Hester Shaw drawn by Lindsy Silva


It's always nice when the world of Mortal Engines inspires somebody to draw or make something.  Here's a portrait of Hester Shaw by Lindsy Silva.  I like the way she's managed to make Hester look quite cool and attractive without shying away from that horrible scar.  I suspect the real Hester has flowing auburn tresses like those only in her dreams (she has problem hair as well as problem everything else) but I'm all for a bit of artistic license, and this pretty much captures the spirit of Hester in the later books. 

You can find more of Lindsy's work on Tumblr, on Deviantart (where she's known as Shenli) and follow her as @elleoser on Twitter.
