you know when it gets to the point where you’re really sick of colouring. i reached that on page 2.
Anyway, the end of ptolemy’s gate in (sort of) comic form for ya. Enjoy…or cry, you know whichever. :)

just some loser who loves comics way too much. here's a brief overview of what I post.
-
It’s eight hours, twenty-four minutes and thirty-three seconds since I finished Ptolemy’s Gate, and I still carry its emotional distress. Who do you think is the lucky one?

“Well, it was my first time as a raven. And I’d had to alter in the dark. What did he expect? But it wasn’t the time or place to argue. I changed the beak.”
Bartimaeus and Faquarl as ravens. Based on a scene from The Amulet of Samarkand.
This took me forever to animate, so I hope you guys enjoy.
YOU ARE AMAZING.

"‘The Evasive Cartwheel,’ TM, ©, etc., Bartimaeus of Uruk, circa 2800 BC. Often imitated, never surpassed. As famously memorialized in the New Kingdom tomb paintings of Rameses III – you can just see me in the background of The Dedication of the Royal Family Before Ra, wheeling out of sight behind the pharaoh."

The gangly effect was heightened by his choice of clothes: a swanky suit, so tight it looked as if it had been painted on, a ridiculous long black coat, dagger-sharp shoes, and a flouncy handkerchief the size of a small tent hanging from his breast pocket. You could tell he thought he looked terribly dashing.

Doing a bit of animating based on the Bartimaeus triology.
Bartimaeus transforming from pigeon to gargoyle form.

"John Mandrake was an attractive young man, and the scent of power hung about him, sweet and intoxicating, like honeysuckle in the evening air. He was of medium height, slender of body, and swift and confident in action. His pale slim face presented an intriguing paradox, combining extreme youth with experience and authority. His eyes were dark and quick and serious, his forehead prematurely lined.
…
[He] wore his dark hair close in a military crop. He no longer bothered with a tie: the collar of his shirt was casually unbuttoned."Ptolemy’s Gate by Jonathan Stroud, pg 38 (British Version)

Neverending list of books that everyone should read ∟Bartimaeus, by Jonathan Stroud
“According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. I’ve never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you’re also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking.”

“Check out that one at the end. He’s taken the form of a footstool. Weird…but somehow I like his style.”
“That is a footstool.”

‘You know,’ I said huskily, ‘I’ve got low standards, myself. And sometimes I even have trouble meeting them. But torturing other spirits? Keeping them captive? That’s new. I’ve never even heard of that before.’ I raised a hand and brushed away a smear of essence that was trickling from my nose. ‘And the amazing thing is,’ I went on, ‘that’s not the worst of it. That’s not your real crime.’ I flicked a ringlet of hair back behind a handsome ear, dropped my hands to my sides. ‘You love your master. You love your master. How could any spirit decend to that?’
