[The Leviathan Series]

[(Anonymous)]

Keith Thompson is AMAZING and any additional artwork from him would be fantastic, is my view of things.

1. A LEVIATHAN SECRET!! well, actually it's Behemoth but it looks like we're going by the series here...

2. YES. Darwinist propaganda SHOULD be drawn at least once! Keith Thompson, why didn't you!?

[(Anonymous)]

...Darwinist propaganda...

o.O

You sound fun.

An aside here...

[al28894]

It's in the context of World War 1 and the series is generally "Central Powers (Clankers) use machines while The Allies (Darwinists) use fabricated beasts."

I guess the OP kinda messed the wording up a bit.

Also, the picture is a Clanker propaganda poster that was spread around in Istanbul in-canon.

[lentils]

haha no no, this has a completely different meaning in this series. Leviathan is a trilogy set during an alternate universe WWI in which there are two factions of Europe, Darwinists and Clankers. "Darwinist" refers to the countries who fabricate genetically modified animals (i.e. giant tigers, on the left, or a leviathan airship on the right), as opposed to the Clankers who use mechanical war machines.

[Picture is marked as being of the fandom "The Leviathan Series". It is a remarkably well-done illustration of a world map were a man wearing a gray top hat and a dark suit carrying a huge ribbon with the word "Churchill" written on it, is riding the shoulder of a sort of thin rat creature standing on its rear legs, wearing a hard hat, with huge tusks like a boar, a rat's head where its right shoulder should be (incidentally where the suited man is sitting atop of), and that mouth has erupted a rat's arm. It's knees also look like muzzles with eyes and all, and there are snakes coming out of its tail and back. The rat has a red cross with white edges painted over its main face, with a black eye patch on its left egg with a skull and cross bones on it, like a pirate flag, and is carrying a ship in its left hand, which has the flag of Turkey on it, and in its right hand is holding a burlap bag with the Pound sign painted on it. On the other side, a bear like creature with a ribbon saying "Russia" is wearing a Russian hat and various medals and shoulder-parts of a military uniform. It is snarling at the rat. The map they are standing on is rounded like the curvature of the Earth, and we can see marked The Ottoman Empire, the Black Sea, Istanbul, "Marmara Sea"? "Dardanelles"? and showing some buildings on the cities, railroads, ships, and some white flags bearing red crosses on some places, like a war map. Above the picture is a ribbon with the words "Wer Wird Uns Gegen Dieses Ungeheuer Schützen" and below "Krieg Ist Die Lösung 1914", with the Coat of arms of Germany, an eagle with its wings outstretched and looking to the side, in the middle.]

I wish the book illustrator would have drawn some Darwinist propaganda. Just think of what they would have looked like! (By the way, this is Clanker prop.)

Oh, thanks! I almost wrote a variation of Chthulhu instead of Churchill.

From Wikipedia:

Leviathan is a steampunk novel written by Scott Westerfeld and illustrated by Keith Thompson. It was released on October 6, 2009.

First of a young adult fiction trilogy set in alternative version of World War I, it has German Central Powers (Clankers) using mechanized war machines opposed by British Entente Powers (Darwinists) who fabricate living creatures genetically. The heroes are teens Aleksander, son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and Deryn, Scottish girl with dreams of joining the British Air Service with her brother. The sequels are Behemoth and Goliath.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_%28Westerfeld_novel%29

Google translate says the phrases are:

"Who will protect us against this monster?"

and

"War is the solution 1914"
