Hey, all. It’s time for FAF(cake), the cosmic all-kissing edition of Fan Art Friday. I think this needs no explanation, because we all love cake.
Let’s start with Alek and Deryn, shall we?
First a tiny wee gif from UniYuki:
Awwww.
And here’s an eerily similar in style, but way bigger and non-moving, image from Ridgetail95:
She looks like the surprised one here, which tells a story. (Like, he’s figured out her secret and is like, ba-BOOM, and she’s all, “Wha??”)
That’s something I’ve noticed while trawling the interweebz for Dalek lip-on-lip action: every picture tells a story. Sometimes they’ve obviously been together for a while, and are just chillin’; sometimes she’s surprising him, and sometimes it’s the other way around, like the above.
Here’s a case of them having obviously known each other’s secrets for a while, from stkidd (who seems to specialize in kissing fan art!):
Go check out all of stkidd’s art. She has a great one of Deryn snoozing with a sketch of Alek. Heh.
From DanyDiSalvo, here’s one with the ever popular title, “Engine Grease.”
Pretty intense. (And seriously, I do see the title “Engine Grease” a lot. Is THAT what the kids are calling it these days?)
Here, from Miyu999, comes a more comical approach. Clearly it’s right before a battle (“Will we ever see each other again?”), and it also proves what I learned while writing this series: all scenes that feature Bovril are fundamentally awesome.
Note that we’ve made the all-important jump to Alek being on the left side of the frame! Is it just me, or do the vast majority of Dalek kisses have Alek on the right? Is this a geographical thing, like Austria is kissing Britain?
Seriously, HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS?
And now an even more comical, in the sense of sequential comics, take on kissing from britata348. (Note that Alek is back where he belongs, on the right!)
And here’s a fanciful image from Art-BandGeek (who we’ve seen here before, but CAKE demanded a revisit) that actually is a bit like a scene from Goliath. (only in that Deryn’s wearing wings. But this was drawn BEFORE yesterday’s art reveal. Hmm.)
And yes, Alek on the right again. Hmm.
Are we bored of Alek and Deryn yet? Never!
But let’s have a slightly different take anyway, another lovely sketch from stkidd:
As the French say: Yowza.
All you naughty shippers, Dr. Barlow is married, you know, and had had two children by 1914!
And finally, one last Dalek kiss, a sweet one from MaiaBlackWolf:
Again, I say: Awww.
That’s it for this week. Thanks for all the kisses!
(Don’t forget: I’m going on tour soon. Check out my Appearances page to see if I’m coming anywhere near you.)
First! Love the Barlow and Volger one. Who knew he had kids?
But Scott, a lot of people cheat on their spouses. Just watch 5 minutes of Jerry Springer! (My virgin eyes…)
HAHAHAHA 2nd comment!!!
Oops I meant third sozzy….
Yay for awsome scenes with Bovril! 🙂 Scott, is there a picture in Goliath if they kiss?
is there a picture in Goliath if they kiss?
IF they kiss in Goliath, there’s a picture.
Oh! Again! Min takk Scottmeister! 😀
LAWL. Dont ya just LOVE stkidd? I do. Her art is awesome!
If they kiss in Goliath….hmm………….that would make us all extremely happy….
NOO scott! IF they kiss? why didnt u post that one yesterday instead of the almighty wing scene!!!
on the contrary, this cake is much better than real cake…almost
I just called my local Barnes and Nobles to make sure that they’ll have Goliath on the 20th….the lady on the phone probably thought I was crazy because I got so excited xD
IT’S SO CLOSEEEE
Loving all of the fan art! I never noticed that Alek is always on the right…because I always draw him on the left. LAWL.
Varlow forever! This is why Volger has to kill Alan Barlow. 😀
In my headcanon, Deryn is secretly a gay trans man who is not out to himself yet. All of that art is lovely and adorable! 🙂
Scott said ‘Dalek’, which makes it an official term now. Yay!!! 😀
Awesome fanart!
Also, I don’t want Dr. Barlow cheating on her husband. SO, as a Varlow shipper, I have killed Mr. Barlow off. Don’t judge me.
I just wish this fandom had more Deryn Lillit shippers
awww they r all so freaking cute!! love the first and third. and when you pointed out bovril say ‘wtf!’ in the fifth one i laughed out loud! so funny hehe. and the winged one is quite adorable i must say. great work all you guys who did this, ah-mazing! can’t wait for the book ahhhhhhh!!!!!
yay!!! kissing rulz!
@attackfish
ewww…. wait that would make deryn lesbian! u sick puppy!
@brittney
me 2, and if “dalek” is a term hows about “varlow”?
@scott
if by chance there is kissing in goliath, who by chance is the instigator? i wish it to be alek of course, since deryn would be pleasently surprised
I can barely draw people. People kissing?
The reaction would be a lot of “Why is that dinosaur leaning over that umbrella?”
Or something along those lines.
ANYWAY, awesome fan art!!! 😀
@beanz
AGREE!!! why scott why!!!!????
@myst47
“huh? wuts with the mushroom and the chihuahua?” “and why is the mushroom biting the dog?”
sharpie i got the spof club on the forum so go there 😀
I like them all! Especially 2, 3, 4, and 5. Haha, engine grease. I must call Barnes and Noble. And tell my teachers that for a few days starting the 20th I can’t do school work because I will be reading an awesome book.
Ok, seeing all the “Dalek” titles on dA seriously confused me because I was thinking of the Doctor WHO Daleks… LOL. Obviously I am not up to date with my fandoms.
“I just wish this fandom had more Deryn Lillit shippers”
Ditto.
Wow I’m flattered that old comic of mine was featured XD Its nice to see how much I’ve improved I suppose. Thanks Scott!
I love CAKE! Especially the one from stkidd! 2 questions: how come no one ever draws Peeps or Uglies anymore and whats the scoop on the Uglies movie?
P.S. im totally on the Dalek and Varlow ship! *illegally hops on the Dillit ship too!*
Chris. That was what I thought too!
Ya know, it’s going to be really funny if Deryn and Alek do not end up together…
At first, I thought “Dalek” was a reference to Doctor Who, but after reading it through again I figured out it meant Deryn and Alek.
Now I feel stupid.
I’ve decided that cake is like the best thing in the world. Scott, I salute you.
Again at the Dalek, my mind went “EXTERMINATE!” all Doctor Who style.
xD
Also, I knew that Dr. Barlow had kids.
I did my research.
This is why I have a vendetta against Alan Barlow.
He needs to die so Count Volger can save the day with his fatherly love for her children.
[Only the second part of that last sentence was a joke.]
@deryn sharpie-spof – Now now, no homophobia…
Dude seriously! Come on y’all. I’m totally for dr.barlow to stay dr.barlow. that would be way too creepy if she became dr. Volger. Eew. (Shivers)
dalek is an odd nickname…i mean, there has to be someone who reads this blog who watches Doctor Who.
shoot, i just actually read the comments and realized there are Doctor Who fans…my fellow nerds!
there is nothing more awkward than ur lil innocent 6 year old bro walking up to u while viewing cake art…
Uhmm, did they all have to be leviathan series related? why no Tally+Zane?
^^Disregard that XD
lol It’s hilarious that the Deryn/Alek couple name is Dalek. EXTERMINATE!
So………anyone else automatically think of dr.Who and hetalia while reading this?
You know whats funny, I’m actually eating cake 🙂 like RIGHT NOW XD
Hey micah!
@Steffie, I have totally been thinking about that. What if Scott’s decided to have a bit of fun with us?
Anyways, the whole CAKE thing really had me going there…I kept coming up with my own acronyms for it: Can Alek Keep Empororship, Clankers Always Kill Everybody, Californians Are Kinda Evil, Can’t Avoid Kappa Easily…Yeah, not even close.
I never noticed it (untill I went back and looked at all the fanart on Deviantart) but yes Alek is always on the right and Deryn always on the left!!!!! So artist of the awsome Dalek fanfiction did you do this on purpose or is it just one of those random things that happened???? D:
All the art was fantastic, but none of it made me as excited as scott-la’s comment! There had better be a piece of Dalek art by the wonderful Keith-la in Goliath!
Haha, that never occurred to me! But I ALWAYS draw Alek on the right! Like, not even just the kissing ones; he’s just /always on the right xD Now I’m going to have a complex.
Scott, didn’t you say you owed us a book titled ‘Cake’ due to the last word trend in Uglies? Is it going to be a book of makeouts?
@ Hezekiah
That’s a very cool headcanon, though it’s not how I see her personally. (She seems too comfortable with being a girl to me- it’s just the restriction of what she can and can’t do that she doesn’t like.)
I think it’s awesome that characters and ideas can be viewed in different ways like this nowadays.
@ Attackfish
YESSS, MORE DERYN/LILIT. I am a very big shipper of them, though I like Alek/Deryn more. Obviously we need to clone Deryn.
@ deryn sharpie-spof
Can we stop with the homophobia? Thank you very much.
@ Moonie: Or threesomes, Deryn/Lilit/Alek. Oh my God, I have spent way too much time tin the White Collar fandom.
@attackfish
But Lilit doesn’t like Alek! ): …Or, uh, boys in general, haha.
… But it could work, with some couple therapy ahhaha
@Moonie: I thought Westerfeld mentioned Lilit was bisexual?
@attackfish
He said bi/lesbian, and I personally see her as lesbian as she’s never shown any interest in guys.
