"Glowing swallows flew like sparks around him"
"When the volcano finally lit up again, and a huge “Oooooh!” went up from everyone in the balloon, it might also have been possible to discern, standing on top of the zeppelin, with the starry sky above him, the figure of Vango emblazoned in red. Glowing swallows flew like sparks around him. The air was mild. Vango had just realized where he was."
Vango by Timothée de Fombelle (Translation from french by Sarah Ardizzone)
haha this piece end up so dramatic it was not my goal but anyway.
Inspired by the Stromboli volcano scene in Vango, when reading it I felt it would work perfectly with Deryn/Dylan in some AU where the Leviathan would pass over the Aeolian Islands.
#I might redraw it some days because it didn't end up how I pictured the scene and I feel a little bit frustrated#“Glowing swallows flew like sparks around him” is such a good line (in the book's context)#but also for Sharp in my mind swallows and swift are Deryn/Dylan's birds#but I drew fléchettes bats in the end lol#leviathan trilogy#leviathan series#leviathan book#deryn sharp#dylan sharp#my art#my artwork#trash art gallery#EDIT: WHAT IS THIS SHITTY QUALITY TUMBLR#EDIT: I think I found the problem
