It has been less than a year since Warcross hit the shelves and readers cannot stop raving about it. Marie Lu mentioned in a recent interview that she is “fascinated by young people who do extraordinary things,” and we are too.

So today we’re showcasing just a few of our favorite extraordinary fan-art works of Emika Chen and Hideo Tanaka. And don’t forget, if you’re out there creating your own Warcross fan-art, be sure to tag Penguin Teen so we can marvel at it!

So soft and subtle, loving it.

“Everything’s science fiction until someone makes it science fact” – Here’s my Hideo digital portrait to match the last one I did of Emika. I’m actually quite surprised I managed to finish both of them and didn’t give up halfway through like I usually do! Anyway, I really enjoyed drawing both of them; I think I’ve learnt a lot, but I definitely need to draw something a bit different next while I try to wait patiently for Wildcard!I ~ @marieluthewriter @penguinteen

So pretty and simple!

“Every locker door has a key”-warcross After read warcross from @marieluthewriter I just needed to make a fan art of Emika Chen, I loved the book and I really recommend it if you want a story of a bad ass haker in a future where a game became your reality #warcross #warcrossfanart . . . . . . . #art#illustration#deawing#draw#picture#artist#sketch#sketchbook#paper#pen#pencil#artsy#instaart#beautiful#instagood#gallery#masterpiece#creative#photooftgeday#instaartist#grapihc#graphics#artoftheday#bulletjournal
