Final Fan Art Friday

Posted on by scott

I’m on tour soon (my Appearances page will tell you where) so I won’t be able to post much until mid-October. So this is our last FAF for a while. *sniffs*

I’ve decided to end on a bang, with a set of Leviathan videos, but first let’s do some regular art.

First, from the world of dreams and clouds, this random assortment of air and water molecules decided to make Huxleys!

That really does look like Huxleys, which is a bit cool. (Photo by hpaich of flickr, tweeted at me by @ohhmyhead. They may be the same person. ON THE INTERNETS WHO CAN TELL?)

This just missed the CAKE cut-off, but ONE more piece of kissing fan art is entirely okay. It’s from Amy:

I love the blurry background, because it shows how the world fades into a blur when you’re kissing. (Unless it’s not-so-good kissing.)

I was a big doodler in my school days, because doodling’s a great way for your hands to show you what’s going on in your brain. It’s like dreaming on paper. So I was happy to get this Leviathan-themed page of scribbles from Ema:

So many gears!

And now a couple of whacked-out-Alek drawings. I see a lot of these on the internets, drawings where Alek looks a bit mad. Maybe it’s because he’s so reserved on the outside, but we know he’s all a-churn inside.

From Maria Luisa, a rather manic Alek plays cards with Deryn on the spine.

This equally manic, or just plain scary, Alek comes from Coffee-Bun:

AHHHH!

Let us move away from the crazy and toward the cute. An excellent piece of cosplay came may way this week, complete with a living, breathing Bovril!

Hannah claims in her email that this chihuahua’s name is really Kip. But he does have eerily similar markings to a certain perspicacious beastie.

And a fancy-boots Dr. Barlow costume from Aurora Celeste:

It seems like Dr. Barlow cosplay is outpacing Deryn at the moment. And we don’t get much Alek or Count Volger at all. WHERE IS THE VOLGER LOVE? Don’t tell me it’s because cosplayers are mostly female because a) probably not true, and b) girls can stick on mustaches too!

And now a hilarious submission to FAF from Katie. It shows how a novel can invade your reality, making everything a potential reference to the fictional book-world inside your head. Even a soda can.

Hah! That happens to me too. I get hypersensitive to one word, or name, and it starts to pop up everywhere.

And to finish, here’s a quartet of Leviathan videos!

Let’s start with some Darwnist rock (from LScribeHarris, aka Lorelai Quinn):

You know, I never thought of Deryn and Alek as being a power-ballad tupe of couple. But they do fly through the clouds on top of a really big airship, which is pretty rock-worthy.

Here’s a more sedate book trailer from Erin in Queensland Australia:

From Spitballer09, a rather stylish cast pick video:

I feel like I’ve posted this fake movie trailer from Zozomagod before, but I can’t find where, and it’s pretty cool. So here it is (again?):

Of course, the youtubes are full of Leviathan trailers and videos. What are your favorites?

That’s it for this week. See you on tour.

Goliath comes out on Tuesday!

TUESDAY.

  1. I’ve been so excited about Goliath coming out, and for this reason, when my religion teacher told me that we had to write an essay on David and GOLIATH, the pen i was holding in my hand mysteriously snapped in half.
    I think she was secretly only doing this to me because she KNEW Goliath was coming out on Tuesday(also when the essay is due). This weekend is going to be filled with Goliath reminders around every corner :'(

  4. I’ve seen that last trailer before, it’s marvelous!
    THREE DAYS. WOW, SO SOON! I am so excited!
    I might be seeing you in NYC October 22 for my birthday, I can’t wait!

  8. AAAAAHH I SCREAMED AND THIS WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY TOO

    AHHH lol I’m actually really amused how people are scared by psycho!A lek. XD It was my intention to scare people so…yay? LOL

  9. GOLIATH COMES OUT TWO DAYS FROM NOW!!!!!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING SINCE I FINISHED BEHEMOTH (December, January, February, sometime around there, it’s been a while) AND NOW IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. @ Lauren I have disagree with YOU, at least with one character. Because whoever Alan Rickman is, he cannot be as good an actor, nor more suited for the role of Count Volger, than Christoph Waltz, who you may know from Inglorious Basterds. I mean, Inglorious Basterds was a very good film, but armed with just his acting power alone (and some really badass dialogue to boot), Christoph Waltz elevated the movie to greatness. So just imagine what he might do for a Leviathan film, because if there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s that when two amazing things combine, (that is, Mr. Scott Westerfeld’s wonderful Leviathan story and Mr. Christoph Waltz’s wonderful acting), they produce something utterly mind-blowing. So PLEASE Scott-la, if ever the idea for a Leviathan movie coalesces into something real, I implore that if it comes to it, you beg the casting directors ( or better yet, become one of the casting directors yourself) for Christoph Waltz to join the cast.

  15. I’m sorry for being such a windbag, but I just had to say something that I’ve already said on here before.

  16. @The Joker-la:

    Alan Rickman plays Snape in the Harry Potter movies. But I don’t really think he’d make a good Volger… I’m not sure. I’m not going to get involved in this, lol.

  19. TWO DAYS!!! i actually went back to finish the ultra spoiler thing on amozon, but couldnt get the whole thing again. so i just read the first few pages so many times that i could recite them to you all!!! SO EXCITED!!!!

  21. @ Elizabeth-wa: OMG!!! my hands started shaking, so it is now difficult to type!!!!!

    unless you be lying, which would be bad.

  22. WAIT! I’m not the only one who sees Leviathan references in EVERYTHING I clap eyes on. now I’m only slightly insane-er than normal people.

  23. I’m sorry for commenting so much. i has nuthin better to do. SCOTT! on amazon they have ART when you click “surprise me.” didst thou puttest it there? *suspicious glance*

  24. I’m going to lose it. Tuesday is so far awayyyy! It’s even WORSE now that I read the first couple chapters on Simon and Schuster! AUGH.

  25. I thunk Alan Rickman would make a good Volger too, actually. I think I even had a long-winded discussion on dA with someone about it.

    Does anyone follow Darren Criss on twitter?? He said “A year ago today, I cut my hair, and my life was changed forever… I was given the power of flight.” and while I’m sure he wasn’t talking about Leviathan, ALL. I. COULD. THINK. ABOUT. WAS. DERYN.

    TUESDAY!!!

  26. Today I thought I herd this girl say her name was deryn. That reminded me of Goliath and for the billionth time that day, I spazzed out. A couple of screams later I found out it was teryn, not deryn. But I was still excited.

  27. they are all good! Can’t wait till Halloween, cause i’m dressing as dr. barlow!
