Manual Art Reveal 2

Posted on by scott

It’s time to vote again for the next art reveal from The Manual of Aeronautics, the four-color all singing and dancing art supplement to the Leviathan series. This time we’re going Clanker!

Here are the three possibilities:

1) The Sultan’s elephant walker

2) An interior cutaway of the Stormwalker

3) And for you cosplayers, Alek’s and Count Volger’s uniforms in full color!

Use this comment thread to argue and discuss all you want, but please vote by number.

  23. UNIFORMS. YES. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! XDD -Rave

  26. 2 without a doubt, just rereading Leviathan and this would come at a most opportune time!

  40. thanks for the clanker stuff this time!!!!
    i suppose we can’t get all of them (yet)
    so i choose #3

  50. 2. Gotta get me a taste of the Clanker tech. I do really want to see the uniforms, tho.

  55. #2!
    I had a hard time deciding between 2 and 3, but ultimately I chose 2 because sometimes I get confused about the places they’re in.

  63. Such great choices! But, I’ve got to go with number three! Alek and Volger’s uniforms, please!! : )

  67. oh. erm. ugh. well, by process of averaging, i pick 2. really though, i’m just waiting for my copy of the Manual.

  69. this is so not a matter of what side you’re on. it’s a matter of seeing the stormwalker. TWO!!! 2 I SAY!!!

  71. I’m usually not one to vote for these kinds of things, but I voting for #3.
    All the way 333333333.

    (That’s three sets of three threes)

  84. Number 3! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I want to see the uniforms! I’ve been waiting for this vote for ever!

  90. Oh definitely 2. As extra insurance I’ll make myself very clear:
    2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 22 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. 33333!!
    (And a little off topic side note)
    OMG IM READING PRETTIES!!
    1) Dear David, I’m really sorry. I was on your side for all of uglies and most of pretties, but then…. ZANE. ZANE JUST STOLE MY HEART.
    2) Dear Shay. WHAT!!! YOU WERE LIKE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. way to go all crazy. im sorry shay, but i kinda hate you now.
    3) IM STILL SERIOUSLY CONFUSED ABOUT THE WHOLE Tally-wa and Shay-la THING. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN?

  95. Yeah!! Were going Clanker!! I choose #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I might be able to know the dimensions of the walker. I like all the choices , but that one will be the best!

  107. @94-If your name has an L in it, the extension is -wa. If it has no L, it’s -la. I think it’s just a Pretty nickname thing.

  113. #3.
    im curious to see what Volger’s uniform looks look. For some reason I feel it should look weird.

  119. As an otaku, I would absolutely love option number 3! Cosplay all the way! xD

    And speaking of which, I love it how you tie in little things about Japan in some of your books, like, with Extras and in the Leviathan series when they went to Japan. That was SO COOL and it made me feel special x3

  121. i want 2
    plus, i will like to see a new picture of denry in females clothes and how will be alek’s and denry’s children

  139. Number 3. For sure. I mean, come on. Alek and Volger’s clothes? That’s just awesome. (Do we get to see the mustache in full color? The mustache is important.)

  140. Elephants all around!!! Number one!:D Though what I really want would be a copy of the book in my hands now, it doesn’t work that way. 🙁

  152. One is not gonna win. I think three might win, but two only needs like four more votes for it to win (win right now, I mean). Just a score update. (I don’t know, is Scott the only guy who can do score updates?)

  156. Uniforms! I hope they look like the ones in a WW1 Memorial I went to recently, that would be so cool to have seen the real things, then in the Manual!

  157. Oh dear, I’m quite torn between 2 and 3. Eeeerrrrmmmmmmmm I have to choose 3!! I vote 3!!! We see a lot of the clanker machines and stuff but never a lot of the profiling. You know, I’ve always imagined Volger’s uniform (that he gives to Alex to tailor) to be turquoise!

  169. Three! for reference for the levi fanart collage my friend & i are making. you want to see the awesomness, i know, so help us finish quiker!!

  170. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 PLEASE NUMBER THREE I AM GOING TO DIE
    inner costuming fiend is sobbing

  172. 3

    I would love to see the interior of the Stormwalker so I can build a computer animation of it.

    Common people say *three* say *three*!

  190. All Alek b*^%$ and Varlowe fans, I better see them voting for option three because its a once in a lifetime do you see an early reveal with Alek’s sexy imperial clothes as well as Volger’s. (Same goes for all of you Dalek fans, don’t you even think you can weasel out of this one…)
    As for me:
    #3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!#3!
    We must know how to cosplay Alek and Volger…

  194. I vote #1, because what’s not to love about an elephant mecha? Nothing, that’s what.

  197. NuMbEr 3 PlEaSe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve always wanted to see their full uniforms…though #2 is a close second!!!

  200. FINISHED PRETTIES.
    oh, and by the way, just convinced like 10 people to go out and buy all of your books Scott.
    you can thank me later.

  207. Three. Three. Please, please three. I would love to see these costumes; I adore such things dearly. Costumes are quite wonderful.

    And I would love to be able to cosplay this with a friend someday.
