I just wanted to make a post showcasing some of my favorite illustrations by Keith Thompson for the Leviathan Trilogy.

The art went so hard in these books, it’s crazy. The plot is basically an alternate universe WW1 about the major two powers, the Darwinists, and the Clankers. The Darwinists genetically engineered animals to fight for them creating huge flying whale battleships, while the Clankers made huge robot mechs and powerful guns. A few historical people and places show up in these books, like Nikola Tesla.

But my favorite parts of the books were the art, truly breathtaking, it was beautifully grotesque at times. But that’s not unexpected, after all Keith Thompson helped create the design of Moder from The Ritual!

THEY'RE MAKING AN ANIME OF SCOTT WESTERFELD'S LEVIATHAN?

Though I wish they tried to go closer to Keith Thompson's style because the illustrations fuck so hard

The Leviathan Teaser

"In 1914, on the eve of war, a fugitive prince and a girl in disguise meet aboard a bioengineered airship, the HMS Leviathan, and change the course of history." (Netflix)

The Leviathan is based on the novels by Scott Westerfeld, illustrated by Keith Thompson. The series is directed by Christophe Ferreira. Studio Orange is overseeing animation production with Qubic Pictures producing. Music is by Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi with original songs by Joe Hisaishi.

The Leviathan will hit Netflix in 2025.

So the real question is, of course, how do you put these things in Dwarf Fortress?

Actually creating the creature would be trivial, but just giving it a raise dead ability probably won’t provide the needed behaviours. You could run them on Night Troll rules, which would mean they’d carry tools, cook bodies, and have corpses around their lairs to raise which would fight you. But I still don’t think their raised undead would accompany them in the world.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Review: A wonderfully earnest, touching film

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is pure joy. A hugely emotional film with simple storytelling and a monstrously large heart.

A film about a hardworking, genuinely good human being pursuing their crazy dreams of buying a Christian Dior dress may well be the cinematic highlight of the year (more…)
