Barty knows big words, like words from old English big, it confuses the masses when bro drops a wild "katzenjammer" in the middle of a sentence.

soooo i had to animate random stuff for my uni (next to the 3 minute short film i also have to animate) and decided, hey why not try and animate bartimaeus changing from a frog into nathaniel. so yes, this is technically a bartimaeus animation, not a nathaniel animation

idk if it was actually established that after the third book, bartimaeus also takes the form of nathaniel or if this is just a random headcanon of mine but i also don't want to check because i want to believe it's true. so there you go

Day 3: The Hanged Man

A card about self sacrifice just hits different when framed with the Bartimaeus story.

The pose is inspired by one of my favorite John Singer Sargeant sketches.

The figure of Ptolemy at the bottom matched by Nathaniel on the reverse side in almost the same position. A stance of struggling to get up and failing. A noose is wrapped around both figures, the rope connects them. One strand of rope is broken, releasing a bird.

Foreground: a pedastal atop which is Bartimaeus in the form of a scsrab beetle trapped in the sphere of light bands. Middle ground: Two Utuku standing over him with silver tipped spears. They wear Assyrian garb. One has the head of an eagle, the other a bull. Background: the white tower, or tower of London.

Day 7: The Devil

So happy to have successfully completed the challenge! Not gonna lie though, I was 2/3s of the way through designing the Death card before realizing today's prompt was the devil😅

Gonna be taking a break from tarot for a bit, but I hope to come back to it.
