I was doodling in my sketchbook tonight, and somehow, my doodle turned into this. Another portrait of The Raven King from Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

"Magic shall be written upon the sky by the rain but they shall not be able to read it;
Magic shall be written on the faces of the stony hills but their minds shall not be able to contain it;
In winter the barren trees shall be a black writing but they shall not understand it..."

--from chapter 13.

ADDENDUM:
I love the texture of this -- the trees, the clouds, his hair -- and the duality of his features. Light and shadow, etc.

Very cool, baby

(go post it on the coooommmm <3)
Beautiful. It feels so wistful :heart: It goes so well with the quote.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. I always want to draw John Uskglass surrounded by wings. It's so hard to resist the impulse. Soooo hard. So--I don't!

200% love! :love:
That looks fantastic! He looks and sounds like a very interesting character.

I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's gettin' ready for the showdown,
I saw the minute that I turned away,
I got my money on a pawn tonight..."
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like how it came out. I keep wanting to draw more Raven King art. I can't help myself.

Someday maybe I'll draw one of the other characters! Maybe. ;)

I'll post it in the community soon, I promise.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you think so! :heart:
