July Art Reveal (Voting)

Posted on by scott

It’s almost July 1, and time for another art reveal! As usual, YOU get to decide which piece of Goliath art shall be unveiled.

This time we have no less than four pieces of art to vote on. Three are the former defeated contestants, just in case you’ve changed your minds about them, but the last is all new.

So will it be the high angle shot from the June reveal, Number 1?

Or the threatening weather vista, also from June, Number 2?

Or the also-ran from way back in March, Number 3?

Or finally, there’s this new one that you MIGHT find intriguing . . . Number 4.

Leave your votes in the comment thread below. And use this space to wheedle, coax, and inveigle your fellow fans to your cause. Because democracy is good.

I shall close the polls after 250 votes.

  6. I place my vote for Number 3, the Two Headed Messenger! 😀 I think it looks most intriguing. But hell, I know I’ll love whichever one gets picked, since I’m utterly smitten with all of the art in Leviathan.

  18. Well, it looks pretty obvious already that number four is gonna win.

    So I vote for 2!! I still want to see that “storm”, darn it!

  19. OI!! “Kappa Surfacing” doesn’t reveal which chapter it’s in! You gotta tell us, Scott!

  21. i say #4. there’s something interesting behind that grey rectangle.
    can’t wait for Goliath to come out already! i can’t wait for September any more!

  23. KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA!!!…
    eh hem I mean No. 4, please 😀

  27. 4! What on earth are they doing on a boat? And what is this Kappa? And if there’s beasties in the water, why is there a Clanker-looking airship in the background?

  37. Number 1 because it looks the least interesting but my prove to be the most interesting out of them all. Of course I have no way of proving this because I won’t be able to see all of the pics.

    Still….

    1

  42. 1?4?1?4?1?4?

    I CHOOSE 1!!!
    It’s titled “firefight” and something interesting might be going on in that picture concerning 2 certain characters *nudgenudge*

  43. Ohhhhhh why is it such a hard descision? I’m going back and forth between 1 and 4. Hmmmmmmm, I guess I’ll have to go with NUMBER 4!

  44. So, it looks like so far the votes are:

    1 – 7 votes
    2 – 1 vote (hey, that’s me!) XD
    3 – 5
    4 – 18

    You guys are so predictable! Lol

  56. Though the fourth one looks really, really cool, with some new beastie of sorts, I do remember the March one from way back, and Scott telling us that the one picked mostly relied on text spoilers, while one of the others didn’t. Since he brought number three back, my vote is:

    NUMBER THREE.

    Plus, Doctor Barlow’s awesome, and it looks like she’s in the picture.

  61. Goodness whatever gets picked will satisfy my art craving but let’s give #3 a chance to redeem itself 🙂

  63. I’d love to see a kappa (Harry Potter has one to) but I would also like to see what Bovril is perching on in number 3. So far most people have voted 4, so I guess my final answer is 3.

  71. #4. 1 & 2 are just airships (yall should know that) 3 sounds boring, & doesn’t anyone want to see the kappa? It sounds cool dont you think?

  79. I vote for 3, maybe beasts spectacular, but i prefer to know who is in #3 beacuase it doesn’t seems probable that bovril is in Barlow shoulder, more like it is in the head of someone else, so i belive that with that title it´s important to know who is that someone, because if i heard correctly, most of the significative reveleations come from the mouth of a character…, better to know if it is Alek, depending on his face a lot can be presumed.

    Sorry if my english is wrong, i’m no native speaker.

  80. Even though, obviously from scrolling to the bottom, 4 is in the lead (29 votes if I am not mistaken, more than 29 votes if I am) …

    I have to go with #1.

  99. I keep seeing my friend Fergie (hornblower) on this sie so I thought I would check it out. Really cool blog!

  101. Dude, I’m sititng right next to you in class man. Don’t pretend you don’t know me 😛

    And 4 definitely looks the best~

  103. In order of preference:

    2 – 4 – 3 – 1

    2) For the same reason as last time AND because Scottla recently mentioned that the Leviathan’s tail would be in Goliath. I believe this has to do with the tail.

    4) A perfect situation for Alek to do something totally barking spiders for Deryn to rescue him from? I think so!

  104. Ok man, stop joking. You are right next to me, and I’m starting to look like some sort of stalker. Stop it :/ I know what your email is though, and since you can’t view it in the site, how else would I obtain it?

  120. The artist in me is wants to see number 1 because it just looks so fantastic, but I’m going with number 4. Because they all look fantastic.

  121. I have to go with 4… But if we were allowed, all of them! But since we’re nor, #4. ????

  128. I would seriosly cosidy #1 cuz ther seems to be a large wingg like thing ….. and also i think scott-la is trying to make you all chose four so that you will see it and be disapointed beacaus its so damd lame!!!!!

    SO my choice is writen in stone #1 for the win!!!

  130. I can’t decide…both Dr. Barlow’s latest diabolical plan and fabricated Kappa engulfing a Clanker ship both sound intriguing! It kind of looks like there is someone else in the picture with her, so I’m going to go with #3!

  141. Hm, hmm. As predictable as this may be, i must say Four. Kappa surfacing? Sounds intriguing.

  148. My first choice is number four, because the kappa is one of the awesomest Japanese monsters ever, and I’m excited to see how it’s made into a beastie (or machine, but I’m guessing it’s a beastie). Next choice is number three, because I want to get a better look at that two-headed bird…

  150. Votes as of comment #148 are

    Number One: 23 votes
    Number Two: 9 votes
    Number Three: 28 votes
    Number Four: 64 votes

    So go, and vote for four! lol

  151. ahhh…. as of 159

    Number One: 23 votes
    Number Two: 9 votes
    Number Three: 29 votes
    Number Four: 64 votes

    Stop voting before I can refresh the page! Urgh! lol

  154. What is wrong with you people!!!! All number 4 is is a water monster or something. Wouldn’t you much rather see #3? I mean look at the name ” Two headed messenger”. Granted its probably just a two headed bird but is there anything NOT intriguing about a 2 headed bird? Plus I see a bowler hat that doesn’t guarantee that Dr. Barlow is in the picture but some doctor is. There is definitely a loris in that picture and come on who doesn’t love a loris?
    I’ve done my best to persuade you now all you can do is vote for # 3. It probably won’t be enough *sigh* oh well. NUMBER 3!

  155. wow I just realized I wrote a HUGE comment and didn’t even say one of the things I wanted to! @Scott will you ever reveal the missing word from the word cloud? Please please please do it I really want to see it!!!!

  156. I choose number….. 2!

    Haha, but I doubt this on we will be choosen, but it looks very interesting! But, whatever one wins i know I’ll be happy! Yay!

  157. Eh…which shall I choose…
    I know what a kappa is due to many rpg games i played XDDD
    And I see bovril in number three…
    and I love bovril and his cleverness…
    SO NUMBER THREE IT IS ;D

  165. Picture 3 or picture 4…? I’m going to have to say picture 3 please, though I see that might not do too much for my cause. 🙂

  170. I wish to cast my vote for number four. I presume that a terrifying monster will be surfacing from the waters. It may prove useful in my third rising to power.

    But of course, you will choose as I wish. I may have a…*slip* of the wand if events turn out otherwise. >:)

  171. They all look good, but I think I’ll go for number 4, just because it’s the only new one in the running. But I also want 3 and 2… 🙂

  190. I don’t think I can’t decide between 3 and 4, but I think I’m getting 4 as it looks rather INTRIGUING.

  191. NUMBER FOUR

    1&2 are just airship pics 3 just looks like a box with bovril and barlow next to it.

  198. i dont think thats brovil with dr barlow i think thats her beastie
    i think #4 is gonna win and reading the discription of what the creature in real life (or myth) makes me wonder what its doing in the book, also they arnt on a beastie in that pic it looks like they are on a clanker navy ship

  204. Number 4 is probably winning and even though it looks interesting…I have to say number 2!

  207. #3 please, Mr. Westerfeld. I see bowler hat and what I think is a loris, so I vote for 3!

  218. for looks like it would tell me more new things about the books. and it looks plan cool!!!!!

  225. Ooh, the first one looks to be the LZ 14 Zeppelin. Tho, it says the crew drowned in the North Sea.

  227. Ilike picture number 4. I love west’s books. It has made me mad for steam punk books. Can’t wait until book 3 comes out.

  231. I was going to say 3….. BUT THEN u said there was a fourth one and it totally got my interest!!!!!! 4 or nothing!!!! BTW, isn’t a Kappa a Japanese water monster?It some sort of legend in Japan?? Does this mean they’re in JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (OMG!!!!!*trying to breathe*) I cannot wait until Goliath comes out!!!

  234. okay something is coming out of the water or something and it just looks awsome so 4….duh!! 😀

  243. I’m going to say 4,
    only because I have a small attention span and this one is NEW and SHINY!

  247. I totally vote for number 4:Kappa Surfacing. I really want to know what it is! Isn’t a kappa a creature from Japanese mythology? It is so awesome!

  248. Of course I would love to see each one but I have to go with number four. It looks like a new sea creature.

  250. Current votes are standing at:

    Number 1 – 26
    Number 2 – 18
    Number 3 – 47
    Number 4 – 123

    It’s kind of obvious who’s gonna win…

  251. In ‘Phineas and Ferb’ Dr. Doofinschmirtz says ‘Dummkopf’. How cool is that?

  252. well i was gonna vote for 4 but its at 123 so.. that would ruin it so um i guess i’l vote number 2?

  254. I’m just going to be different and vote for Number 2, as I’ve voted for the winners every other time.

    Now I wish I hadn’t banned myself from the internet yesterday and today… XD

  255. My vote is for number 4. The shear fact that it has the word Kappa below it has made want to see it.

  260. Shoot! Just missed it! See it just turned friday here (Kentucky) like an hour or so ago…oh well my pick wouldn’t have won anyway. I wanted # 1!!! Wanna no the reason…i’m gonna tell u anyways. It’s cuz its got the hapsburg crest in it!!!

  261. There’s no point even voting now…i hate democracy.

    I vote for three, because, well, you can see my hat 🙂

    What can I say? I’m narcissistic.

  264. Dammit! I knew I should have checked yesterday! urrghhgh! But if my vote was counted, I would’ve voted 4

  267. Well, I guess the voting is already closed, but better late then never right?

    So, number 2 please! 🙂

  273. Ehhhhh…. I think I’ll be one of the minorities but I choose #2…
    I prolly will be disapointed with the out come of the votes with #4 being the highest so #4 will be fine too…
    heheheheheheh… we all sound like we’re sending pokemon out…
    NUMBER 2! I CHOSE YOU!!! (lol…)

  275. @Lord Voldemort

    SPOILER ALERT (for those who haven’t read the 7th book of Harry Potter)

    You can’t have a wand… Harry broke yours at the end of book 7… and you can’t be alive since Harry killed you too… (sorry for ruining anybody’s dreams of Voldemort living and ruing the world… but you can’t say I warned you!)

  276. I know that voting is closed but I vote all four!!!!!

    @Lord Voldemort:
    Stargirl 8 is right!

    @Stargirl 8:
    Maybe we ARE sending out pokemon!…
