#wren Natsworthy

So the thing about Hester and Tom is that no matter how tragic their end was, their story was happy. They got to live happy in Anchorage, before that in Jenny, they got what most of the others in their world didn't. Their end may be sad, but their story wasn't.

Don't mind me, still sobbing.

A few years ago I created a fan-design for a cover for a book I love, Mortal Engines. I really liked it, and I always wanted to create one for one of its sequels too.

Infernal Devices isn’t the direct sequel, it’s actually the third in the quartet, but it’s set to a large extent in (the Municipal-Darwinism-future version of) my silly beloved hometown, Brighton. So it’s the other one in the series that I yearned to base a design on.

Appropriately enough it ended up being this year, when I came home from my usual city of residence, London, to isolate with my family back in Brighton, and started thinking about a permanent move back to the city, that I picked this project back up. The last few weeks have been characterised by me mulling over flat listings and drawing this.

Philip Reeve also comes from Brighton. He went to the same Junior school as I did, I found out! And he wrote Brighton in a way I think only born-and-bred Brightonites would understand, with a kind of vicious affection. Maybe that’s the way a lot of people feel about their hometowns. But Brighton does have a very unique image and character and this thing where it’s not the kind of place you come from, it’s the kind of place you visit or move to. Coming from Brighton is a bit like coming from Disneyland.

So I really appreciate his depiction of Brighton in all its tacky, beautiful, self-satisfied, generous glory and I’m delighted to feel I have finally drawn something to represent that.

Shrike, holding up Hester: psychotic

Tom: no!! don't be mean!!!

Shrike, swaying her back and forth in the air: psychotic murder woman

Tom: No!!!!!!!

Wren, not looking up from the wheel of the Jenny Haniver: murder lady. bad mom.

Tom, distraught: NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tagged by the lovely @kitthefox to post a picture I have saved on my phone that best sums me up as a person! This was tough cause I have a lot of images on my phone specifically so I can send them to my sister with the caption 'me'.

The eventual, worthy winner, is this one.

The once-great traction city of London is now just a radioactive wreck, a ruin haunted by electrical discharges and the dashed hopes of the people who once called it home-people like Tom Natsworthy. Twenty years after he fled, intending never to return, he discovers that something stirs in the remains of the old city. Meanwhile the fragile truce between the Green Storm and the Traction Cities splinters and hostility breaks out again. Events are set on a collision course as things end where they began, with London. But even as Tom and Wren hurry to uncover the mystery of London, Hester Shaw-estranged from her husband and her daughter-tracks the resurrected Stalker Fang, who has found another way to end the war and all life on the planet once and for all.

Can’t believe Wren Natsworthy was the character to finally push me past the edge and make me get the 30 day free audible trial due to my reluctance to actually read the fuckery this girl does with my own two eyes 

[theblvckvenus]
