I have a lot of Cirque du Freak/Darren Shan fanart that I've found on various websites, and some of it is pretty cool. Is anyone interested in seeing it? I'd be willing to upload a .zip of them, to share the Cirque du Freak goodness! XD And of course, I'd love it if people posted any fanart for this series that they might have lying around on their computers.

Not just yes, but YESPLZ XD'
Most of those I got from random websites that seem to be down now D: There was this search engine online called 'Darren Shan Search' which I also can't seem to find. ;3;
I'll try searching more XD

OK! Here's the .zip--hopefully Rapidshare is alright:
http://rapidshare.com/files/17310886/Cirque_du_Freak_-_Darren_Shan_fanart.zip
I included a list of sources. I also managed to find the Darren Shan Ring, but I wasn't able to track down this the Darren Shan Search, which I agree, was most useful.

OoOOO Demonata fanart too <33 ILU~ haha
You're making me want to read these books over again XD

Ahh, that pictures so cute! :D As for the OP pic, I'm not sure where I got it---I think it was from this oekaki site http://www.oekakibbs.com/ and I probably found it after doing a search for ??? (Darren),???? ??? (Darren Shan) or somesuch variation. If it wasn't from there, the original website should be one of the links in the text thing I included in the .zip
Er, do you have the source for this? 1171932324.jpg

Lol, I only finished the Darren Shan books recently, and I haven't begun the Demonata series yet. I've heard that Universal Studios is gonna make a live action Cirque du Freak movie? I bet it'll be really bad, but I'll still watch it. :)
Has anyone here read the manga? I was dissapointed at how non-beautiful the art was.. (see pic)

WHEW, finally found the source XD: http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/~aql/D-Sll/
And yes, I've read the DS manga, but only the first chapter ;3; and I like reading it, even if the art is like it is XD
Same here D: If they made a movie I'd totally see it! ?
(I love this picture XD)

Thank you~! *bookmarks* This artist has a very clean style, huh? :3 I'd like to continue reading the manga, whenever AkuTenshi releases more of it, lol, but I wish Crepsley hadn't been drawn so un-bishoneny.. maybe he'll get better looking with age? *doubtful* Yeah, I want to see the Cirque du Freak movie in theaters, if it ever does get made.

Yeah, he's totally like "why am I even hanging out with these freaks..?"! >__< I've only seen scans of doujinshi covers online.. -__- If anybody wanted to scan one they owned (at a high resolution and all) I'd love to try translating one~! But I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for any at conventions. *unlikely*

i tried to read this series when i was like, in 4th or 5th grade, and i thought it sucked. does it get really good after the second book or something?

true 'dat!

No.239267
oh!
Yeah, Cirque du Freak starts out badly--my opinion of it was always pretty low, but I think the ending improves things a lot. It's a series aimed at younger kids, so some things have to be forgiven.. but I thought they were fun to read, if not the greatest books in the world. I'd say "give 'em another shot" but they still might not be any better, in your opinion. XD

I really got hooked into the series around book 3-5 actually, so yeah, it gets better XD
I've always like vampire stories anyway, so this one really stood out to me :3

In all truth, it was a fanart from a Japanese site that got me interested in Cirque du Freak. I wondered that a Japanese artist would draw fanart for a non-japanese series other than Harry Poter, and it turned out my library had the books, so I gave them a read. :) From the beginning, I couldn't get over the ridiculous idea of the author and the main character having the same name.. -3-

Yup ~ It's hard to miss Mr. Crepsley because of the hair and the red cape xDDD

I love how almost all the artists draw Harkrat(sp?) so simply--it's totally how I imagined him, too. :D I didn't bother to imagine him all grotesque like he was described.. that would've been gross, lol. ><

Yeah, like Anonymous said, that's them! I'm always suprised by the fact that people can draw Crepsley and make him look good, or at least not halfway bad. I, for one, cannot draw bald people at all. XD There seems to be a lack of Steve fanart.

XD He isn't COMPLETELY bald, he does have that small patch of orange hair on his head XD But I agree, he is hard to draw sometimes...
Aaand another group pic C: ?

It's strange how all the pairings in Darren Shan would be shota (if anyone wants to think of them as pairings, at all). I mean, you've got Crepsley x Darren, which is shota no matter what.. but even Steve x Darren becomes shota. XD
(Apparently this drawing is of Steve)

Huzzay for group pictures! <3
So.. I've heard that other books by Darren Shan are actually going to be sequel/prequel things to Cirque du Freak, and that one might even feature Crepsley the younger as main character! Does anyone know if this is true, or just a rumour~?
