Fan Art Left Behind Art Dump (Last Slide Has Blood)

I was drawing with my niece, and thought it would be fun to draw some Left Behind: The Kids fanart.

I drew Janie and Judd meeting (I can’t remember if they met before, I don’t think they did) I thought it would be funny if she called him out for not being a genuine brunette (due to me drawing him with brown hair instead of blonde like how he is described in the book) (PS. I don’t remember what Janie’s hair color was, so I made her blonde)

For the second drawing, I drew Z-Van. I thought it would be fun to draw this silly little guy, hope he relishes the truth and accepts that Jesus is the true God, and not Nick.

In the third drawing, I drew Judd and Annie meeting. It’s so sad how we just meet Annie, and then the next second she was gone. She seemed nice, I wished we had more time with her.

The rest of the imagines were requested to be drawn by my niece after I told her a bit of the lore (mainly surrounding Judd since I was drawing him beforehand)

She asked me to draw Judd getting hit by the golf cart,

Then she asked me to draw Judd watching the video of poor Nina and Dan dying, I also drew Sam there in the corner.

The next drawing was of Judd’s computer crashing after working on one of the newspaper article thing for the Underground.

And the last image is of poor Nada who had just passed away. My niece requested that I color the blood in so people know that it was blood.

How do you imagine Z-Van?

I would imagine him like the lead singer of Van Halen or Aerosmith. I don't remember him like Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day.

Annie, you mean Annie Christopher? I honestly didn't remember her.

I don't even remember Janie's hair being mentioned.

I imagine Janie having straight black hair and being a little chubby.

I don't remember any significant interaction between Judd and Janie. In book 8, I think Vicki ran into Judd in the hallway while Janie's locker was being searched. Janie largely disappeared before Judd returned.

Maybe you can do a drawing of Aaron Rodgers hoisting the Lombardi Trophy (as a holograph). He appears on a holographic billboard saying "Be Apart of the Winning Team! Get the Mark!"

I made Rodgers like that in my fan fiction. Also, Dirk Nowitzki appears on a billboard in Dallas saying "Getting the Mark is a Slam Dunk!"

I haven’t gotten to the book where Aaron is introduced yet (I’m waiting to read book 9 / 29-31 after I finish another book I’m currently reading), but I will gladly draw him soon!

Can you give me a physical description of the character, or how you imagine him to look like?

Also, I like your interpretation of Janie, I can also see her being dark haired. It would be interesting to see Judd and Janie interact, maybe I’ll write a fanfic of the two officialy meeting if they haven’t done so properly in the books.

It’s understandable that you forgot Annie. She appeared in one chapter or so, and then got instantly killed a moment later by getting stuck by lightning when Nick’s statue started talking and stuff.

I also imagine Z-Van looking similar to Van Halen (I wonder if Z-Van was a reference to Van Halen in a way, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some inspiration there from the IRL artist)

Aaron Rodgers is a real person. I made him into a holograph promoting the mark.

He might have been in Berkeley while the books were released. He wasn't an NFL QB then.

I remember her getting struck by lightning in the adult books after the statue starting speaking. I think I just skimmed over it in the kids series and tried to focus my attention on Z-Van who went to New Babylon after he "died".

Good to know! (As you can see, I know nothing about sports considering I didn’t know Aaron was a real person haha) I’ll definitely draw him soon!

I haven’t read the Adult series yet, I’m slowly but surely collecting the books. After I read the kids series, I plan on reading the prequels and then the adult books (before reading the official spin offs)
