don't know though, I can't really see them as a couple.
*Le gasp* How could you not?!
Well, age differences by about 20 years, Barlow is married, and they're too alike to get along! (In my opinion, I know I'm outnumbered on here on this topic).
-
^^
Logic should be banned from this topic. ;)
-
and if we're going by the actual Dr. Barlow, she's also pregnant ;D
-
I can't decide if it would be weird or awesome if she were pregnant in the actual book. 0.o
-
It would definitely be awkward... :)
-
^^
Logic should be banned from this topic. ;)
LOL

I apologize. I shall argue no more. I have hopes for the book also, unlikely ones too.

Darn. There goes about a third of my posts. I like to crush the dreams of all shippers. Except for AlekxDeryn. They were meant to be together.
-
LOL, dream crushers have their places too! We just like our foolish flights of fancy. :D
-

Heck yeah they were! LOL Gahl! Cant wait til Goliath! Then we'll know!
-
92% chance at happiness. 8% of severe depression. that is basically what scott said. yay, but that 8% still worries me.
-
I hope we experience moderate depression with an open ending that allows us good fanfics.
-
92% is a pretty high chance, though, so I'm quite optimistic. ;D I guess someone may die making it 8% sad... anyway, you wouldn't get too depressed if someone told you that you had a 92% chance of survival if you were sick.
-
True. . . but still, wouldn't that 8% still worry you?
-
Well, of course, which is why I said you wouldn't be "too" worried. :)
-
alek+deryn MUST HAPPEN!! its like the best romance of the previous century!!
-
alek+deryn MUST HAPPEN!! its like the best romance of the previous century!!
YES!!! tho they will never beat out RonxHermione, they are a close second!
-

I'm hoping the 8% he was refering to is for those people who want Alek and Deryn to die and hate the thought of them as a couple. I'm hoping the "depression" will not be for the Alek/Deryn people, but for the antiAlek/Deryn people.
-
I'm not gonna get my hopes up on them actually ending up together, but I don't wanna see some romance on both sides.
... if that makes any sense.
-
I think it makes sence...
Clarification: Did you mean I Do want to see some romance on both sides?
Or I want Deryn to fall hopelessly in love with him, he falls in love, then she hates him, then he hates her, then she falls in love, he begins to like her, he does something Alek-ish... And so on? But I understood you.
-
The 8% the 8% the 8%... oh it's killing me!
and the name Larry is better than Vegemite. and I remember that guy named Larry in Scott's linen closet!
-
I think it makes sence...

Yeah, I wanna see romance on both sides. I keep getting the feeling the might have to part ways at the end, but even if they can't get together I still wanna see some romance.

Yeah, I wanna see romance on both sides. I keep getting the feeling the might have to part ways at the end, but even if they can't get together I still wanna see some romance.
Exactly! I want this to. I've always wanted this for everything I've shipping, but can never find words to express. Actual "got together" romance isn't my thing.
-
I'm a sucker for happy endings.
-
lol who isn't
-
*raises hand* ::)
-
Im hoping that 8% is shot at the lamebrains.
-
alek+deryn MUST HAPPEN!! its like the best romance of the previous century!!
YES!!! tho they will never beat out RonxHermione, they are a close second!
that is this century though. they said LAST century. ;)
I also love happy endings. (Unless it is action movies. then I dont care)

just sayin..hp came out in the 90's or so...so it technically is last century
-
They STARTED in the 90's.Ron and Hermoine (?) started dating in this century.
-
Are we really having this conversation?
HPF doesn't like happy endings either.
-
technically, Harry Potter spans from 1992-1997 (or something like that). So that would be last century.
-
Hey, 1997 is my birth year!
-
Hatty Potter conversations on a Leviathan thread. XD
-
I relate Harry Potter to everything in my life...it's actually quite sad. over obsessive fan girl? rite here!
-
Eh. but it was PUBLISHED in this century and- oh never mind. :P
-
Eh. but it was PUBLISHED in this century and- oh never mind. :P
let's just agree it's awesome...no matter wen it was published. :D
So about that picture...
-
Just agree to disagree.
The picture is awesome. Someone change Volger into a Loris
-
I think that the Larry is just imitating Volger. I want to know why!
-
How did he get the mustache?
-
could it be fake?
-
It could be anyones, really, if someone was dressing up for a disguise, and the little loris picks it up and starts imitating Volger.
That's my interpretation, anyway...
-
I just want the backstory.
-
Hey, 1997 is my birth year!
Oh God don't say that! That makes me feel OLD!
-
How did he get the mustache?
He stoles it!
-
Hey, 1997 is my birth year!
Oh God don't say that! That makes me feel OLD!
I'm 13, going to be 14 this year.

I was born in 1985 :(

S'okay, some guy asked me today if I was the same age as my little sister. O_o
-
Dang. Y'all are all so young.
-
Well, im sure there are probably younger people on here. . . . i mean, if you were born in 2000 you would be 11. . . . and it would be possible for them to be on. . . .
-
From now on, I'm going to be in college. even if I'm really 13.
-
same here (my age is over fourteen and under 20)
-
I don't think that you can really accurately tell what age someone is on here.
-
very true. there is no way to know for sure.
-
I was born in 1985 :(
That is the same year Back to the Future is set. I love those movies.
Hear, hear!! ;D
Wait, what is this forum topic about again?
-
sooooooooo. . . . what about those goliath pictures, aye?
-
*acts all sophisticated and on-topic* Yes. they were lovely.
-
Only about sixteen days until the next pictures. ;D
-
I love Larry with the mustache. Me and one of my students geeked out over it!
-
Haha.
-
Only about sixteen days until the next pictures. ;D
Wow, is it that soon already?! I feel like the April Fool's picture just came out yesterday! Ahh! I'm so excited! ;D
-
Well, it probably feels that way because it came a bit late. . .
-
wheres the pics? ???
-
On the westerblog.
-
Just type "westerblog" into a search engine and you will find his blog. you will have to scroll down a bit to get to the pictures though.
-
i really can't wait for the next one!
-
Soon enough! :) 15 days left.
-
Yes.
-
Woo! It's almost here :D
I hang each art reveal on my wall, for a bit of personal inspiration.
And so I can just stare and Alek and Deryn as muuuuuch as I want to. I really advise it...
-
Haha.
-
So cool 8) ( I love doing that. )
-
I got two copies of Leviathan, so I took the crap copy, an ARC my mom brought home (she works at a bookstore) who's pages sometimes fell out when you turned the page, and cut all the illustrations and a few quotes from it. A few of them are in my locker, but most are on my wall. This summer Imma take down a few of my other posters and make collage-thing with all the pictures. :D
-
LUCKY! oh the joy imagine if your father was your favourite book author DREAM COME TRUE!!
-
That would be AWESOME! I'd probably die from happy overload.
-
Exactly like a computer eh? :D ;D
-
Well, I guess this is the place to talk about the world cloud (http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Goliath-Word-cloud-bowdlerized.jpg) for Goliath Scott has just posted.
Someone pointed out that Deryn is big and Dylan is small. ;D And "lady," "miss" and "girl."
"York" so I guess they will be going to New York. And Eddie Malone is pretty big. ;D Also, I love how "end" and "message" are beside each other. I wish "last" wasn't so big! Well, at least "hand" "face" and "eyes" are there, you know what that means. ;)
Gosh, I wanna know what the spoiler was! >:(
-
I like to think that "kissed" could be the missing word. But that's just me getting my hopes up ;D
Also there is no "Tazza" "Goliath" or "Japan".... :-\
I'm curious about "Rogers" and "Hearst". I'm almost sure "Hearst" is a publisher.... I also noticed how "Dylan" is not so big; and the words "Miss" and "girl" get me excited ;D
Oh! And "Two" is rather large....
-
okay...
-
Wait wait what are you guys talking about??
-
The word cloud, it's linked on my post.
Yes, I noticed the no Japan thing too. I take it this means they won't stay long there. Istanbul is on there, but not Japan??
I do wonder who Rogers and Hearst are... new characters, yes. :) But confusing because Hurst is on the Leviathan. And "two," I hadn't noticed two. ;D Still, there's also "never" and "last" :(
The missing word is probably one of three things. Action (like kissing, but probably not), the name of some new creature, or the name of some new character (probably historical because we would then know who they are--and he did say an historical person would appear).
-
I don't even want to think about the words "never" and "last" :(
And I just realized that "Dr." is bigger then "Barlow". I would've thought that those would be the same size. Perhaps we'll meet another "Dr."?
Also, the words "look" "good" "loris" together made me giggle. But alas, no mention of "mustache" ;)
-
There were so many words on it. I can't look at random placings of letterings like that. They give me headaches!
-
I'm sticking with the notion that the missing spoiler world was either "love" "forever" (if that wasn't already on there..i didn't get a chance to look all the way through) or "wedding." Definate wishful thinking on my part, but hey! One can dream, can't they?
-
wouldn't be america is you couldn't .
sorry if you don't live here, but it's something me and my friends say a lot!
-
And I just realized that "Dr." is bigger then "Barlow". I would've thought that those would be the same size. Perhaps we'll meet another "Dr."?
That's a really good observation! :D
I'd love to know the actual word!
-
sooo maaaany...
-
Ah!!! amazing Leviathan word cloud!!
-
IKR!
-
So, how many more days until the next reveal again?
-
I believe it's gonna be this weekend! :D
-
Whoo!
-
Huzzah!!
-
New pic reveal this SUNDAY!
-
Well that just made my weekend 50% better.
-
naah 46 percent here ::)
-
49% for me!!!!
-
My weekend was going to be crappy anyways.
-
Why??
-
Nothing planned, gonna be boring.
-
I have too much planned. I might not even have access to a computer when the picture comes out! D:
-
Im just exited!!
-
I have too much planned. I might not even have access to a computer when the picture comes out! D:
Ouch!
-
About Crashing a Bash, I was wondering...
If the book in the front is a Bible, and the lamp a Darwinist lamp...does that mean they're in a Darwinist church? Isn't that a tad redundant? Ungodly Darwinists... ???
-
Not necessarily. I know a lot of Christians who are also evolutionists. Besides, if everyone is Darwinist then there's sure to be some overlap.
-
Keith is selling the April Fools joke on his website, as an artist, I know I would never ever ever sell a thrown together, mutilated and photshopped piece of my art, so I'm pretty sure the entire picture is bogus.
Also, I really want it.
-
Ahaha. Same here.
-
It's almost 1 pm over there in Sydney.... Come on Scott, release the picture in less than 4 hours! Pretty pweeeaase!! (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/311/9/d/_please__by_KimRaiFan.gif)
-
....But this isnt the first friday of the month.....
-
So? The pictures are released on the first of the month, whatever day that happens to land on.
At least, I hope so....
-
Yes, the first of every month. I can't wait to see what he reveals! Eeep! I'm so excited! ;D ;D
-
Ah. Yeah. That's true. Gahl. Im so confused now. Hate months. XD
-
Will this picture be posted on the Westerblog? If not, where?
-
Yes, it'll be on his blog. And then we'll speculate like crazy about it ;D
-
Ah, the Westerblog, the land where dreams of slight spolery come true! :P
-
OOOOHHH, speculation!
(As a semi-artist, I could help with that...)
-
Even though Im somewhat of an artist, I just have fangasms over Keiths art, so I wont be much help. XD
-
I know what you mean, it'll take a few minutes at least for me to get over the fact that it's gorgeous for me to be of any assistance in the speculation category. ::)
-
I know right?
-
Did any of you gawk at Keith's compositions until you started drooling on the pages...?
(Guilty...the guy's eye for detail is incredible! I mean, he created the affect of showing tendons and ligaments in Deryn's hand...with shadowing!! I didn't even think that was possible!!!
-If you're wondering which picture I'm blathering about, it's the one where it looks like she's going to punch Alek, check the fist, and look closely.)
-
I know! That's why I love Keith so much! His eye for detail makes everything just gorgeous!
-
I need to hang out with him.....
-
Oh, just imagine a day with Keith. *drifts off into an amazing daydream....*
-

Not with that picture, but there was this picture in another book he illustrated, it mostly consisted of a giant bird thing, and that was detailed enough, but then I looked closer and saw that in the trees above the bird were a bunch of little bats! And they were incredibly detailed, but they were only about the size of my thumbnail! That's one of the best things about his art, you can look at it a hundred times and still see something new every time.

His artwork is what made me read the book in the first place. I wasn't sure, and then I flipped it open and saw his artwork, and that was that.
-
IT'S MAY FIRST! :D
-
IT'S MAY FIRST! :D
I know! I can't wait for him to post!!!!!

Ditto~

He really needs to get better at being on time. Especially after that fake one last month. Come on Scott! Post the darn thing already!
-
This is killing me... when I got back from church, I expected it to be here!
-
He really needs to get better at being on time. Especially after that fake one last month. Come on Scott! Post the darn thing already!
I know right?
-
I wonder if he knows how impatient we all are?
-
if he doesn't now he may find out soon
-
I wonder if he knows how impatient we all are?
probably not...
-
I bet he'll post it this evening.
-
Hopefully...
-
I mean, he usually does. Maybe he has that disease that makes you sleep late! I have that disease! (that's what I tell everyone, so they know it's not really my fault that I love to sleep!)
-
Well, it is the middle of the night in Australia. But that means he should have posted it yesterday because it's May 2nd over there now. Hopefully tonight, when it's morning there, he will post it

Good point! Time differences are so annoying.

maby he has a hard time with time diffrinces :P

-
Maybe Keith Thomson's hanging on to it for dear life screaming "NOOO! Not This One!!"
-
I just imagined them fighting over a picture^^
But I hope that picture will be up soon. It will make me even more impatient until Goliath come out, but I need this picture right now.... *being excited*
-
I can't wait for it to come out! Especially because I'm going out tonight, so I want it to come out before I go. Please Scott? *puppy dog eyes*
-
Have you guys noticed if you go to Keith's site here: http://www.keiththompsonart.com/goliathbook.html
there are all those empty spaces for not-yet-released art. I want to hack those. Soooooo badly.
-
he'll probably put it up soon. . . hopefully
-

Aye, I'll probably join you...
-
anyone on here good at hacking? I just think it's funny that he put the April Fools one up.
-
It's 8:25 am in Australia. Do you know where Scott's art reveal is? ;D
-
I asked that too...
I believe it's on the blog...
But don't take my word for it...
-
I can't find it there.... >:(
-
I've had the westerblog up on a seperate tab all day long... >:(
-
Me too. I trying to still my mind by re-analyzing his old pictures, but it's not working.
-
Me too. I trying to still my mind by re-analyzing his old pictures, but it's not working.
ARGH!!! He better post it soon! I'm really impatient!
-
OMG!!!!!!!!! its already 5:22 and the pics still not there!
-
OMG!!!!!!!!! its already 5:22 and the pics still not there!
I know!!!! It's 8: 25 over here....
-
I really, really hope he reveals it within the next two hours....
-
Aye...
-
he probably will :-\
-
I sure hope he does... :o
-
It's now 8:45 Midwest US time, and still, no picture!
-
It's about 11:45 over there; I'm hoping he will post around noon-ish.
-
He's cuttin' it pretty close.
-
Blegh. It's LATE where I am. That's it. I'm going to bed. And it had better bloody be there in the morning.
-
Exactly what I was thinking. I'll just have to check in first period tomorrow, and if it's not there I will be very angry. >:(
-
It's about 9:30 pm where I live. I think I'll wait a few more hours. It better be up soon.
-
its 8:03 where i am right now and i am freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what if he posts it at 11:59?
-
Scott is making Portal references on Twitter.
Anyone with an account wanna give him a reminder?
-
9:10 pm Pacific -8000 (Whatever) time
-
Scott is making Portal references on Twitter.
Anyone with an account wanna give him a reminder?
I was gonna say something similar to that. I don't have a twitter account though (but I'm considering making one just for the sake of reminding/yelling at him to release the picture) >:(
Where's our barking picture, Scott?!
-
Scott has delayed it for a couple of days
-
And if anyone wants to complain about it after reading his reason, they have to go through me first, m'kay?
I completely understand Scott's reasoning and I think we should all just sit patient until he's ready.
-
yerp
-
Why isn't he releasing it yet?
-
It's on his blog.
http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/2011/05/may-1-art-released-delayed/
Which I can definitely understand. Scott is forgiven. :)
-
Conveniently he was sort of going to be late already.
-
It's on his blog.
http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/2011/05/may-1-art-released-delayed/
Which I can definitely understand. Scott is forgiven. :)
Ditto...a friend of my friend's was killed in that, she was four . :'(
Hope you guys don't think we're really rude for celebrating or anything.
Still can't wait for that picture, though.
-
Some kids in my school were telling us off about celebrating someone's death. I then reminded them what Bin Laden did. It's not really celebrating, I guess, at least in my mind. It's kind of relief. It's all over now.
-
I get it, but I think celebrating is kind of wrong. In my belief, it's sort of mean to celebrate anyone's death. :-\
-
The picture is up! It's the chapter three one from when we had to vote for the reveal. Pretty cool! I think Deryn is the one on the bottom.
-
boo hoo :P
-
I think we deserve a second picture. One that's a bit more spoilery :D
-
yes!!!!
-
Aha. That's one of the pictures he had edited out and had us all vote on which one we wanted to see.
-
Still, it is nice. I don't think we missed anything by not voting for it, though. XD
One of them is probably Deryn, but I guess it's impossible to say for sure. The person on the bottom is more Deryn-shaped, and the illustration is called, "hooking the package," which is what that person is doing. Interesting Siberian (?) headwear on the bear's riders... And we already sort-of knew that those were the bears mentioned in the Kirkus review...
-
Yup. I've been staring at it for a while looking for anything that might give us clues.
'Hooking the package' seems more up Deryns alley, but I wonder what the package is and who is wearing the kite.
-
Could either be Deryn and Newkirk doing this. Or Deryn and some random airman. Holy cow, thats a big bear! X3
-
The new picture looks so awesome! It's proof of the epic action that will be in Goliath. :D
-
I get it, but I think celebrating is kind of wrong. In my belief, it's sort of mean to celebrate anyone's death. :-\
I agree, sorta. I'm not really out on the streets cheering, and I'm not proud that we had to kill someone. I'm happy for the families who have lost loved ones in 9/11 and have finally gained closure. And if I had lost a loved one, I don't think I can guarantee that I wouldn't be out on the streets cheering. I was kinda saying that about my nation as a whole, not just me ('cause theere are people here from eveyrwhere!)
On a happier note, I'm glad the picture was finally released! It looks like Deryn on the bottom there. Wonder why Alek is involved in a Darwinist mission?
-
Are you sure he is? WE can't see faces - he might be sitting inside somewhere warm, drinking tea. That's more his style. And I can't remember - is he officially a prisoner? Because if so, he might be shut up somewhere.
-
I think that's definantly a Russian fighting bear. The hats thoes guys are wearing are very Russian. :P And did anyone else notice the thing sticking up from the bears back that looks like a perfect fit for the hook being held by the swinging person? I bet that's the package, whatever the package is.
-
I doubt the Darwinist trust the Clankers enough to let them help them on a mission such as this. All Alek has ever done is help them, and they still treat him like a criminal. A reoccurring theme in this series.
Also, both uniforms are Darwinist.
-
Yeah, that's probably Newkirk, or Rigby, or some other character and not Alek.
This picture just gives us more questions than answers. What's in this "package" anyway??
-

Right....it was 6 in the morning when I typed this (gotta get up way early for school), and I wasn't really thinking staright. I got to school and I was like *facepalm* there' s no way that's Alek. Probably Newkirk...
-
the package could be a tesla cannon. or is it too small?
-
Too small. Hmmmm... Could this be connected to the message the got via two-headed-eagle? They are only a chapter apart.
-
probably.
-
I like the pic! I think that whoever that's on the helecopter thingy might be Newkirk, the one that's being held up by the person on the helicopter thingy is Deryn. is that a Russian dude on the back of that bear?
-
I'm guessing that the package is Tesla' death ray (he built one of those in real life). There was a synopsis somewhere that mentioned a weapon that would destroy half the world. I think that's it. The technical name when he created it was a "directed-energy weapon"
-
Are you sure he is? WE can't see faces - he might be sitting inside somewhere warm, drinking tea. That's more his style. And I can't remember - is he officially a prisoner? Because if so, he might be shut up somewhere.
Sorry, don't mean to change the topic, but they have the body. So yes, we know. Plus I heard they released videos of the shoot-out. Don't know why anyone would want to see those though-they sound morbid to me.
I don't think it's big enough to be the whole death-ray. Maybe a part of it? ARGH, this anticipation is killing me! Oh, and didn't you love the bear's pointy hat?
-

*facepalm* Yeah, I think he's an official prisoner. I mean, they were treating him nicely and all, but he had a guard, and they're not just going to say "He's the prince of Austria, probably one of the most valuable POWs ever, but we should probably just let him go because 'Dylan' Shapr will be mad if we don't.
-
I would. I fear her immensely.
-
I would. I fear her immensely.
Good for you! You've just become smarter than the British government in Levi.!"
Well, anyway, I'm sure Alek and Deryn with appreciate the vote of confidence, but still, he's a captive. :(
-
Total agreement. Even if he does have all the freedoms to be given him, he still can't leave, now can he?
-
Of course not. He's one of the main charries, isn't he? ;)
-
Total agreement. Even if he does have all the freedoms to be given him, he still can't leave, now can he?
I think she means leave the Leviathan, not just walk out of the books.

A girl can dream...
-
I hope Alek and Deryn stick by each other through Goliath. The last two they were split up some way or another and led their own seperate adventrues for awhile.
-
I second that motion!
-

Yeah, but Alek will probably be all annoyed cause he's a POW, and Deryn will probably be all "Hooray!!!". Which will only make Alek really confused...
-
Still if they have some good quality time together deryn will spill the beans and we ALL want that to happen!!!!
-
soo much in fact some of us are probably dribbling thinking about it!
That's right I'm looking at........
ALL OF US!!!!!! lol :P

soo much in fact some of us are probably dribbling thinking about it!
That's right I'm looking at........
ALL OF US!!!!!! lol :P
Yeah, I want that to. Just saying, Alek will probably be confused why Deryn wants him there sooooooo bad....
-
Oh gahl. My only fear is that after everything happens in Goliath, they dont get together. That would be bullet inducing.
-
One word ...suicide...
-
If they dont get together im gunna rip all the books in half delete my account and then.......... kill myself.............. <3
-

Ack dont do that!!!
And i am not sure that the flying thing is darwinist. . . I mean, it is a machine, not a beastie. . .
-
I dunno maybe...............................
I dont want Goliath to be a darwinist but maybe a clanker machine??
-
About the suicide thing... I probably wouldn't go that far (AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!), I would probably just give my copy a brutal death and send Scott a STRONGLY WORDED LETTER expressing my displeasure in his version of youth elixir (he said that the tears of his readers keep him young).
And I don't think that the package is nearly big enough for any part of the Tesla coil/death ray thing. Maybe it's something connected to it.
-
Like plans for a Tesla coil/death ray. Or an important missing component of it. Or orders to pick up Tesla. :)
-
exactly!

Good theories!

This picture actually didn't really spark the same kind of enthusiasm that they usually do. Probably 'cause we already saw part of it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I first saw it. :/
-
With the first one, I freaked out. With the second one, I laughed. This one just seemed to flop. Nothing really special. But I guess you can't show all the amazing a shocking pictures first, it would give away to much of the plot.
-
But according to the floating caption thingy when you hover over the picture, it happens early on in the book....chapter 3?
-
This picture actually didn't really spark the same kind of enthusiasm that they usually do. Probably 'cause we already saw part of it.
I thought the same, and I agree. I think it's partially because we saw some of it, and partially because of the stunning lack of spoilerly in the picture. And, since we saw some of it before, we were right in most of our initial speculations when we already examined it, and there was nothing left to say.

Exactly. Hopefully next month we will get a new picture with plenty to speculate over.
-
yes very excited about that!
-
ME 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY VERY VERTY VERY EXITED!!!!!!!!!
-
i guess he had to give us some picyures that wouldnt excite us as much :(
-
Yeah not fair.......... <3
-
basically. .
still, you cant really get mad at him.
There has to be some pictures in the book we havent seen. :D
-
YEAH!!!!!! but still Come on Scott!!!!!!!!!!
Give us an AWEEESSSOMMMMEEEEEE picture please <3
-
His is doing way more than normal authors do. I like to think it's because he cares about us. I mean, how many authors give out pictures from their upcoming books? (I know that they don't have any pictures anyway (sucks to be them), but it's an example) We should be grateful that he's even giving us this much.
-
that is true. . .
Darn it, you are making us feel guilty for being crazy obsessed fans. >:(
*Sits in a corner and sulks* ;)
-
I will sulk with you
-
I just want more Alek/Deryn pictures. There's not nearly enough of them together. Look at Leviathan and Behemoth. Not really a whole lot (and in most Deryn looks like she wants to punch him).
-
so true... oh well
-
oh well??? OH WELL?
-
that is true. . .
Darn it, you are making us feel guilty for being crazy obsessed fans. >:(
*Sits in a corner and sulks* ;)
Oh, I'm sorry! (I is a crazy person too, but I felt bad for Scott. Imagine having us on your tail all day long!)
-
I can imagine it now,..
-
i cant. not yet, at least…
-
that is true. . .

Its ok. I was kind of joking. And I get that Scott does a lot more for his readers than most authors.

now that you said something about it . . . . . she does XD
-
Hmm. maybe not punch him, but angry? Maybe.
(And Hi newbie!)
-
Yeah maybe!
-
Exasperated maybe? Stupid barking ninny prince!
-
isn't he?
-
But that's why we love him! :D
-
and hate him
-
Oh, I could never hate Alek. Just.... exasperated. That really is the perfect word to describe being with his princeliness. :D
-

Agreed. Alek, for all his obliviousness, is suprisingly unhatable.
But then again, I find most people generally hard to hate in the first place. Hating just makes life tough, you know.
-
He's rather hard to hate, because he doesn't really hate anyone himself. He believes very strongly in human goodness.
-

That's a good explanation. Though considering what he's been through, I can't imagine why.
I would probably be pretty bitter. But that's Alek for you. :D

I agree wholeheartedly with both of you.
-
which is kind of funny, because he starts out the book as a spoiled prince. But he gets over that so fast that you can't help but love him! He's such a great, well developed character.
-

I remember thinking, when I first started reading Leviathan, that I wasn't going to like him. But he's changed so much! That's exactly why I love him as a character!
That's actually my favorite thing about books: Fully fledged and developed characters. :)
-
I think Alek and Deryn are some of the best developed characters I've read in a while. At least since Harry Potter. But seriously, the last time I liked two characters this much was Ron and Hermione.
-
I like the series about as much as Harry Potter, but I am actually much more attached to Alek and Deryn than any of the characters in Harry Potter. Go figure... XD

He's a lot more dynamic than Deryn, and I kept wondering if she would change as much as he will. But I doubt it... From the plot descriptions of Goliath it looks like more character change may be coming for Alek. I imagine it will be very hard for him to give up what he thinks he deserves and wants so much.
-
Oh, I could never hate Alek. Just.... exasperated. That really is the perfect word to describe being with his princeliness. :D
i just hate his stupidity. other than that, hes cool
-
well at least he is a very accurate 15-year-old boy. Completely oblivious!
-
sadly
-
I love stories about royals and aristocrats so this book was right up my alley. I love Alek and all his ways, I wouldn’t even say I am exasperated with him. I just wish he wasn’t so trusting. Like even with The Committee, I did not trust those people, and didn’t think he should trust them either. I was just waiting for someone to betray him. I don’t think he is stupid though, that seems a bit harsh.
-
i guess youre right. But who IS the stupid character????
-
Newkirk!
-
Why does everyone think Newkirk is stupid?
-
Why does everyone think Newkirk is stupid?
I don't think he is stupid. He is a clever boy.
-
yay!!!
-
I was totally kidding! Newkirk just isn't a large part of the story(as of yet)/we don't really know him which makes him an easy target. He's also Monkey Luddite which Deryn makes fun of all the time... ::)
-
oh… OKAY!!!!!!!!!$$$$!!!!!!!!
-
Heh yeah, sorry, it does kind of suck that everyone makes fun of Newkirk.... :-\
-
well he is so easy to make fun of.
-
Yeah! So EASY ;D ;D
-
We don't really know a whole lot about him. On one hand, he must be smarter than the other middies or have some talent or connections in order to stay on board when all the other middies left in the beginning of Levi. On the other, it does say somewhere that he slept during lessons. I think he's an average boy, who like most people, pales in comparison to Deryn. ;D
-
I love it how everyone in Scott's books are so real. I hate perfect characters (Dylan from Maximum Ride, anyone?)
-
im not done the second book yet
-
With Max Ride?
-
yeah, i know what you mean about him. :P
is anyone else dying because we havent got any more pictures, be they fan art or real, or even news on leviathan, for a while? ???
-
yeah, i know what you mean about him. :P

YES!! I've been having mini-withdrawals! ::)
-
me too :'(
-
I've noticed the same. I'm working on a few fics, but I'm also trying to get through the end of the school year and plan a wedding. Hopefully I'll have something up this week though. And I'm mad at Scott because he keeps avoiding putting up the fanfics (although he made up for it when he said that Deryn's eyes are blue. Squeee!)
-
Oh, is his next fanart Friday going to be fanfic?... That will be interesting. I am coming close to finishing that fanfic I've been working on for so long, but I have a big assignment due Friday from my interim class. Well, at least my next summer class doesn't start until July. ;D
-
Um, summer class? I feel bad for you.
-
Oh, don't! If I wasn't taking a summer class then I would have to get a real job over the summer. XD
-
yay some picyures are up!
-
Okay im gunna check\!!!!!!!!!

The other day on his Twitter. I guess he finally relented to all the fans begging for an answer. :D
-
Hahahah! You annoy enough and you eventually get an answer! Go team!
-
What is Scott's twitter?
-
scottwesterfeld I think. It's on the front page of the website on one of the side columns.
-
coolio! thankees!
-
must have more...
-
I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Now I wish I had a Twitter. And a Facebook.
-
Now I wish I had a Twitter. And a Facebook.
IKR? That's what I was just thinking!
-
My parents are super protective, and they think getting a Facebook and Twitter is asking to get cyber-bullied.
-
Well, I don't have a twitter, I just read Scott's every so often. :)
-
I just depend on you guys to stalk him for me!
-
same here lol!
-
My parents are super protective, and they think getting a Facebook and Twitter is asking to get cyber-bullied.
that is what my mother says. And also that everything on there is "inappropriate" :P

Yeps but i secretly get them shhhh!!!!!!

It gets annoying to have protective parents. Before I was 13, I had to read the book before I could watch a PG-13 movie, because they thought I would get scared at the sight of blood.

Don't talk to me about protective. I was 13 when my mom decided I was old and adequate enough to swim in a pool alone without drowning. I got a Facebook a little while back, it's not really all that. You're not missing much, and you can get your information here, complete with speculation. :)

hmmm I getting a FB soon...

Your situation was much worse than mine.
-
My parents made me read all the books the pg 13 movies were based on too. (I never read. I hated reading, useless stuff I believed literature was.)
-
???
you hate reading?
-
that was the past tense read. I still hate books. =P because They never satisfy. But movies are worse.

wait wait. who hates books?? >:( >:(
*holds ice pick threateningly*
-
WHAT?!
*Has an army of walruses*
-
awww shit.
*all alone with just a poptart*
I just never feel fully satisfied after I read something. All that effort and little outcome, (thinking is hard).
-
I normally feel pretty satisfied with endings. What I don't like is when they drag it out in uneccessary epilogues and sequels. When the plot is over, the book should end. I don't really feel like it's a lot of effort to make it through a book. However, I am also prejudiced against long books, and only read them if they have had really good reviews, no matter how awesome the plot sounds. Most long books don't need to be that long, anyway...
Only on a few particular occasions have a wanted more (like in my favorite book ever, when the female love interest decides to go find the male love interest again... tomorrow. Then the book ends. :()
-
I have read waaaaay too many books. There are only like 15 original plots and everything is a variation on that.
Then theres the way that theres always some partially deveoped element that I wish I could have read more about.
All books have like 1 of only a few endings.. Like in Peeps, uglies, and So Yesterday, the Endings are Basically like, "we're waching you."
Yeah. I don't like it when books have all that long boring nonsense in between the excitement or when they randomly add sequels (like with the new pirates of the carribean) Uglies was cool, but Extras was a little uh extra, even though it was awesome...
-
Not true! Scott's books have a very original plot (have you read other books with flying whales in them!?)
-
I would have to say that flying whales aren't really part of the plot, they are part of the setting. But I do think that Leviathan's plot is unusual, I don't think I've ever read a book that had the same sort of dramatic irony thing with Alek & Deryn going on.
-
Scott-la's book is AWESOME. All his books are, uh.. I have a love hate relationship with books in general. Leviathan has a bit of Mulanness, But it is still very different from it. Umm.. YEah. Goliath will either make this series awesome for me or kill it.
-
I was very satisfied with many books, and there are many that I think could've benefited from another book. But some (like most books about vampires) are just pathetic.
-
Vampires. are. special.

I like Sparkly Unicorns. Not Sparkly Vampires. =P
-
I liked vampires all the way back during my freshman year of high school (2000). I read Dracula and thought it was awesome.
And then Stephenie Meyer ruined it for everyone. And now they're everywhere! And it's rather annoying
-
yeahs. That is Sucky. Lol. Sorry. ummm.. yeah

lolz! :P
-
Wow. We got off topic. I guess we can just talk about whatever on here until the new pic comes out.
-
yeah...
Potatoes wow potatoes they are so........ patotish
Okay someone else got anything better to talk about then me?
-
::)

I've read he first four in Septimus Heap, but that was a few years ago and I haven't really followed it since. But I love the Maze Runner!
-

-
Wednesday has never seemed so far away! Can't wait!!! ;D I wonder what it'll be...
But can you imagine the week or two before Goliath comes out?? It shall be the slowest. week. ever.
EVER.
-
We will all curl up into little balls and cry ourselves to sleep at night wishing for a time machine.
Well maybe not, but we'll come close. :P
-
My week is going to be uber-slow because I'll be looking foward to my birthday and Goliath. :P
My school ends June 10th. We still have to take finals, though. :P It's kinda bizarre, because our graduation ceremony was Friday. If I'm an eigth grade graduate, why do I still have to do eigth grade homework?
-
You guys are so lucky i dont break off from school until July 24th not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
You guys are so lucky i dont break off from school until July 24th not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh uhh September 3 i think i dont know yet...
Mmm..you have a short summer. That stinks...
I start sometime in late August, usually, but this year we get to start way late because of renevations to the high school.
-
Yeahhh i only get 6 weeks
-
Meanwhile, I'm heading into winter. Oh yeah ;D ;D
But, then again, that just means that my holidays are shorter than yours... :(
But it also means SKIING for me! Wooooo!!!!
-
Thats good!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
;D ;D ;D
Not that we get much good snow in Australia though... but still :)
-
I didnt think that Australia ever snowed
-
My school starts on August 15. We get out on Wednesday. Isn't that sad?
srry maybe it was the sixth but it was a light sky blue dont remember the name
It's called Syren. It's the fifth.

Please please please Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 >.<

The latest post date says June 1st, so I guess he might wait until June 2nd. :(
-
*crosses fingers* Pweeease Scott!! (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/199/9/4/_pwease__by_stuck_in_suburbia.gif)
Oh, I love the emoticon. As always.
-
As long as it comes SOON, we'll be satisfied ;D
-
sigh
-
Apparently, he'll be posting new in two hours... to be voted on. So, on the plus, we get three new things to look at, on the minus, we'll have to wait awhile to see any fully...
-
so. . . you are saying that even though he already posted today, he will be posting again? And another vote picture? Yay! but also a bit aggravating. :-\
-
I'm excited to vote again! He said in two hours, but that was six hours ago... Hopefully he'll put it up soon. It's like almost 6 am over there, so maybe in a few hours.... ::)
-
I was expecting the pic when I got home from school (today was the last day!). But instead, all I get is Klout.
-
Klout is cool!! But yeah, still a disappointment... :-\
-
I just need something to spice up my day. Actually, a new chappie came out on one of my fav fanfics on fanfiction.net, but it didn't satisfy me.
-
Scott Westerfeld tweeted that he's planning to reveal a picture, but he might consider having us vote again: http://twitter.com/#!/ScottWesterfeld
-
He said he'll post it in two hours...eight hours ago. Sigh...
-
He said he'll post it in two hours...eight hours ago. Sigh...
I saw that too. Is he on Narnia time, or something? haha
-
Okay, Scott made a tweet about two hours ago, so we know he's awake now. He better put up the art choices soon! I'm getting antsy! :D
-
=P Klout sounds scary. btw. Technology always creeps me out. =P No pictures=dissapointing/ sad-making.
-
the picture not being there yet is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
This waiting is absolute torture!!
-
This waiting is absolute torture!!
Any kind of waiting is absolute torture... It's true!
-
AHH! They're up! They're up! I can't decide between one and three!!!
Awwww! He mentioned my countdown! That makes me happy. :)
-
YES! FINALLY!! I voted for Number 1, just because, I want to know are those bodies? Corpses? That arm in the background looks kind of creepy.
Hard to tell anything from the others, but looks like a giant bird/aeroplane thing in Number 2. Probably not too revealing, I'm more into people pictures, I guess. I want to know who's on the plane. XD
-
I almost voted for one, but in the end I chose three. The storm is just too tempting. But I really want to see all three!! :D
-
Looking again at picture one what is that weird glowy thing at the top? A light? Someone's head? They'd have to be really, really tall, or having an out-of-body experience. XD Maybe is just looks like it it glowing, and is really someone standing on a box. ;D Well, whatever it is, it's behind that grey box. :( Is someone helping Deryn pulling the sleeping person from the sleeping bag? The person has long hair, I think.
Ah, too much to think about!
-
WHERE. ARE. THEY?
-
Huh. I didn't see that glowy thing.... I don't know what it is.
You know, it looks like they're sleeping. Is this on the Leviathan? And Deryn is trying to "extract" something... but from who? And what? Hmmmm..... she must be on a secret mission. But is it a personal mission or one for the Leviathan? Let the speculation begin!! :D
-
Oh my god, so conflicted. They all look amazing!
...But. Highlight for spoilers:
This comes from a review: it's hard to mind theatrical revelations when they occur in a made-for-CGI storm.
...Perhaps picture 3 has to do with the reveal?
-
I would just rather have the book right now.
-

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES??!?!?!

WHERE. ARE. THEY?

-
Anyone notice the (maybe) Hapsburg seal of the double-headed eagle on the ship(?) in the second picture?! :o
-
I DID! (When I went back and checked XD)
-
:o
Is it legal to vote for all three?... :(
-
*evil glint in eye*. Not if you have three different emails and names…
-
I voted for all three at first! :D
-
WOOHOOO!!
Me too then!!

1 for me
-
Aye, one's my favorite.
But then again...this is Keith Thompson we're talking about!
I like 'em all!!
-
Yeah, I didn't notice the Hapsburg eagle, but that definitely looks like it on that Zeppelin. So, Austrian zeppelin pursues the Leviathan?
-
:o
Don't use the machine guns!!
-
Chainsaw?
-
Definitely not a chainsaw either. :o
Anyone have any idea what is in top right-hand corner of the second picture? At first glance, I thought it was a tree, but now I'm not so sure....
-
I thought it was some kind of bird-Darwinist-thing. But it could also be some creature with a spiky tail, or even the cillia of the Leviathan at the right angle (but probably not).
-

The surface looks rather featherlike, to me.
-
Yea, I can't decide if it should be feathery or scaly... It's such a dizzying scene!
-
I voted number one. HAVE to know whats goin on in the -assumed- barracks.
And 'A careful extraction'?..... *Bounces* MUST KNOW!
-
Everytime he releases a new picture, I feel like it's my birthday! ;D
I voted #1 like everyone else... But #2 looks interesting as well....
-
I know! I cant actually look at the arts until 5 minutes after I first see them...so exciting!
-
Yes!!! Monthly birthdays :D
When does the winning picture usually get revealed???
(And I vote #1, btw, after much thinking. I hope it's worth it!!!)
-
Like, within a week. ::)
-

Idk last time I think it was like 1 or 2 days after he first posted the pics..
-
Hey can somone be so kind and post those 3 pictures here coz my computer is being gay
-
Last time he waited until there were 200 votes, I believe... Anyway, when it got close to the end I started calling friends telling them to go and vote. XD So, definitely vote, it will probably help them be revealed faster.
Here are the links for you Kieya (if that's what you wanted):

So, now we know what chapters they are from too... I hadn't thought to look. So, number one is Chapter 10, right before Chapter 11 (hmm.... those of you who read the spoiler thread know what I'm talking about... ;D)
-

Could you please not use 'gay' as an insult? It's really rude. Thank you.
-
Sorry Arrrhhhhh its still not working can you post the pictured here please!!!!!
-
OMG they're all so good! I don't know if I want to vote for the first one (For some reason it looks to me like Deryn's helping some beasty or other give birth. I'm not entirely sure why. :P) or the second! ("Firefight in the air" just sounds so epic!)
-
PLease someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I apologize in advance for the size that this post will be. Really sorry! :-[
Okay Kieya, chapter 10:
(http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ch10_full.jpg)
Chapter 15:
(http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ch15_full1.png)
And chapter 19:
(http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ch19_full.png)
So vote, vote, vote!!

tis alright
Dam stupid computer still not working i'll gunna go a different computer
-
You still can't see the pictures? :(
-
I can but theres like a gray box covering the picture in the middle
-
I voted for picture 1. Here's my interpretation:
1: Seeing the various body parts, Deryn is in a bunking quarters. She looks like she's exerting herself, and if you follow her arms (which you can't see) it looks like she's pulling the cloth under someone's head away. It's dark - maybe Alek? Since Newkirk has his own cabin. But would they have CLankers bunking with everyone else? Especially a prince? Whoever he is, she probably tried to wake them the normal way, found that they (like most males) just ignored her, and decided more radical methods. What's next to her? NOt sure. THat's why I voted for it.
2: A fight scene. These are great and everything, but I prefer characters. It's probably Deryn on a huxley (note the two ropes going off camera). THe feathers make me wonder - close up of strafing hawk, or do they have griffins now? And yay, an Austria Hungarian zeppelin. Friend or foe? Considering the picture's entitled Firefight, I'm going to go with Foe.
3: It's either the Leviathan with weird texture or a zeppelin under crazy storm clouds. It's far away enough that whatever in the middle (if it's people) will be tiny. Unless, of course, it's the TESLA CANNON! ;D Anyway, I wasn't interested as much.
-
I can but theres like a gray box covering the picture in the middle
LOL! Kieya, that's the point!! :D Scott's hiding a bit of the picture from us, and wants us to vote for which one we want to see in full! That's why we are all voting for the numbers. He'll reveal the winning picture probably in a day or two. I still choose number three!
-
Alirghts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uhh yeah i'll go with 3
sorry again!!!!!!!
-
Wow, they're all amazing!!!
I kinda thought along the lines of tridecagirl with analysis. I went for one. I just think Deryn waking up Alek (or anyone else) in a radical way would be hilarious and amusing. And the look on her face....
And btw, the person who posted some other person's fanfic under the name 'SKY-LA : )' was NOT me. Just letting you know. :D
I posted under my real (first) name.
-
Argh those really long fanfic posts were really annoying! at first I thought they were real excerpts because of where they were, but then the writing was much different than the books and I was like, no, this HAS to be a fanfiction. but I voted one.
-
I went with Numero Uno! Deryn's expression is to awesome. I just want to know what's happening! And it says a careful extraction. Doesn't look to careful to me, though... ???
-

LOL, since when has Deryn ever been careful?
Her style is more: "Get out of bed you barking bumrag befoere I bloody remove you!"
-
Maybe they are stealing something from a clanker ship.
-

Most definitely. That's so typically Deryn!
Maybe they are stealing something from a clanker ship.
Possibly. She looks quite determined about whatever it is.
-
I'm still sticking with number three; I really think that annoying block could be hiding something huge to the plot of the story! And it's chapter 19, which means it's part of the Rising Action. I just think that this picture will give a better idea to what is happening in the story. I really want to know what is looming menacingly over Alek and/or Deryn (someone's gotta be in that picture, right?).
I know a lot of people are voting for number one because it's Deryn sneaking around (and her expression is awesome!), but I think it'll just be like the "Secrets in the Rookery" reveal. We'll see what's going on, but we won't know what's going on without some kind of dialogue.
Man, Scott sure knows how to torture us! How can he expect us to choose from three amazing (and infuriatingly mysterious) pictures! He should just show us all three! ;D
-
Well, he might show us the #2 winner next month or later, as he did for the last picture vote.
-
You know what? I just want the book to come out. Then we wouldn't have to worry about picking the right one to reveal cause they will already be revealed all at once!
-
Well, he might show us the #2 winner next month or later, as he did for the last picture vote.
He did what now? When? Where? What?
-
I'm excited for tomorrow.
-
So, by my count so far (hopefully it's more or less correct) I have:
Picture #1: 96 votes
Picture #2: 11 votes
Picture #3: 25 votes
Hmmm.... Do I detect another landslide of a win? ::) :D
-
Well, he might show us the #2 winner next month or later, as he did for the last picture vote.
He did what now? When? Where? What?
The "Hooking the Package" picture was part of the first picture vote. It came in second, I believe...
Landslide, indeed. XD
-
I hope he shows number three next month. I really want to see what's behind that block!
I told Scott he needs to give us a quote or two along with the winning picture. That would be awesome! ;D
-

Oh yeah..... ^^;
-
i really want to see the first picture
-
Hmmm...
I like the idea of an Austrian Zeppelin, I wonder how Alek would react to having his family's seal on something he's fighting against?
And I love Deryn's expression in pic 1! But doesn't Alek have his own cabin now that everyone knows that he's a prince?
-
wait i might have missed something while reading
everyone knows alek is a prince?
-
Wasn't it revealed at the end of Behemoth? Or am I just thinking of a fanfiction?
-
not sure and i cant check my friend has my copy :(
-
It might just be a fanfiction. They get all twisted around in my head.
-
i think it was reall. . . . .didnt that reporter write about it?
and they got a copy of that paper on the levi
-
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that was how it happened. And I know what you mean with fanfiction and the actual book get jumbled up in your head. That always amuses me for some reason. :P
-
yeah
IF ANY ONE CAN REMEMBER IF THEY KNOWIN THE BOOK OR IN THE FANFICTIONS PLEZ TELL US
-
*sighs in relief* I thought it wasn't real for a second! (I now vaguely know how Peeta feels) So wouldn't Alek have his own cabin?
-
WAIT YOU FOUND THE ANWSER NEVER MIND PPL
srry didnt see the caps lock
-
again.
-
Y'know, there is always the option of the backspace button. ::)
-
Y'know, there is always the option of the backspace button. ::)
well thats no funh :-\ >:( :D
-
::)
-
Wonder when Scott's gonna reveal the winning picture...?
-
Maybe tomorrow?
-
Well the votes have already gone more then 200, so if he's going by the same rules as he did last time it should be soon...
-
Yea, last time he did it around 250, right? I think I'm done posting in the comments thread; I've said everything I wanted to. So, hopefully he'll reveal it soon! :D
-
Keep on voting! We only need to get to 300! :D
-
wait how do you know that? ???
-
Hopefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
scott said that he would stop the voting at around 300 people we are around 250 now. i counted up the votes but i was tired when i did so the numbers might be a bit off also they are rounded by 5's to
picture one: a careful extraction
135 votes!!
picture two: firefight in the air
15 votes!!
picture three: the coming storm
30 votes!!
ahain i was very tired so this is what i got the numbers are also rounded but ither way its not the exact number of votes that count just which has the most so picture one in this case
a careful extraction
-
Waahahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like 3 more thoughhh................ >.< But cnt wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love all of them!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think 3 is probably more spoilery, and I don't want too many spoilers, so I went for 1. Curious as to what that rounded thing is...
-
Yeahh................... i like 1 but i love 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think 3 is probably more spoilery, and I don't want too many spoilers, so I went for 1. Curious as to what that rounded thing is...
i thought maybe it was the top of a head, though the proportion seemed wrong. . .
-
Hmmmmmmmmmm stil like 3!!!!!!!!!
-
yeah that one was interesting too. i had such trouble deciding. . .
-
Yeah between all of them!!!!!!!!11 i wish i could see all of them not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.<
-
well for the first picture reveal when he had us vote before he ended up revealing one of the other pictures at yet ANOTHER art reveal, so it is actaully possible that you will be seeing one of the options that doesnt get chosen at a later date.
-
Ahh i see!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then i cnt wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 how many pictures has it have in the book?
-
um he told us somewhere in his blog, but I dont feel like looking back and finding it, sorry.
-
Ahh okay i'll go look i saw it be4 i think it was like 54?? IDK....
-
He said somewhere around 50.
I think No. 3 is the Tesla cannon.
-
Ahhh I see thanks!!! :D
-
I think so too. That's why I didn't vote for it.
-
See, I really want to see a kiss scene or an epic final battle scene, and he's unlikely to reveal either.
-
same
-
I think so too. That's why I didn't vote for it.
Yeah. If I already had a good idea about what it was, I didn't want to look at that one. However, I have no idea what that glowy thing is in No.1
-
Ditto. Too tall to be a person, unless it's Alek pulling his stand on a box thingy. I think she's waking him up though, so I really want to know what the tall thing is!
-
It doesn't really look like a head, since it's, you know, glowing. Plus it's oddly proportioned.
-
Yeppers. I MUST KNOW!
-
in pic one they look like sleeping bags maybe deryn is trying to pull alek out of his sleeping bag
-
It's up! Is that the Tesla Cannon device? A wee bit small...
-
I like that they're entrusting something important to a scrawny midshipman and a prisoner of war. "Here, Clanker enemy! We trust you around important stuff with no guards at all! Have at it!"
Also interesting - if you look at the architecture, it's very linear, not curvy. And I don't see any messenger lizard tubes. I don't think they're in the Leviathan. Stealing off a clanker ship?
-
LOL!
It looks like there are brains in the bulb thingys.
-
I know. Sorta nasty.
-
Ahaha! That's awesome! I wonder why someone would send Deryn and Alek on some sort seemingly important mission... Hmmm...
-
I like how there's barely any discussion.
-
Heh no one knows what's going on.
-
I see a pilot hat... they must be sneaking on an enemy airship?
-
Must be... I wonder if someone put it in the sleeing quarters to be guarded (as in hoping someone would be awake if anyone, you know, decided to steal it...) If so, this is a pretty convienient fail for our friends ::)
-
THE PICTURE IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL A MINIATURE TESLA CANNON FROM A SHIP AND HAD TO GO TROUGH A BUNCH OF SLEEPING AREAS.
srry about caps lock
alek and brovil are there
-
Looks awesome!!!!!!!
-
yep
-
It could be a component for the death ray... That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Maybe a scaled model? And they're stealing it so that the enemy can't use it to build there own? Although why that would be trusted to a middie and a POW is beyond me, and kinda makes me think that they're just doing this on their own time, or under the orders of Barlow or something, not the captain.
-
On their own time, eh?
Hey Alek, wanna steal a death ray? It'd be loads of fun.
Sure! That sounds wonderful!
-
... You know what I mean. :P
-
What chapter is this from?
-
lolz "Great idea Dylan let's go do it now!"
-
What chapter is this from?
I believe it was chapter 10
-
On their own time, eh?
Hey Alek, wanna steal a death ray? It'd be loads of fun.
Sure! That sounds wonderful!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Yeah, for one, I really don't think Dylan could sneak out for the weekend to steal a deathray, and Alek definately couldn't....but it's a good theory ;D!
Speaking of which, what is he doing there? He's a bloody POW....Maybe they're on a mission, and they needed him as a translator or something and there are guards waiting for them outside? I dunno. Or maybe he escaped again!
P.S. does anyone else think Bovril looks a bit...wierd?
-
I really wnat to read Goliath so much now.

First: IT'S UP!!! OMG IT'S UP!!!! *obnoxious fan girl scream*
Second: I love Bovril in this picture. As Deryn and Alek are killing themselves to get the watever-it-is, Bovril's just chillin on Alek's shoulder like "Hey! Look at that!"
Third: the guy who's snoring is my favorite (which also leads me to believe they're stealing this, but why would they go through the sleeping men of an enemy ship? What are you doing to me Scott...)

IKR! Bovril is so funny and cute! I was thinking the same thing.
-
ikr?
-
It's impossible to not love Bovril.
-
It's like... Alek and Deryn are staring right at us... :o
-
Spooky, isn't it? ::)
-
YESTHENEWPICTUREISAWESOME!!!
I'm assuming that would be the death ray...
-
this looks like it could be the cause of the storm the third pic is talking about cause of all the staticy lightningy stuff.do you think they are on the goliath wen they have that thingermabobdeathraything?or could it have caused the fire in the second pic?
-
I've been so bust today that I haven't been able to get on the computer until now, and all day long my mind was wondering about the picture reveal. Love it!! I love Bovril! I love Alek and Deryn! And I love Newkirk (I'm assuming it's Newkirk) snoring! That has to be the Death Ray, right?! ;D ;D
Eeep! I need Goliath now!!
-
I don't really care about newrick honestly.
-
I don't really care about newrick honestly.
Well, he's not the most exiting character....
reminds me a bit of Neville Longbottom. But I love Neville. I'm not sure how Newkirk is going to turn out.
-
Love Neville, Love Newkirk!
Anyway, the pic wasn't anything I expected (well, sorta...), but it wasn't disappointing.
-
Love Neville, Love Newkirk!
Anyway, the pic wasn't anything I expected (well, sorta...), but it wasn't disappointing.
That's why I voted for #3. I wanted to see some action.
-
well you don't see him much.
-
I think No.3 would just be the Death Ray. I wanted to be surprised. Plus I wanted a pic of Alek.
-

Yes, Alek is always a plus :D
We got both Deryn and Alek in the reveal! That was good luck!
-
I want Volger kissing Miss... (I can't remember her name no matter how many times I read Leviathan.)
-
I want Volger kissing Miss... (I can't remember her name no matter how many times I read Leviathan.)
Barlow? ;)
-
That is not going to happen. If there even was a picture of that, why would Scott show us? He would want it to be a surprise.
-

And what a wonderful surprise it would be! ;D
If you are a Varlow fan you can pretty much take any picture of those two and turn it into something romantic. Doesn't matter what it is. ;)
-
That's called deluding yourself.
-
That's called being a fangirl. THAT'S WHAT WE DO! ;D
-
Too true! :D
-
Absolutely. ;D
-
Yeah, I delude myself too. *crosses fingers* AlekxDeryn will happen, AlekxDeryn will happen...
-
Urgh... I was typing out a detailed reaction post and my stupid unremoveable laptop keyboard shortcuts deleted my whole post. >:(
Anyway... I was at my internet-less Dad's house this weekend and could only see the picture on my sister's smartphone. It looks much better on a bigger computer screen.
- I think that they are definitely on the Leviathan somewhere, probably running around doing secret work for Barlow or Tesla (who could be on the ship by this point, I guess). Might also have something to do with the package in the bears image, maybe... :-\ I wonder why its so important. The coils make me think of Tesla.
- I love Bovril's expression too. Alek and Deryn have the exact same expression on their faces, which is kind of funny. XD I wonder if they are angry or arguing about something, say, a secret, as well though... or maybe I'm grasping at straws here. :P
- Snoring guy is funny, but I also like the guy sleeping with his cap over his face. ;)
Maybe I will remember more of my original post later...
-
Well, I had a lot of reading to catch up on.
But from the general ideas people were giving, I saw no one had suggested maybe they're going through an infirmary. The people around might not just be sleeping... maybe they're all sick. I don't know... sounds kinda wrong now, but it's just a thought. And I do agree with the whole, Alek and Deryn are pulling a mini Tesla Cannon thing. Maybe the Leviathan tried to recreate one to counteract the German one? Or they snuck onto a German ship, to steal the weapon! As bait for the Tesla inventor man we are supposed to meet in Goliath? So he can work on it? So he can dismantle it? Sabotage? Too many ideas I have, that probably won't even happen! :)
It's all so much, I can't wait for the book! :D
-
*hums* All I want for Christmas is my Goliath book, my Goliath book, my Goliath book...
-
I don't think people who were sick/injured would be placed so closely together. Also, could the ship even function with so few people running it? It's probably just the riggers' sleeping quarters on the ship, doesn't Deryn describe it in the first book?
-
Yeah, I think it's the sleeping quarters. Wouldn't we see bandages and stuff if it were an infirmary?
-
Again, I don't think it's on the Leviathan. In that large room, there are no message lizard tubes anywhere! Plus, the architecture is linear rather than curving.
-
Hmmm...might they be in a German camp? If so, why?
-
It looks pretty curvy to me, especially those railings/bars. I wouldn't imagine that the riggers' sleeping quarters would be as fancy as the more prominent parts of the ship.
Anyway, where would they run into a German camp in the first 10 chapters of the book?
-
Scott just might be skipping the exposition in this book. We are 'Hooking the Package' in Ch. 3.
-
Or maybe the machines just flippin heavy and they have need to be all sneaky-like...?
I think they're in some sort of machine or beastie, judging by the presumed lever and door/port thingy. Maybe a ship?
Gahl! I'll just wait for my birthday and then see about buyin the book after it...then I'll know. X3
-
I don't think they're on the Leviathan either. It's looks like a huge tent... or some factory...? And why are they stealing that strange machine thingy ...?
-
Guys! I think I figured out where they are! I almost thought they weren't on the Leviathan either, because like Tridecagirl said, there are no messenger lizard tubes. But I was examining the picture, and noticed the hatch-like door behind Alek, and it reminded me of a door to a cargo hold on a ship. Which gave me an idea and made me pull out my copy my of Behemoth to look at the picture "Keelhaul Drop" (class, please pull out your books and turn to page 249). ;)
Compare the two pictures:
http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/9092/behmothvsgoliath.jpg
That could be where there are! And I think the machine definitely has something to do with Tesla, though I don't know if they would have him on the Leviathan by chapter 10 or not. And I'm still not sure why all the men are sleeping there... maybe they're like guards or something... ::)
-
That sounds like a pretty good idea. Perhaps they are smuggling in secret cargo. I still really think that the railings look very Darwinist. They don't look Clanker at all.
-
It's a good theory... and I'm almost convinced, but if they're taking it INTO the Leviathan, why is it called a careful EXTRACTION?
Must have book now!
-

Maybe it's an extraction from one part of Leviathan to the next. Like, I can extract myself from the basment and go up to the living room. I'm still in the house. ;D
-
Because everyone says it like that.
"I shall extact myself from my room and go to the kitchen."
Teasing aside, you might be right.
-

Um, duh! I mean, the word 'leave' is so, like...2 minutes ago.
Why thank you. :)
-
Or maybe they're extracting it out of another ship? I guess all ships would have a cargo holds, right?
-
Nuuuuu! No one else may have a cargo hold!
Jk.
-
Maybe they aren't 'extracting' it into the Leviathan. Maybe they're trying to get it out? I have no idea why they would do that, just trying to see all the angles.
-
Maybe the captain's being stupid (big surprise) and won't let them take it because it's a valuable weapon, but Dr. barlow knows it's too dangerous and must be destroyed, so she makes them steal it.?
-
Maybe they're trying to chuck it out the ship.
-
Where it will land in some poor dude's house and he will use it to prop up his tomato plants.
-
Then he says, "Oh shucks! Not again!"
-
Because Tesla cannons come raining down on him quite often. This is a fact. You see, I stole the one in Moonie's fic Now or Never so Alek and Deryn wouldn't die, then dropped it in Russia. They're probably still counting and VERY confused.
-
You Russians.
-
lol you guys! ::)
-
Plus if they keep dropping things in the Switzerland mountains.
-
XD
I thought that it was called "extraction" because they were maneuvering through a tight spot. I'm pretty sure I've heard that phrase before for that--as in, if you were trying to squeeze through a door that could only be opened a few inches or something or getting yourself free from being stuck somewhere.
-
Lol Like trying to move a large couch through a door. I could see Alek and Deryn's dialogue now....
Alek: "Wait, wait! My hands are slipping!"
Deryn: *Huffs* "Are you even lifting the barking thing, or am I doing all the work?"
Alek: "Just lift it a little higher" *shuffles machine around* "If I could just get a better grip...."
Deryn: "Alek, stop! Just stop, you ninny! This isn't working."
Alek: "Okay. Set it down a second. We need to think about this." *Starts to lower machine*
Deryn: "Oi! Don't squish my fingers, dummkopf!"
Bovril: *Giggles maniacally*
;D ;D

Deryn: "Oi! Don't squish my fingers, dummkopf!"
Bovril: *Giggles maniacally*
;D ;D
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ;D
-
I love Bovril, in that picture! :D
-
Guys! I think I figured out where they are! I almost thought they weren't on the Leviathan either, because like Tridecagirl said, there are no messenger lizard tubes. But I was examining the picture, and noticed the hatch-like door behind Alek, and it reminded me of a door to a cargo hold on a ship. Which gave me an idea and made me pull out my copy my of Behemoth to look at the picture "Keelhaul Drop" (class, please pull out your books andturn to page 249). ;)
Compare the two pictures:

That could be where there are! And I think the machine definitely has something to do with Tesla, though I don't know if they would have him on the Leviathan by chapter 10 or not. And I'm still not sure why all the men are sleeping there... maybe they're like guards or something... ::)
My thoughts exactly
-
There are times when Deryn and Alek work very well together. Lifting couches is not included.
-
Couches are hard to move with say, more than one person....unless you're on the same brain waves....
-
Wouldn't it be funny, if they got married, to see them try to arrange furniture in their new house?
-
LOL ;D
-
Deryn would be doing all the work.
-
And Alek would be telling her where to put things, while she yells at him about how the love seat would look better by the window.
-
I am sure Alek would help move the furniture around, although that is sort of down the road.
-
Someone should write a fanfic about that, and end with them calling truce and snuggling on said loveseat. :D
-
As one of those comercials say, any moment can turn romantic.

;)
-
Eurggggghhh.
-
Do you know what those commercials are FOR?
-
Men's bladder problems or something like that.
-
Er, what commercial? I don't watch too much t.v. -.-;
Or maybe I don't want to know.... ::)
-
Actually, the one you just quoted is for...
Viagra. :P
-
:D
See what happens to us when we get old?
We need help just to have a normal love life...
;D
-
*goes to scrub mind with steel brush*
-
Hahaha!! Geez.... ::)
-
It's not that weird, is it?
-
......
I know I put that steel wool somewhere....
-
It's not that weird, is it?
The figurative language and just the most random footage they use makes absolutely no sense whatsoever....
-
......
I know I put that steel wool somewhere....
LOL
-
*passes soap to Clankinist*
-
Can I use it after you guys?
-
It's not that weird, is it?
The figurative language and just the most random footage they use makes absolutely no sense whatsoever....
Yeah, people over thirty should not do certain things. :P
And you guys are going to need more soap than that.
-
Sure. I'm looking for the blow dryer. I hate moisture in the brain.
-
....Comunity soap bar.....?? O.o
-
Oh shut up. *splashes soapy water at BH*
-
;D
-
Great, now I need more soap... *twitch*
-
Where do they even get steel wool? Like, are there giant factories that have sheep that grow it, and then giant machines shear em with.....shears that can cut....steel.
They should let the military know about them...
-
I bet the Darwinists made those.
-
I use on my swords...
Particularly a couple old Spanish cut and thrust swords....
-
Steel wool sheeps!!! :D
-
I will let one of those run through my mind.
-
*Sheep running*
C-clank c-clank BAAAAA!!
-
Bwahahaha!
-
-Sheep mows grass-
Yayness!
-
My mom has friends who knit with steel wire.... Anyway....
-
:o
Discount?? ;D
-
Love how we got from the cargo hold, to moving furniture, to viagra, and to steel sheep. :D
-
We're either brilliant...or utterly hopless...
-
I've got chain mail bracelets on both wrists....wearin em clean for my friend so he can sell em at this years renaissance faire....and hopefully I can sell some art....
How do you knit with steel wire? ...better yet, how do you KNIT?
I want a steel sheepy.
-
You knit with needles and thread. And sometimes steel, apparently. I've never been able to knit, but I can crochet, kinda.
-
We're either brilliant...or utterly hopless...
We couldn't be hopelessly brilliant? :D
-
D:
Mam tried to teach me the lost art of crochet. Im]hopeless though....fingers are to big and cramp from riding.
We're either brilliant...or utterly hopless...
We couldn't be hopelessly brilliant? :D
Le's go with that.
-
That is what Alek is afterall... ::)
-
Heh. Poor Alek. ;D
-
LOL Ive been listening to Behemoth and I laugh whenever Alek opens his mouth...or thinks. Im just like "Oh my gosh. *facepalm*".
-
I once could not keep myself from banging my head against a wall while reading Harry Potter. Alek hasn't gotten quite that bad yet. :P
-
Ah. So theres hope then. I guess? I havnt read or seen Harry Potter...
-
Ah. So theres hope then. I guess? I havnt read or seen Harry Potter...
Dude, read it! Read it now! You have 37 days till the last movie comes out; you could totally do it! :P
-
My little sister's friend is doing just that because she wants to come to opening night with us. ;D
-
.........Library.
-
I want to go to opening night sooooo bad!
-
I'll probably go the *day* it comes out. ;D Note the day... I'm not that obsessed to be watching it at 1am... ;)
-
That's what I want to do!
-
Have fun! :D
But I don't do well with late nights... I love sleep. :P
-
I love to stay up late, but hate to get up early.
-
Once it gets into the am hours, I wind down. Once I'm awake, though (in the morning) I can't fall back asleep. It's weird.
-
Well that makes it easy to stay up all night.
-
Lol. Not what I meant :P
-
I am going to the night showing!!!! :D
I am beyond obesessed. I passed my WOMBATS with flying colors! (JKR's website) ;D
And btw, whoever brought this up, what moment was that (if you don't want to spoil it for certain people, PM me. I'm curious.) :)
-
I am most definitely going to the midnight showing!! Dressing up and everything! ;D
-
Me too! ;D I'm going to dress as Luna, what about you?
-
Luna Luna Luna. Why did Harry go after boring chicks like Cho when amazing people like Luna are just lying aroudn????
-
IKR? She's like my favourite :D
-
I've been voted most like Luna on all the HP tests, LOL.
(anyone else think she would have gone great with Neville?)
-
I'm dressing up in my Hufflepuff school uniform, except I'm going to make myself look banged up and bloodied ('cus it's a war, right?). Scrapes, bruises, split lip, fake blood... it's gonna be so fun! ;D
-
I'm a total Hufflepuff all the way! :D
My mom would never let me buy a uniform though. XP
-
I've been voted most like Luna on all the HP tests, LOL.
(anyone else think she would have gone great with Neville?)
TOTALLY
-
I only have the Hufflepuff sweater and tie. My black robe is just some cheap one I got from a Halloween store. And then the white shirt and skirt at Goddwill. And my mom's dressing up as McGonagall, and I get to bloody her up too (Heh, that was weird to say). :P
I always get Hermione or Ron when I take those kinds of tests... ::)
-
Awesome! I'm gonna make a cloak and radish earrings and a Deathly Hallows necklace, and everything else I either already have or am going to get at like Value Village or something. I'm also making a Snape cloak for my sister. I can't wait! :D
I've been voted most like Luna on all the HP tests, LOL.
(anyone else think she would have gone great with Neville?)
Yes! Can you imagine the kinds of plants they'd have? :D
-
O.o

A friend of mine made radish earrings for me; baked clay. I absolutely love them! :D
I always wanted Neville and Luna together. You're right, they would have some crazy plants!
-
That's how I'm gonna make mine! But I have to make them clip-ons, as my ears aren't actually pierced yet... :-[
-
why aren't they?
-
'Cause I haven't been brave enough to do it yet. :P

Look at the first picture in the link... I think it is from Behemoth. In the background is a big mountain, and it looks like there's a face in the mountain. I thought it was cool! :)
-
lol, you're totally right! And, y'know, random... :P
-
No more random than Harry Potter...
-
You make an excellent point.

now are they taking it away from the loading bay or to?
-
I think from, because of the word "extraction", but we've already gone over how that can be reinterpreted... ::)
-
You'd think it would be dangerous for men to be sleeping in the loading bay, with an opening floor...? Hmmmmm... what's going on?!
-
Maybe where they normally sleep has been taken over by the lorises? :P
-
Maybe where they normally sleep has been taken over by the lorises? :P
That would be annoying.
-
ohhhhh... it looks like theyre moving it out of the loading bay/ whereever.. But where could they be taking it?
-
The loris army wants to use it.
-
... for eeeeevil purposes :o
-
*backs away slowly*
"B-b-borvil? I know you're t-there. It's me, Skye. L-look, it doesn't have to end this way...."
Bovirl: *hiss* *snarl*
Me: "O-okay then. If you're c-certain"
*runs for life*
-
O.o We're all doomed....
-
*Shotgun pump*
That depends....
-
*gasps* You would shoot a loris?!
-
If it attacked me, yes!
Didn't you see the killer rabbit in Monty Python and The Holy Grail?!
-
Hmm, you have a point there....
-
*Machinegun pump*
That's my point...
-
Sheesh, you and your guns... ::)
-
*draws claymore*
That's not all!!
-
Well then you and your weapons in general. :P
-
;)
-
I love the killer rabbit! "I'm telling you! That rodent has a vicious streak a mile wide!"
-
::) vicious.
-
I love the killer rabbit too but my favorite part of the movie is the communist peasant.
In case you guys haven't discovered I'm a Monty Python fan with all of the rubbish I post about them. XD
-
I have a goddamn puppet of that rabbit. ;D
I think I may have got you beat...
JK, I haven't even seen it and my dad works in theater and brough it home. But still, it's pretty epic.
-
You've never seen it! :o Do you mean the movie or the clip of the rabbit? Well, here it is with fake Scottish accents and all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmu5sRIizdw
And here's my favorite part of the movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAaWvVFERVA). Though I actually like the TV show better, I have the whole Flying Circus on DVD, all 16 discs of "anarchic lunacy."
-
I'd have to say my favorite part is when they first meet the French, and Sir Gallahad says: "What a strange person..."
-
I love the killer rabbit too but my favorite part of the movie is the communist peasant.

"Help help! I'm being oppressed!" Is that the one?
-
I'll answer...
Aye, that's the one!
-
Oh I love that movie.
-
My favourite part will always be the part with the witch... "She turned me into a newt!" "A newt?" ".... I got better...." :D
-
"What is...the capital of Asyria?"
"A- I don't know that!!"
-
I love the credits in the beginning. With the subtitles and everything.
-
"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"
-
"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"
"I fffart in your general direction!" ;D
*in awe* "Camelot!"
"Camelot!"
"Camelot!"
"It's only a model."
"Shhh!"
BARKING BRILLIANT MOVIE
-
*In Camelot, dancing and singing.*
*Flips to skinny old prisoner chained to the wall clapping*
:D
Love that part!!
-
That's it. I'm going to watch it again. See ya'll in a few hours.
-
Good Idea!!
-
That is quality entertainment.

I'm torn between 2 and 4!!
-
I wanted 3 until I saw 4 XD so I voted 4
-
*has a feeling 4 is going to win*
-
yah i voted 4
-
I voted for number 2. Just to be different. Plus, I still want to see what that "storm" is! But I think it's obvious 4 is going to win.... Is it July 1st yet?! :D
-
There's just so much going on in 4! There are beasties in the water but what looks like a Clanker airship in the sky, and what are they doing on a boat anyway?
-
Three. We already know what a kappa is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_(folklore)
-
Yeah, well we know what a behemoth is, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behemoth) and a leviathan. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan) Who knows what this could be? I think it's definitely Japanese though, because the kappa is from Japanese mythology.
-
I voted two - just because four will probably just be a beastie shot, and we can already see one.
We've seen the creature in 3 already - it's the creature from Secrets in the Rookery.
-
Is this going on right now?!
-
Yeah, on the blog
-
Yes, I voted #2. That one seems the most intriguing...
-
Had to go with Number 1....
-
I voted number 4....simply because Kappas are amazing.
Yup.
-

But a comentary made me think, what about deryn's mouth, maybe a key to something lays on that picture and the black dots can be easely connected form there if there is a face.
-
for my birthday you guys should vote for the last one... ;D
-
Random question... What is all of your favorite picture revealed so far? I loved the one a few weeks ago with the loris.
-
Definitely the "Crashing a Bash" one. I know it was just a prank, but seriously, Volger facepalm = epic win. :D
-
Crashing a Bash. That one was epic win. XD
-
FTW!
-
I was torn between 3 and 4, but everyone else wanted 4, so I ended up choosing 3. I like to be different... :)
-
I chose 4 coz it looked awesome!
-
I chose two..
just because I like storms (:
and we already got some pictures of beasties.
-
I liked that i was gunn pick that but i saw the last one i had to go for that one
-

-
I missed all this because I was going to ban myself from the internet yesterday and today until I finished my July 4 dress, which I started on over a month ago. XD Well, at least I have a new dress. ;D
Anyway, I voted Number two, because that was my second choice from a lot of the earlier ones, and one of the *spoiler* reviews mentioned something similar, and I wanted to know if it might be that... ;) Still, I guess kappas will be cool. I don't think that picture will have much Alek or Deryn in it, though, and beasties are normally only important in context. And I vote for pictures based on likelihood of AlekxDeryn. ;D

You made a dress. How FABULOUS! Can you post a picture?
And yes, you use pretty much my exact tactic for picture choosing - rating likelihood of Alek or Deryn being involved :P
-
I voted for #4…
-
It's quite obvious that #4 going to win. I'm disappointed, but uber excited at the same time ;D
-
:D

OKay!!!!!!!!!

He locked the poll, though. :'(
Wonder when he's gonna post...
-
Damn, kappas. You scary.
-
he posted it its number 4
-
Hmm...no Deyrn or Alek....but do I see Leviathan cruising overhead? I believe I do...
-
One word....awesome!
-
IKR!!!!
-
Hmm...no Deyrn or Alek....but do I see Leviathan cruising overhead? I believe I do...
wait it's not the Leviathan cuz it doesn't have a tail and if you look at it the umm texture I guess isn't the same. I think it's like a Clanker blimp
-
it does look more like a blimp
-
Oh, oops. Well, Scott did say the Goliath was a Clanker machine. Maybe it's the Goliath?!
-
I have a feeling that Goliath will be much cooler than that. 8)
-
*spoiler, I think. *
I was pretty sure the Goliath was the Telsa weapon? I think this was comfirmed by a spoilery review.
-
Oh...whatever. I'm just trying to figure out why that would be an illustration. You guys gotta stop proving me wrong. ;D
-
it....
is a blimp
-
And I always thought a kappa was a type of vegetable...guess Chinese supermarkets wrongly labeled them XD
-
lol
-

The reveal is excitingly disturbing. Shame about the lack of characters we know and love, but DAMN it's awesome anyway.
Would we assume the kappas are attacking Germans??

or just attacking them
-
both the kappas and the lizard thing running in front of alek and deryn in the first pic both look sort of...skelatal...
-
they do?
-
well i dont know if its just like the mussles, but to me they look like they have skeleton traits.but it could just be my imagination.
-
*shrugs*
-
You know, they are kinda like I always imagined Katniss's monsters in Mockingjay. You know, the ones that smell like roses. Except that those ones were on there hind legs.
Now I know what a kappa is! I did a small project on Japanese religion, but I forgot to mention those. Thanks Scott!
-
It's awesome! Not a whole lot of opportunity for speculation, but still awesome! Really actiony. I wonder what they're attacking...
-
My drama queen side tells me that the Germans have taken Alek captive, and the Levi crew recruits the Japanese navy for their sick army. That's what's gonna happen in my fanfic, except without the Japan thing.
WARNING. This is not an actual theory, and should not be taken seriously.
-
roger that
-
If only if only...
-
Well, it's only ten or eleven days to the next picture reveal... ;D That's exciting, right?
I'd like to see some of the others that lost in the polls, actually.
-
samo samo
-
Grrr im not here................
-
I'd like to catch a glimpse of one of the new characters!! Or Volger. I don't think we've seen Volger in a reveal yet.
-
Hmmmm i dont think so.......
-
We saw his moustache.
And possibly his facepalm.
Anyway, next time I'm voting for the thunderstorm one, if it's available. One of the reviews mentioned it as an exciting scene. ;)
-
Yeahhh!!!!!!! i maybe will choose that!
-
We saw his moustache.

What do you reckon it is? The Tesla device??

It is

It's obvious really. What else could it be, and isn't there another pic that looks like it?
http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/teslacannon.html (http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/teslacannon.html)
-
The review that I mentioned actually just said that Deryn and Alek might be topside during a hurricane. (Hope that's not a big spoiler for anyone) But I guess it could be a Tesla cannon...
Anyway, for those of you who don't read Scott's blog, io9.com (http://www.io9.com/) will be handling the picture reveal on the 1st, and they might be a bit more prompt than Scott at reveals since they are, after all, a news publication. Last year they did the big picture of the elephant walker, so I've got my finger's crossed for another wide shot. Maybe... :D
-
A hurricane? With Alek and Deryn topside? *shivers with excitement* Yesyesyesyesyesyes!
-
SWEET! That will be really cool.
-
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!
-
You know what I just realized? After today's art reveal we only have one more (september's) then we'll have the book! It's getting so close!!
-
is the picture up yet?
I cant find it. . . . :'(
-
I'm going to check later. The reveals are often late, so...
-
I hope it comes out before I have to go to work....
-
Its coming out on a different site... But it's being difficult >:(
-
Grr.. I can't work on my research paper because I keep wanting to go to the site and refresh. I even did a search, but all I can find is the old picture reveal and I learned about the new Uglies graphic novel (Yeah, I kind of miss things... XD)
-
There's gonna be an Uglies graphic novel? Huh.
I'm doing the same thing. I've been refreshing that page obsessively for about two hours now. :P
-
Ah! It's still not out yet. I've been obsessing the entire day xD
-
So im not the ony one that can't find it. That makes me feel a little better
-
Waiting for it in CHINA.......
-
Not sure if you knew this but its on a different website
http://www.io9.com/ (http://www.io9.com/)
Here
-
Wow! xD you're 12 hours ahead/behind us in the US.
(I have family in China....and I can never remember if they are ahead of us or behind xD)
-
I'm here for summer vacation only XD
It's ahead here! And are you Chinese-North American too? I'm Chinese-Canadian.
-
No, but my stepmother is Chinese and we skype a lot with her family. They live in Chengdu (: Her niece (so...my step-cousin xD) just came over to America to go to college and improve her English, and she is living with us. It's really cool.
-
Kool~
I'm full Chinese and all my family is living in far North-Eastern China~
-
That's really cool :o Especially that you get to visit it over the summer.
-
Yerp, every other year! Trust me, the food is undescribable here XD
-
IS IT UP YET?!?!?!?
and yes, I know it is on a different site.
-
Don't think so
-
Yerp, every other year! Trust me, the food is undescribable here XD
whoahhhh :o Where I live it hasn't actually rained for like a week and a half. what's it like?
IS IT UP YET?!?!?!?
and yes, I know it is on a different site.
NO :(
-
Constant clouds, rarely sunshine. Storms every single week, at least once. At least where I am in China.
-
:'(
-
Constant clouds, rarely sunshine. Storms every single week, at least once. At least where I am in China.
Wow. It's the exact opposite here.
At least you have internet!!! and US. *smiles creepily*
-
*Backs away slowly*
-
lol, just kidding.
-
I know.
Bad thing about the internet here is that Youtube is blocked, and I can only watch Hetalia with Chinese subs xD
-
Maybe they will post it tommorrow... it looks like they might be done with news posts for today. :(
-
Yeah...you don't have Youtube, Facebook, or Google do you? :(
-
Youtube, no. Facebook, no. Google? HECK YEAH!
-
oh GOOD YOU HAVE GOOGLE!!!! I was so worried for you. But the absence of Facebook and Youtube can totally be offset by Google.
Not sure how I could survive without google.
-
Can you even call it living if there's no Google?
-
I've TRIED to use other search engines, like ask or bing, but I just.....can't.
-
oh GOOD YOU HAVE GOOGLE!!!! I was so worried for you. But the absence of Facebook and Youtube can totally be offset by Google.
Not sure how I could survive without google.
I go on Google.ca, but China does have a google engine.
-
Good, good. *sigh of relief* I can stop worrying about you then (:
-
Worry about my sanity when I can't find subtitles that I can actually read! XD
I CAN'T READ TRADITIONAL CHINESE! I only know a limited amount of simplified Chiense!
-
Oh no xDD That must be really frustrating.
-
Well I this is not a very good way for either the last or next to last art reval to happen.
-
XDDDD
-
lol....at least we are having fun talking.
-
Yup, and nearly noon here!
-
Its nearly midnight for me
-
Yay for 12 hour differences!
-
They always make me giggle
-
Time differences confuse me....xD
-
same
-
AND JET LAG!
-
I wouldn't know. I've never left my timezone
-
i have it ets realy confusing
-
OMG I know.
In June, I left on a trip to go to Spain....
and so I experienced this really weird time warp. Because I got on the plane when it was still light out, and even though it was night the place where I left, it was daytime in Spain.... we flew fast enough to BEAT the darkness O.O So I had this really long 36 hour day xD
-
I don't think it would be for me. I read a lot of stories with time travel.
-
It was day when I left China, it was day when I was flying for 13 hours, it was day when I landed.
-
I got SO CONFUSED. Because it was like I lived one day twice as long as it actually should have been.
-
Same with time travel
-
I guess I could never time travel, then.
It made me think things like:
"Have I lived LONGER than everyone else back at home because I had this super long day?"
-
I guess I could never time travel, then.
It made me think things like:
"Have I lived LONGER than everyone else back at home because I had this super long day?"
Actually, the hours are just the same, it's your perception of time that your brain has processed then warped.
-
Sorry I am a little obsessed with time travel. Well my favorite season of Charmed had lots of time travel.
Also I have this idea where Deryn and Alek from the books meet Deryn and Alek in the future and future Deryn is all like 'Im a girl and im married to you' and than past Alek passes out.
-
Ach. Time is confusing xD But that makes sense.
-
I just realized something very important...
-
What?
-
"Don’t forget, the next art reveal will be hosted by io9.com. So check in with them throughout the day next Monday, August 1."
It was on the blog DX
-
Well for me it is now August 2. SO SCOTT LIED. Or the 1o9 people messed up. Either way I IZ ANGRY.
-
IKR!!!!!!
-
The site is mean
-
IKR
-
I don't really like that site right now...
-
>:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
I don't thunk they want an agry me either...
-
Y u no like?
-
Hm?
-
I don't really like that site right now...
I was asking why you didn't like the site in really simple lazt text talk
-
I need my picture release! But I don't hate/dislike it... Just not very happy with it... Though I'm sure they're just late :P
-
Oh you ment 1o9.com I thought you were talking about the westerfourm
-
OH NO!!!!! I see... No I love this place!
-
OTAY I get it now
-
Tjats good :D
-
They did a freaking roundup for today AND TO LEVI PICTURES http://io9.com/5826804/io9-roundup-august-1-2011
-
You mean no Levi pictures? 'Cause I'm not seeing any... ^^;
-
That's cool!
-
Yeah I ment no Levi pictures, I just sent in a comment on there. Its pending approvial. Well I need to go read the Cracked articals from yesterday so I am just going to have to give up until I wake up. I hope Scott notices that the picture isn't up and gets in contact with the website. Wait I am going to see is Keith might have it over in his blog, but probably not.
-
Oh look at what I found http://beyondvictoriana.com/2011/07/24/84-walkers-whales-wwi-oh-my-an-interview-with-keith-thompson-illustrator-behind-the-leviathan-trilogy/
-
Oh, that's cool! I don't think I've ever seen an interview with Keith before! *excitedly goes to read it*
-
That's cool!
-

Heh, I also feel a bit like sending them an e-mail asking them what's up, but it's probably just that they felt that they already had enough "important" news for the 1st (True Blood recap, apparently) and are just waiting until they feel they need it. Last year the picture reveal was given to them as an exclusive, so presumably they will be doing the same this year.
Also, they have definitely gained my readership for yesterday, as every time I would check I would end up spending hours reading their bizarre articles. I need to get a phone alert or something, because I still have 3 pages left on my research paper and it's due today! >:( I blame them!

your still in school?
-
Argh Scott probaby should have mentioned that tidbit of information.
-
I'm in grad school, almost at the end of my second summer semester. One more year, and then I'm out to pay back my student loans. :-\
-
Day 2 no pic
I wonder if it is possible to implode from irritation mixed with antisipation?
-
I think so...
-
Angry angry angry angry angry angry ANGRY!!!
-
Man, and I thought Scott with his "Oh hey, the first is over and I forgot to put something up.. let's make them vote." was bad, ahha.
-
At this point I would prefer that
-
GAH IT'S NEVER GETTING REVEALED!!!
-
Oh noes what if the website people lost it and they have to wait for Scott to get back from vacation to get it :'(
-
*tear*
-
Sorry I am a pessimist
I kinda wish Scott would have had Keith do a reveal since its his art and he probably would have put it up on time
-
Yup.
-
Can someone tell me where to find the link to August Goliath art reveal. I couldn't find it on io9.com.
-
That's 'cause it's not up yet. D:
-
Yeah its not up yet thats what we've been talking about.
Its kinda irritatating
-
:-[
-
Yeah and from what I heard they pulled this last year too.
-
Really? Why'd he use the website again, then? :-\
-
:-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
This sucks... I'm getting impatient.
-
I heard someone say that Scott, or his camp, sell the exclusive rights to the website. So I am guessing the money was enough to make him do it again.
-
Ah
-
That kind of sucks that he didn't force them to put it up yet though.
-
He's on vacation. He probably doesn't know.
-
Him and Justine are just enjoying cocanut drinks while we writhering in agony
-
I must say, io9 is getting many more hits from me than normal.
Of course, that's because I didn't know about them before the FAFF post and I've been refreshing the page every hour...
And I'm probably going to boycott them unless there's a giant apology when they do post the image, if ever.
-
They done the roundup for the 3rd. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
I really don't know how to start a thread over there but on the roundups I would post asking where the art reviel was. (I was clearer than that) and I verified it and they said I would get an email when I was posted and so far no email.
Do they not want word to get out ::)
I really hope Scott is enjoying Hawaii *glare at screen hopeing that Scott can feel my gaze*
-
I must say, between not finding the Magical Quill for pottermore yet and not having the art reveal yet...
This has been and incredibly frustrating week so far.
-
Hey the magic quill still hasn't come out today, so maybe you have a chance!
I'd try around nine to ten central time.
-
My blog keeps getting hits from people searching for 'Goliath scott westerfeld pictures' and other similar search terms. Have any of you guys dropped in by accident? XD
-
I FOUND THE MAGICAL QUILL!!!
I'm officially a member of Pottermore!
Now I just need art.
-
*pulls out hair*
ahhhhhh it's 3 days overdue :(
-
Scott's twitter just said that it will be up at 7pm tonight (I guess?):
ScottWesterfeld
The Goliath art reveal this month goes up 7PM EST, over at http://io9.com. (via @io9)
So, hopefully. :)
-
Oh it better...
-
Yess ONE MORE HOUR
-
Cool!
-
Ten minutes!
-
Finally!
-
Mmmm cant see it yet
-
ITS UP
-
Is anyone able to read the words on the half page picture?
-
Yeah. The words are fake. It's just the beginning of Leviathan.
-
That's just cheap >:(
-
It's better then that gibberish language used most of the time. Besides, be happy with the picture. Most authors wouldn't give us that much.
So we were right about who Hearst is... I like this picture, though I am rather disappointed that it's not the promised one that shows the Levi's tail. D: Still, it's an awesome landscape. :D
-
where isthe picture????
-
http://io9.com/5827884/the-leviathan-comes-to-california-in-new-art-from-scott-westerfelds-goliath (http://io9.com/5827884/the-leviathan-comes-to-california-in-new-art-from-scott-westerfelds-goliath)
-
oh yeah i found i right after i asked
-
::) Hahaha
-
I found it kinda antilimatic. I guess I expected more since we waited so long.
-
I think it's pretty cool. I was expecting a wide landscape shot--and that's what we got. Remember that this is supposed to be a picture to draw in new readers (hence it being on io9 instead of Scott's blog) and not just to please us fans.
We get a lot more spoilers in the text, actually. The Leviathan will be docking at Hearst's mansion/movie studio (where a certain spoiler will probably happen, involving movies), and yes, the Leviathan is BIG. ;D I had actually been hoping for a a shot a bit like this in Behemoth but we didn't get one.
And, did anyone notice the construction walkers working in Hearst's studio? So, walkers can do something besides be war machines. Now, if only there was a tiny picture of Alek and Deryn kissing on the rigging or something and then it would be really awesome. XD
-
YAY IT'S FINALLY UP!!! :D
I can't figure out a way to make it any bigger, though.
BUT YAYYY
-
FINALLY!
I just realized something.......
The Leviathan is really phat...
-
Fat to keep out the bullets. :D
-
Is blubber. ;D
Of course it refuses to load for me....
-
(http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/8/2011/08/goliathtop2.jpg)
That work?
-
Oh yay!!!! :D
Did Scott move the publishing date back? 0o
-
It says Sept 20 in that article thingy... Is that not what it was before?
-
Nah. It's said September 12th...on Amazon and the homepage here for....a long time...Amazons got it at the 20th now though.
-
Apparently the picture is of the Leviathan docked in California somewhere....
San Diego perhaps? :P ;D
-
By anticlimatic I ment that I guess I sort made the thing even more epic in my head, which I tend to do, and what we got sorta didn't live up to monsterous expectations.
-
San Simeon, Piper (The words loaded for me, just not the pic. ::))
-
(http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/8/2011/08/goliathtop2.jpg)
That work?
It's beautiful...
-
Aww, we can't make it any bigger...
If it weren't so awesome I might be bummed at the lack of real words, but as it is, I'm just loving it.
I hope Scott or Keith posts a zoomable image!
So today, I got art AND pottermore!
My week is complete. :D
-
;D

Tomorrow's clue is about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You'll be multiplying a number from the book by 14. (Saturday's clue is from The Deathly Hallows, you'll multiply the number by 7). When you enter http://quill.pottermore.com/correctnumber, you will be taken to a scholastic page about Harry Potter. The quill is in the banner ad at the top of the page, you have to catch the quill and you'll be taken to the registration page. "We can tell you that tomorrow’s clue (Day 6) will be released between 1:30pm and 4.00pm BST, and the final clue (Day 7) will be released between 12:30am and 3:00am BST on Saturday 6 August." (From pottermore insider) Here is a clock for BST (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=136), in case you live in a different time zone. Hope that helps!
And yes, this post has everything to do with Leviathan and art xD
-
What's Pottermore?
A Harry Potter awesome site. It's the only place the ebooks will be available, and it's also a forum/hangout, and we don't know what other epicness. Beta spots are being given away to people who solve clues to find the magical quill this week, Saturday's the last day. it opens in a few weeks or so for us. The site opens to everyone else in October.
Also, I get the feeling since my last post's disappearance that I should stay more on topic?
Sorry...

I AM SO TOTALLY DOING THIS!
-
LiterateChick- Glad I could help! It usually is posted on an hour or half hour, or slightly after one of the two. That's during the allotted time of course.
Also, I can't see your post (or mine) outside of the topic summary. Does this mean it's been blocked or something? Or is my internet just being funky? I'm confused.
Anyhow, if I did something wrong, I apologize to whoever's in charge and blocked it or whoever reported it, I do realize that this is kind of off topic >.<
Could you please contact me if I did do something wrong so I know exactly what not to repeat? Thanks. I've been lurking for awhile, but I just started actually posting...
-
Nah, the forum just glitches out sometimes. I don't think anyone's sure why. *shrugs*
And thanks! :D
-
Ohh, okay. Whew. I was scared there for a minute. I was all "I thought I read everything and such, and I don't think that's bad unless pottermore is stalking the internet and taking down information about access, but that would be overkill D: Maybe it's too off-topic... I should go back to kurking );"
Also, on another pottermore note, MuggleNet's Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/MuggleNet) will also post when the clue is up, so you can set it to tweet to your phone for the time slot and then turn off the phone feature. I have some friends who did that. I just obsessively refreshed on the hour. xD
-
Hmm... If I had Twitter I might do that... I think I'll just take the madly refreshing rout. One of these days I'll be accused of F5 abuse. :P
-
Haha, nice. Also, I discovered colors!
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if mine will show up against the gray.
We shall see.
-
(http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/8/2011/08/goliathtop2.jpg)
That work?
It's amazing!!!!!! But I would have liked a more zoomable version *sigh*
-
*giggles* I can zoom in!
-
Is that the tail or the head I cant tell?
-
Head. The tail would probably look like a regular whale tail. :P
-
Yeah I dont pay attition in science
-
Y'know, like
(http://naturalsciences.org/microsites/education/ecuador/gallery/images/Humpback%20Whale%20Tail.jpg)
-
I think the tail's got rudder panel things on the back...There might be a small 'glimpse' of it in either Leviathan or Behemoth...Saw it somewhere...
-
Yeah I knew what a whle looked like but I don't know what I thought that was
-
Scott said the Goliath had a picture of the tail!!!
-
Yus!!
-

Gosh loves this!
-
I am finally back. Phew, what a busy summer. And ten pages later, we only have one more picture. The Leviathan doesn't look very healthy to me. Kinda sunken.
-
Really? Hmmm...
I wonder where they've landed.
-
California. I forgot the exact location.
-
It's Hearst's mansion and movie studio. Where Alek and Deryn will play in Hearst's movie as actors.
-
Apparently the art reveal for this month was put up early then taken down. Did anyone by chance see it?
-
i think i saw it but i don't remember it. DX
-
There's a link on the Countdown thread.
-
I saw it early this morning....IT WAS REALLY AWESOME
http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ch26_full.jpg
^ here is the link, as copied from my ipod where I left it up...
It's from chapter 26.
EPIC
(http://scottwesterfeld.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ch26_full.jpg)
-
did you see the caption?
the walker shoots deryn
-
If it's chapter 27. this is after
SPOILER
Alek knows her secret. If she gets injured, he may have to work to keep her under wraps. O.o
-
awsome! kinda sowhen is he saposed to work it out?
-
The phrase "The walker shoots Deryn" has been in my head all day.
-
what if she gets hurt??????????
-
Something Mulan-esque? xD
-
no alek will have to help her what if he finds out ets mmad ignores her then she gets hurt and he realizes he does care and saves her!!!
-
According to spoiler review, Alek finds out around chapter 11.
-
i know which chapter im reading first.... jkjk
-
Oh goodness when I reach that chapter I'm going to freak out.
-
*Breathes in* AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IT'S AWESOME! LOVE THE WING THINGIES THAT DERYN'S WEARING OH MEIN GOTT THERE'S ONLY A FEW DAYS UNTIL THE RELEASE OF GOLIATH OMG YESYESYESYESYESYES!
*Breathes again*
-
I love those cacti in the back. ;D
-
I love those cacti in the back. ;D
MEXICO!
-
WOOPWOOP. Or maybe...it's....MARS. :o
-
Mars don't have cacti
-
Or do they? Your mind has been blown.
-
THEY DON'T BUT THEY DO WHEN THEY DON'T. THEY HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE AND THEY DON'T HAVE WHAT THEY DON'T XD
-
Now you have just enhanced my life.
-
I think the thing on the walker looks like a camera, not a gun. i mean, you can get shot by a camera. . . .
-
Ah...good observation. 8)
-
I agree, it looks like there is a camera on top of the walker.
-
*Starts to sweat*
18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!! 18 Days!!!
*Dies*
-
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
I think the thing on the walker looks like a camera, not a gun. i mean, you can get shot by a camera. . . .
YAY! CLANKERS BUILT GIANT WAR MACHINES JUST TO TAKE PICTURES! YAY!
-
well im glad someone agrees with me. . . I showed my friend and she argued with me. . .
I thought maybe i was taking it wrong or something. . . :D
-
Your idea does make sense though. That huge thing on top can't be a gun and if not, it can't have been designed to blow up middies. It's either a cannon or camera and the picture title said "shoots Deryn" and Scott said Deryn doesn't die in Goliath. But then again, she could make some miraculous escape.
-
Oh Gee. If that things taking photos, Eddie's in it.
-
very true.
haha, he can now really be agressive when getting peoples photos.
let me take your picture or i will stomp you with my giant photo walker!!!
-
EXACTLY. XD
-
It might be part of Hearst's movie...maybe...I said maybe...I don't have an ARC... :(
-
I think its a camera as well. Possibly a surveillance walker? If Deryn actually got shot from something that big, think of how big the bullets must be. and if the walker does have a gun and not a camera, I bet Deryn will use her awesomeness and jump off the cliff at the very last second ^^
What an art reveal! I can't wait!
-
I saw it early this morning....IT WAS REALLY AWESOME

Is that the Tunguska event? Or is it the desert in Mexico? (I'm trying to work out if the things falling over are trees or cacti.)
-
They look like cacti...but they could be leaf-less trees... :o
-
Nah, when you look closely you can see little needles.
-
CACTI, WEEE ;D

Kick it's @ss Deryn! 8)

If it IS, in fact, a camera, i am completely whipping my original post out to show my friend who insisted it was a gun. a sort of "i told you so" moment. :D
-
I thought maybe it's a telescope
-
It just seems a little over the top to make a giant walker to carry around a little camera. It could also be a movie prop, with a camera on it disguised as a gun.
Anyway, I'm excited to see what it really is in 18 days. ;D
