I was playing with some ideas for a tattoo I might want. One of the ideas was something dedicated to one of my favorite books, Sabriel by Garth Nix. This piece features one of my favorite characters, which is Mogget, this cat shaped being. This piece has two important swords from the series, charter marks, and of course, the Seven Abhorsen Bells.
to be fair this is valid and also explains a good 70% of my own bookshelf. at least with the library you save yourself money.
but also, here are some things to consider and encourage you:
mogget is the best cat in the universe, please imagine Alan Rickman’s voice when you read his diaologue
the magic system is so cool, it’s controlled by fucking music?? EVERY MAGIC PRACTIONER IS A BARD EVEN THE NECROMANCERS!!!
the romance in Sabriel is minor, mostly because the YA genre hadn’t been invented yet and the story focuses on the important thing: murdering zombies
when you get to the Abhorsen’s house in any of the books in the series, you never want to leave. in your brain, it is so peaceful and pretty and kinda like Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater on steroids.
the sequels are even better?? A new very understandable new main charater! A Sassy talking Dog! Dealing with Depression and Anxiety! Running around a really fucking terrifying Library!!
moral of the story, I feel u, but u def will like the book. jus doooooo it.
Some of my series of Wicked illustration studies I have made over time ever since college! I hope to supplement more enough to make a solid portfolio out of them!
