It’s a day for extraordinary fan art.
First off, here’s an explosive and painterly version of the cover of Uglies, by Refrigerate Kate.
And in a darker and more manga-licious vein, a rendering of Moz from The Last Days, remixed with the peeps parasite itself. Brought to you by Freed Wings.
Me, I’m just sitting around writing Leviathan these days. One day soon (like, really early next year) I’ll have some actual news about that.



wow, those are really fawsome!! i like how they fused moz with the parasite
I love the first one. At first, when I glanced at it, I thought it was grafitti maybe on a brick building somewhere; that would be cool.
Yaay! Today is my last day of school!!!!…until next year 😉
that is so awesome. ive never read the last days so the second one didnt really make any sense but that first one is amazing. *stares in wonder*
u just keep up that work on levithan scott-la. im kinda enjoying the abscence of book insanity and just some totally randomness. speaking of levithan, i got a book by him [David Levithan] the other day @ the library. its call “are we there yet” i havent started reading it (im currently reading a book by john green). i was at the library and i saw it (“are we there yet” not the book by john green) and i was like “hmmm…levithan…where have i heard that before…. OH YA!!” and i remembered that u named ur new book after him so i figured he must’ve been a good writer if you were gonna name ur book after him. any ways keep up the good work, i know its gonna be awesome.
o and also POST MORE FAN ART! i personally luv it (and im not too good at it so… ya)
they are deff fawesome
I like the Uglies picture! And the one of Moz is cool, too. But they’re both fawesome! Hm… I wish I was good at drawing and painting and stuff.
1st off: WOAH!!!!!!! Dis is my first time that I’ve been on since the change. O_O (yeah I know, I’m slow, but we’ve been X-mas shopping)
2nd off: WOAH!!!!!!! Dat is fawesome pictures! I love manga/anime. Wish I could draw like that. *wistful sigh* But alas, I can not. I yuv it sooooooomuch!!!
Oh, in case it wasn’t obvious, I LOVE THE NEW LAYOUT!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3,<3<3<3<3
humph. i want news now. humph. i also want more Hiro chapters. *sigh*.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😐
Excellent art. Wonderful books to inspire.
Scott, I’m captured by your books!!! Keep writing.
That is some awesome fanart.
Can’t wait to hear about Leviathan!!!!
uh…..wow……just wow……These pictures are very……..um…….Interesting? Okay, okay I find them quiet disturbing but that’s me…….oh well…….they’re still good….
Scott! I just sent you some midnighters fan art today, so check your mail! 😀
Also, I really like these covers. I haven’t read Last Days yet, so I don’t know much about the character drawn there, but I really like the cover for Uglies. The painting mixed with the graffiti art in the back works well.
Wow, I’m impressed! I wonder if they’ll do anything else?
why do you never post any of my fanart, scott-la? i did an uber-awesome portrait of all the midnighters at lunch, and i totally sent it to you. you should check fanmail more. i drew this great tithe fanart picture yesterday. had much purple plaid.
want…levithan news…very…badly…
love both of those pieces…love the spiky letters and awesome hair on the first one, and the uber-fawesome color scheme on the second. moz rox.
crap, my school is being all stupid and moronic and blocking EVERYTHING. like, google and LJ and the HQ and the blocker sites. it’s way stupid.
aaaakkk! my stupid school blocked Westerblog too, and it kicked me off. it blocked EVERYTHING, except google (but you couldn’t click on anything)
Wow, amazing artwork!!
Yay, school’s almost out for the holidays!
🙂
~Issy
Mmmm.. yummy art…
I feel sorry for the people that have school this week. losers.
I haven’t forgotten about Star Wars quotes. Just haven’t gotten any yet. So I’m going from memory.
“Are you an angel?” ~ Anakin
you. suck.
i have school all week.
and it sucks.
ugh!! what?! u dont hav school allie-wa! tomorow is my last day but still, i had to survive all FOUR days! o well. tommorrow we r walking down to this giant theater to see the movie elf (in school) YAY!
my school blocked google images. it sux. some retards were looking up porn or something. so they blocked google images. 🙁
wow, we watched elf in french class today. in english. with the latin teacher subbing in for the absente french teafcher.
my school still had google images, but it blocked wikipedia. stupid.
That is really cool fan art. I love the uglies book cover. Id buy the book…………….just for the cover. Okay maybe for the book tooo! I never really imagined Moz like that but its cool. Love it!
I am finall dome with midterms!
We watched the drinch stoll Christmas in class. Funny stuff.
those are really good, the uglies one is fawesome!
ok sorry for everyone that is reading this comment, cuz its just me venting, bad day….very bad day. 🙁 I had this test in my science class and it was a fairly big test that counted for a lot of my grade, and i think i failed it. 🙁 ok well maybe not failed but came darn close…i got really confused on some parts that the teacher never even talked about or told us to study so i was like lost….and today was the last day of school until 2008…which is happy, except that means that awful science test will be haunting me until i come back in Janurary to find out what i got. i also forgot to turn in my yearbook money so i may not get a yearbook and to top it all off i didn’t get my moms container back from my english teacher(we got to eat food and watch a movie in my english class today…it was the only good part of my day) so my mom is going to be mad at me. then, in p.e. we had to go skating *bleh* i hate skating. i got painful blisters, it was retarted and it made us late for lunch. well i don’t remember what else happend but it was just not a good day. 🙁 sorry for the venting.. and the negativeness…. usually im not like this.
i wish i could draw like that!!!
my last day of school isnt until friday. stupid 5 day week
Same here —
And tomarrow I have a Bio. Test !! Ugg…..
LAST test, I got this one question wrong. They said to lable the parts of the plant cell and I REALLY thought it was pointing to the little stuff inside the Nucleus (Cromatin ) But NO… it was just the nucleus. Well KILL ME FOR BEING MORE SPECIFIC !
I really need an A on this test, so I should be studing…….. now…..
“Put your head in the pocket that feed you, you might not get it out.”
lol. No school this week or next week for me. Not going back to school til January 2nd. 🙁 Too close. This week should pass by slower! Can’t wait til Christmas!!!!! Getting a new iPod…black, 8 GB. :)))))
Santa Clause is bringing it! lol.
i hate bio! i have a test on friday.
HAHA.
You suckers have school. I am free for the next 3 weeks XD
They are both good. The first one though, i figured Shay was a blonde. Tally definatly would have had dark hair to me. But i guess tis my opinion.
Anyone else see her dark haired?
And the clothes seem a bit dated for Tally…
But still. Your both fawesome at art (:
I might do something. Send it in….Am not very good. But still (:
Can’t believe you people have tests at Christmas… =P
Alisha-La xx
the clothes are sort of odd.
i imagined tally’s hair as pretty light though—like ono the real cover.
have i mentioned that i HATE all you people with long vacations? i’ve only got the week of christmas off, and then come back january 2nd.
today was our last day so from now until January 3rd we have off. and then like a week after that we get a few more days off b/c it’ll be the end of the semester.
WOOOOOOOOO! i just got out of scool today! no scool til january 3!
fawesome fanart by the way…
our scool has been blocking all the blogs and chat sites and….everything since like…forever. it stinks.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 🙁
That picture for Uglies is pretty creapy-making; but cool though. 🙂
I like the one of Moz. I need to read that book again….
i made some fan art how do i send it to u scott-la
SCOTT-LA
well it isnt finished, but when it is ill send it to u

Woo! comment #39!
omg those are so beast!!!! they really amke me wish i could draw!!! im so jelous.its not fair
wow i meant make***
hehe. i cant draw people. or dogs. or cats. or horses. or anything living. except birds and fish. i can draw birds and fish. oh yeah…
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛
i love fanart. i love looking at fanart. i love drawing fanart.
you should post more fanart, scott-la. you should post some of my fanart. it’s prettymoful.
why does everyone get longer breaks than me?????!
why??!!!!
and after the break, there’s no time off til like, forever. just sad little Martin Luther King Jr Day, all off on it’s lonesome in january.
poor Serafina-la. we shood all pray for you.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀
you should.
i probably get more summer or something though.
completely amazing!!! i totally can’t draw or paint, so anyone who can automatically earns my respect!
fanart rocks. when it’s done good. i can’t draw, though. I can draw good things sometimes. rarely.
omg. omg. I get my SAT scores tomorrow. You can’t imagine how nervous-making it is to know that your future will be known tomorrow! ok, so I”m being a little overdramatic. But just a little.
It’s anxious-making, too, waiting to get them (yes, anxious and nervous are different. read A Series of Unfortunate Events.)
They will be on collegeboard’s website in my account. I think. If I have an account. If I don’t I have to wait til they go out in the mail…then I won’t get them til January!!!!
pray for me!!!!! lol.
hey Allie-wa…arent you in seventh grade? hhhmmm…i guess you can take sats in as a sevy. but i dont wanna.
hehe. on Scott-las fact page people are recommending that he get a restraining order against me. i have no idea why…
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
lol. sevy.
Yeah, I’m in 7th grade. But they let you take the SAT in 7th grade. but not 8th. then you take the PSAT. which makes no sense…why take the SAT before the PSAT(practice sat)? I think you can go the collegeboard.com and get information about it. but idk. I think your district has to provide the stuff. And you have to pay and…wow. It’s really stupid to take the sat in 7th grade.
This year doesn’t really count but still…I want to see how I did! only 4 hours and 32 minutes until tomorrow! omg. omg. omg.
Funny thing is I have 2 older brothers and neither of them have taken the SAT. lol.
I can’t wait to see how I did…as you can imagine.
Oh boy! $ hours and 30 minutes!
those are amazing pics…..
MY NEXT SCREENSAVER!!!!!
i am in 7th too. but I’m wont get to take the SAT i will have to take the PSAT next year. the school system wont let me tae it this year because i in all of the extra help classes in elementary. (i just was lazy. really lazy) but now i have a 3.9 gpa average. so it made my mom really mad when they said i couldn’t. so next year. but i cant wait too prove that i would have been able too take the SAts this year.
love the cover. i would do some fan art but it wouldn’t look good…
well i think i will any way…
talk later.
bbfn
Bye bye for now
sophie-la
word :0
i took the SAT in 7th grade. it was weird… me and a bunch of high-schoolers. (of course my friend Orin was there, but he was on the other side of the room.)
my school is weird, i dont get to take the PSATs untill high school. but there is an IQ test, a writing test, the OAS (i dont know what that is), another test that has the word Iowa in it, and the end of the year test. i hate all these tests!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah. Test suck. I’ve never had an IQ test, tho. Sounds interesting. 😛
For me, my test is the PACT. Palmetto achievement challenge test. 😛 I think like a 6th of my school failed it. Which is sad cause it’s so easy.
OMG I love the new look of the site!! Its so pretty!!!!!
I dont know how you people can say Twilight is bad. It is awesome. I love it, i love Edward, hes cool, and he sounds…….pretty!
OMG! art projects/global essays/english essays/extensive math homework/marathon science tests WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!!! seriously. i haven’t go to bed earlier than 12:30 A.M. in the past 2 weeks (the latest was 4 A.M. and i wake up at six). but i’m better now.
it’s been far, far too long…so now i’m gonna say all of the comments that i have on every post that’s been put up since i went missing.
~Gregory Maguire! hey! i just saw wicked like 2 weeks ago! it rawked!
~WHY DID I HAVE TO MISS THE HEATED DEBATE?!
~consider the podcasts downloaded.
~haha, well i knew we were gonna go overboard on the commenting someday…too bad i wasn’t here for it!
~i heart the new look! justine must be a major techie…
~i didn’t picture johnathan looking quite like he does on the cover, but i certainly didn’t picture rex looking like that! so yeah, it seemed to resemble flyboy more than rex to me.
~man these amazingly skilled artists astound me more and more every day. and then my art teacher has to go and ruin it by pointing out any and all flaws.
My art teacher doesn’t point out the flaws, she erases them. I made this bunny (it was cute) and she made the ears really long and made me put these mountains in the background. It was ugly, it made it look like a deformed bunny.
ok, now for all the non-blog-post-related stuff.
~hanukkah is so much better than christmas. sorry to you all, but like, one gift? each night? for eight nights? talk about suspense! of course , i already knew what most of them were since i picked them out…
~i take the PSAT next year. but i took the SAT last year. so that’s kinda weird…but the SAT wasn’t connected w/ the school, while the PSAT scheduled for next year is.
~my xmas break is usually one week , but this year they decided to make it TWO! it rocks! yeah, our last day is friday, and then i give my friends their gifts and my homeroom secret santa person theirs.
~ALLIE-WA! i’m sure your scores will be fexcellent. at least unless you used that word in the essay…
~never had an IQ test. the school doesn’t give them, so i’m not paying for one.
my art teacher doesn’t much believe in erasing, which horrifies me, the compulsive eraser. but yeah, i’ll show her something awesome i found off the internet and she’ll be like “they should have changed this. and elongated that…” etc, etc, etc.
That thing for Uglies is SO COOL! I absolutely love how Tally’s standing in the feild of the plague-flowers! It’s sooo fawesome. I really really super like that.
And the think of Moz is like… exactly how I pictured him, minus the scary parasitic arm. Which is weird, but totally really fawesome! I really really like them, like… a whole whole lot.
So, I thought I lost my Uglies book, right? And then I got t school, and what do you know, right outside the Band hall was a random chair with my Uglies book sitting on it. Unfortunately, this chair was outside, and my Uglies book was already it pretty bad worn condition. So It was soaking wet. And first, the first half of the book fell out of the cover and was like a seperate book, kinda. And so I gave it to my friend to read it [to LOVESSS it, by the way, and she hasn’t even gotten to the part where Shay leaves] and I finished my 7th read on it, with the second half, since I was already near the end. And then… the second half fell out of the cover too. So now I have the secon half and the cover, and Richa has the first half, and I blow dried my half which took like an hour, and my pages all crinkled :/
OMG! i can’t believe i almost forgot!
my spanish teacher completely screwed up my 1st quarter average (she said it was a 97, when i had all 100s except for a 95 quiz, a 102 quiz, and a 97 participation. so i’m quiet, shoot me!) so yeah. i called her out on it b/c i calculated it myself using her special format (you know, 40% this, 25% that, etc.) and came up with 99.6, which would have rounded up to a 100 on my report card. and then i redid it 5 times, and came up with the same thing! so i wrote down all my work, and showed her it. she didn’t (still doesn’t) believe me, but she isn’t good with numbers and has the computer do it so i think she entered something in there incorrectly.
i can’t believe that, with the string of 100s, she seriously thought that the calculation was correct. she said she’d go to a math teacher “if it would make me feel better.” so i said “ok that’s great.” and hopefully, unless there’s some hidden zero in there, they’ll correct her and the flawed grade. but she even printed out the list of my 1st quarter grades, and i didn’t see any grades on there that surprised me. she said she’ll get back to me tomorrow.
i totally don’t mean to sound conceited or “braggadocious” (oh yeah drake & josh), but spanish is like my best subject. like that’s the grade that offsets my P.E. grade! i need it high! and a 100 would have helped my average big time! like my first quarter average was down a point from last year (but then again, so was everyone’s–if not more). only four people made principal’s list, and i may be one of them but it doesn’t mean making it higher wouldn’t help! grrrr…no me se gusta. we haven’t even learn about that sort of phrasing yet so i probably messed it up. but at least i know about it.
also the whole “half cuban” thing exudes a lot of pressure to excel in the subject.
yeah, still sounding conceited. lo siento mucho. gonna go study now.
Awesome art. 😀
Gah! I want Leviathan news! Like… soon. O_O Haha.
ummm…yeah. i usually don’t contest A+s.
been wondering where you were, Taylor-wa.
i’m in ninth grade and have never taken the SAT. what’s all you people’s collective problems? not that there’s anything WRONG with that, it’s just…yeah.
reading I’d Tell You I Love You, But ect. it’s okay. not really my thing. just got a shipment of books from the library. started War For The Oaks too, much more my taste. especially right now, as i am in a highly punkish mood.
Oh wow, ^^ that is slightly bizarre, to get a 97 average if you’ve been scoring consistent 100’s? Hope it all gets cleared up for you. That’s scary though, a perfect score. Bet you have an amazingly high average in spite of PE.
Chrismuhkkah totally is more… compromis-ive (if that’s a word?). (From the OC…in which there’s a Taylor 🙂
yes, but at Christmas you get lots and lots of presents all at once! i suck at waiting 🙂
and with so many relatives, it stretches out over a couple days anyway.
dude, SCOTT-LA. you’re totally a finalist for an Aurealis Award. congrats! Extras for best YA novel. coolness. dude, didn’t you win one of those already? have odd memory there. still honor-making.
hmmm…life is starting to make no sense. i think i need to go to sleep.
hehe. i have a 4.105 GPA. hehe. i wood totally pass the sats. but my scool district doesnt offer them til high scool. *sigh*. hehe. not that i WANNA take them or anything….
hehe. i came up with this phrase that everyone in the sevy honors class uses now:
Happy Christmakanika, and a Merry New Year!
catchy huh? chrismas, kwanza, hanika (i no thats not how you spell it), and new year all rolled into one!
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀
I have no idea what my GPA is. High, I’d suppose, as I get A’s. But I’m taking the tenth grade WASL (oh, it’s Evilness) this year. Hopefully I will pass it all and only have to take the science portion next year. For people who don’t know what the WASL is… it is an evil standardized test in WA. Bleh.
The first time I read Pretties, I didn’t like it nearly as much as I liked Uglies. And now I’m rereading Pretties since I finished rereading Uglies… and it’s a LOTT better than I ever gave it credit for. It’s seriously amazing. And I guess Zane is a little fooler than I thought. He’s still no David, though. I wish he had gone and kidnapped her from prettiness instead of making Croy leave it there!
UGHHHHHHHHHH!
Cool fanart! I love the first one. I’m in 8th grade and we took that act test which is like the sat but not. And we do need more chapters from Hiro and levithan updates cuz im going to run out of books soon.
Love the fanart…
wow its weird that you guys are taking the SAT as seventh graders. i still haven’t taken mine and im a freshman. the school system doesn’t provide it so i don’t take it. i don’t take the PSAT until next year as a sophomore. we take the ITBS Test which are these really retarded test, most the people fail them b/c they don’t even try. like when we took them this fall people were talking during the entire test and my teacher didn’t do anything about it so i couldn’t consentrate and so i probably did really bad.
I agree with Serafina Zane Christmas is wayyy better than Hanukah.
I’m getting like $80 worth in books for Christmas 😀 I’m getting…
-The Last Days!!
-A Private Collection–my first boxed set! yay!
-Into the Wild
…umm…there was like 4 more but i can’t remember which ones they were…i think they were adventure/survival novels…love those books!
more hiro chapters would be good.
finally, someone else who hasn’t taken the SAT by freshman year!
had something to say…totally forgot it.
woo!! i randomly won a signed copy of Devilish!
merry christmas to me…my mail is full of random signed books coming.
where are you guys from anyway? I’v never heard of SAT or PSAT’s in my life. In W.A we have TEE (terciary enterance somthin) and thats only for yr 11 an 12’s.
I think I take the PSAT next year? As a sophmore? I dislike tests. >.<
I’m from WA…
I’m in 8th grade I was allowed to take the SAT last year but I didn’t, I am taking it this year.
p.s. This is Holly-wa, I was at my aunts house last night she calls me Holly, my middle name, my first name is Netallia
Holly is my first middle name Isabella is my second
Whoa, I am REALLY bored… I didn’t think winter break was ever this boring….
omg. Taylor’s back!
Yay! Serafina reading LYKY! Me reading Tithe. lucky me…my mom hasn’t looked at it yet lol.
My mom gave her friend a christams present today. I was waiting in the car while she dropped it off at her friend’s house, and she told me her friend asked if I was goth. lol. idk why. Maybe cause my hair was like being all weird…had to wear it to one side and it looked kinda emo. And I was wearing too much dark eye shadow. I’m surpirsed she even know what goth is…she’s like 35. Or something. But thinks she’s 15.
anyone there??
OMG
my mom says there is no point in owning a book when you can check it out from the library so she wont let me by the series
*buy
sorry
i’m a grammar freak
wow
i’ve almost filled the recent comments
oh well i’ve got nothing better to do 🙁
I think I’m gonna go re-read PEEPS…..

Co-Prez-la, how are you getting all these free books?!
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😕
no school is starting to suck
boredom
hhhmmm…i enjoy boredom.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😐
Omg, i looooove Twilight. I am at a really good part. i love the book. i am sooooo getting the sequel.
humph. i dont like twilight. she just rushes threw everything. and theres like, ten climaxes. and everything is just all mooshed together. and when you get to one of the ten climaxes, you get all excited. and then its just over. like that. and she uses absolutely no details. you just have to make them up yourself. which is really hard considering this is stuff SHE made up. not us. and its all mooshy gooshy.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 🙁
yeah, twilight kinda did that. but i’m not allowed to talk about my hate of twilight anymore.
yeah, what’s up with the world, allie-wa? actually, now i’m compensating by also silmetaneously reading Everlost, War For The Oaks, Vintage and a short story collection of awesome.
I loved your book Extra’s it was awsome i wish i had known about it sooner it didn’t come into were i live for awhilie my friends mom ows a bookstore and usually ges books before they come out and she lets us read them before like months before there advanced readers copies but she didn’t get your book for some reason and then when they went out of town they found it some weird store called llama llama but it was really good
i dont start school again till february
Wows….how do you submit fanart?????? Ive got a Shay ala Special Circumstances!
