Description 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.

I think I will -- I usually don't draw a lot of fanart from things I like to read or watch, but TN's something I've really gotten into, and there isn't much art of it on DA. I may have to fix that, just to make myself happy. X3

Which is number 6? I'm reading Something Rotten at the moment and I know "First Among Sequels" is already in the book store...

I'm also really looking forward to the new Jack Spratt novel, have no idea when to expect it.

TN6 is not out yet, which is titled "One of our Thursdays is missing" and due to published next year. (But regarding to Jasper Fforde's website his next book is one in a new series called "shades of grey", hmm we'll see)

I finished the two jack spratt novels recently, I like the second one more cause there was more Ashley XD
