Thursday Next, Goliath, Booktastic, Willspeak ... (c) Jasper Fforde

My First Thursday Next Fanart!

An Illustration from the chapter "Airship to Swindon" , in the book "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper FForde. This book is also the first one in the Thursday Next series, which I highly recommend. ^^

This picture took me like a month to finish, here I tried to include some of the interesting settings of this series - Thursday Next who is the main character, a Literary Detective ------ in this parallel world, literary is a VERY popular medium, hence soft drink vending machine turned into a "Willspeak " machine, with a manniquin of a Shakesperian Character quote its famous speeches when you put a coin in it. Also bushes shaped in a dodo since they are a very popular choice of pet in this world. And also some advertisement posters which may be seen in this interesting world.

Oh almost forgot to mention, Airship is a popular way to travel, so I drew this picture with Thursday standing outside a Airship station, waiting for the car sent by the LiteraTecs Office to pick her up.

the first thing I decided after reading the first book is that I wanted a dodo as a pet. So... if they ever, ever recreate dodo's from DNA... I'M GETTING ONE AND NAMING IT PICKWICK!! Just because!

And I love your Thursday!

This is the coolest TN fanart I've seen. It has to be said.
It's so detailed; you obviously took some time focusing on the background, which a lot of fanart is lacking. Everything in the picture has relevance to the story.
I'd love to see the next scene -- the one where she first meets Spike, who is awesome.
