I picked Inkspell, the scene that happened shortly after Mo and Meggie had their fight over the notebooks filled with information from the ‘Inkworld’ that her mother, Resa, told her about.
I haven’t read the books in awhile but i do believe Meggie and Resa both have blond hair.

THIS SCENE GUYS. SO MANY EMOTIONS.
There’s actually more to this, but I didn’t have time to finish it at a better spot :( Might upload the rest on my tumblr!: http://michellehiraishi.tumblr.com/

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas will forever remain one of my favourite books of all time.
This was rushed, but I wanted to submit something… at the very least I hope I did it even a sliver of justice… *o*

house of leaves
decided to do house of leaves, which is a book i didn’t entirely enjoy but still was an immediate forerunner for “weird books i have read”. because the book itself is so disjointed and takes advantage of unconventional page set up and color use i tried to capture the sense of the navidson story rather than try to extract an exact scene from the book

“Something moved across the room, like monks and like shadows. The torches on the walls went out, the two clocks stopped, and the room grew colder. There was a smell of old-unopened rooms and the sound of rabbits screaming. “Come on, you blob of gulp,” the cold Duke roared. “You may frighten octopi to eat, you gibbous spawn of hate and thunder, but not the Duke of...

A scene from Neil Gaiman’s Stardust. While the brave hero is waiting for his companion to fetch him some clothes, he hears little faerie-men singing, not only about his upcoming journey but also about his… current attire.
This was a nice and memorable scene, and also the latest thing I had read before deciding to make a comic for this prompt.
Anonymous asked: as long as it is still Wednesday somewhere in the world we can still submit right?

This is an excerpt from the last of the Brethren trilogy by Robyn Young, “Crusade”. This series is set in the 13th century, around a man named William Campbell in a time of a war between Christians and Muslims. Here in this excerpt, he faces off his rival for the longest time, Garin.
I hope I’ve managed to capture the essence of this scene, even if it seems more like...
Reason by Isaac Asimov
This is the first scene from a story in I, Robot by Isaac Asmiov. It is a wonderful book, which neither I, nor Will Smith, did any justice.
Excuse me for the general ickiness of these pages.

i wanted to draw some of the party scene from The Great Gatsby (mostly as an excuse to draw some 20s clothes). this is the part where Nick and Jordan go looking for Gatsby and run into the owl-eyed man in the library. here’s the excerpt i was referencing.

American Gods: Coin Tricks
Scene from American Gods where Shadow meets the midnight sister, Zorya Polunochnaya, and she gives him a gift to keep him safe. He thinks it’s a coin trick.
There’s a lot that feels incorrect about this (I’m away at college and didn’t have my book with me) so I just went by what I remembered, but I think I got the feel of the scene down okay. :)

The Music of Erich Zann, by H.P. Lovecraft
I know the Cthulu mythos is referenced frequently in our popular culture but sometimes I wonder how many people out there have read the original short stories of Lovecraft. They are great! Go read them! :)
I’ll post a more detailed breakdown of the processes that went into this on my blog at http://attackillustration.tumblr.com/

I wasn’t much for dialouge, when i drew this on some post its while i was voulenteering at a library but some of the kids who saw me drawing this said this was awesome, and so I thought so too.
In truth, I was simply in the presence of a very ordinary...

I am the Messenger- Queen of Hearts: Three Minutes...
I chose ‘I am the Messenger’ by Markus Zusak, and this scene is the Queen of Hearts, where Ed delivers Audrey’s message- they dance in silence for three minutes and she allows herself to love someone properly.
I realized too late that her arms were around his neck, but I think dancing like this is more dynamic. Of course, they probably didn’t dance like how it is in the...
Anonymous asked: Oh hah this isn't a very pressing matter or anything, but would it be possible to list the start/end dates for challenges in the posts themselves? Like "Weekly Art Challenge #1 Aug25->Sep1" or something like that, just to make it quicker to just load up the challenges page and find the right date

Johannes Cabal the Necromancer
By Wallabri
This is a scene from the opening of Johannes Cabal the Necromancer by Jonathan L. Howard. The Cabal books are recent favorites of mine. They’re brilliant novels and I absolutely recommend them to anyone who enjoys dark, intelligent humor!
Anonymous asked: Oh man. I had started with this challenge but upon seeing all these great entries I'm just completely flabbergasted. Everyone's doing such a fantastic job!

Outside of a shrine they’re supposed to be visiting on friendly terms, Cain and his hetero life partner aide Jurgen are assaulted by mindless cyborgs called servitors. During the course of the battle, two of them are tricked into...

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: Horcruxes...
This is my version of this flashback that also appears on the movie, but shortened. I chose it because it’s one of my favourite scenes on the book, and I think this was very important. And… I must admit I have an obsession with flashbacks. It seems like my concept of short is a little wrong… here it is! :) my deviantart
Anonymous asked: I'm so thankful that you made this challenge blog.

There is so much to learn from each other and I'm really excited to be a part of this. It's given me some courage to keep drawing and the hope that one day I can appreciate...

God's Final Message to his Creation
By starbot!
From the end of So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish, the fourth book in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.
Arthur and Fenchurch trek to see God’s Final Message to His Creation, written in fire in letters thirty feet high on the far side of the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains (not the top, whoops.) They find Marvin, the...

Apologies for weird sizing— I failed at trying to get it to work right. This is probably confusing out of context because it’s just a little snippet from Diana Wynne Jones’ “Year of the Griffin”. Six wizards of all sorts become close friends while at university together before finding out that one of their friends, Felim, is in danger of being assassinated. With no...

seathong asked: Are we allowed to do more than one? Multiple scenes from multiple books for this challenge but just more than one for each challenge in general.
