Let your raven flags fly, folks! Tis the season of bisexual icon John Uskglass.
Wander a frozen moor in a black gown!
Bury your heart in a dark wood beneath the snow, yet still feel its ache!
Spend your nights dancing in the ruins of a fairy court, and your days ignoring Sir Walter Pole!
Imagine the bleakest of November landscapes, but make it camp!

The land is all too shallow It is painted on the sky And trembles like the wind-shook rain When the Raven King goes by.

The Ballad of the Raven King (1/5)
Tumblr media
Not long, not long my father said
Not long shall you be ours
The Raven King knows all too well
Which are the fairest flowers
– From 'The Ballad of the Raven King', by Susanna Clarke. From Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
I don't know if I'll finish the art for the whole ballad but I may as well post this one

ID: several digital drawings of characters from Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. 1) strange with a manic expression holding up a dead mouse by the tail, eye twitching, saying "THIS IS A GREAT IDEA." he has red-brown curly hair and wears a brown coat. 2) a sketch of emma pole looking dead tired. she has messy ash-brown hair, purple circles under her eyes, and written next to her is "#girl." 3) stephen black polishing a spoon, and the gentleman with the thistledown hair behind him monologuing. stephen is a black man wearing a black coat, white necktie, and white gloves, and closely cropped hair. his expression is deeply haunted and disturbed. thistledown is a fairy gentleman in a green coat. he has fluffy white slicked back hair, long white eyebrows, long pointed ears, an angular face, and turned up nose. he is grinning devilishly, one long-clawed hand raised in emphasis, as the parts of his monologue that are visible read, "dearest stephen...feel...killing...some...hell...blood...skin." 4) a black and white sketch of childermass, a disheveled looking man with long greasy hair, a pointed nose, and a stubbly face. a speech bubble from someone offscreen (presumably norrell) reads, "WHAT SHALL I DO I HAVE NO ONE-" and childermass looking annoyed says, "I'm right here." 5) a 3 panel black and white sketch of childermass looking to the side, then seeing something and narrowing his eyes in recognition. the last panel is the raven king, a young man with a pointed nose and long hair falling into his face and flowing in the wind. he has leaves and twigs in his hair and ravens circle about him. written next to him with an arrow pointed at him is, "just childermass but more goth." 6) a sketch, colored in yellow, of strange lunging to the side and peering up from under one arm, shirt open, tie hanging loose about his neck, unshaved and unkempt. he has a crazed smile on his face. on a messy table beside him is the mouse tincture and a half-eaten apple. he is saying, "sO yOu HaVe To GIVE Me SOMETHING?" 7) a sketch of thistledown, colored in a light green, staring at strange with a bewildered and agitated expression. written around him is an ellipses, a "wtf" and a "how." end ID

Round 1 Side A Poll 8
Tumblr media
The Luidaeg
"I think a politician who is magically bound not to lie would be a good thing"
"The Luidaeg is Oberon and Maeve's eldest child. Merlin is a descendant of her who was involved in a war between pureblood fae and their descendants. In the present time, the Luidaeg is a tired and cranky witch who is bound by far too many curses and suffered far too many losses, but she still cares deeply for her family and she deserves the world."
John Usklass
"Its a Once and Future King situation- he rode out of England into Faerie 300 years before the novel is set, and he is prophesised to return and bring magic back"

The Cinque Dragownes
Tumblr media
"Les Cinque Dragownes (The Five Dragons). This court took its name not, as it is generally supposed, from the ferocity of its judges, but from a chamber in the house of John Uskglass, the Raven King, in Newcastle where the judgements were originally given. This chamber was said to be twelve-sided and to be decorated by wonderful carvings, some of them the work of men and some of them the work of fairies. The most marvellous of all were the carvings of five dragons." -JS&MN page 434
This is what came to mind when reading this description. I know it said "carvings", but I had the vivid image of gigantic dragon statues (that might move occasionally) in my mind. What can I say except that artists can't help but re-model the world according to their whims...
I might do another version later on because I see a thousand things I would change (make the dragon less red and more stone-like, more creative column base, more ivy, etc.), but whatever. As of now, it is how it is.

I just loved the poetical ways this is written, Elves begin absolutelly confused with the world begin far greater and with begins and people far weirder is just pure gold for me.

actually. making my take into a post (og chart credit)
Tumblr media
william: has a boss who is prone to random fits of whimsy that may end up with william suddenly in charge of a whole country OR in gruesome atrocities
thomas: can tolerate gruesome atrocities but is forever alienated from humanity and also his family doesn't love him
john: is actually very gender conforming but the gender he conforms to is previously unheard of and only he has it

The Ballad of the Raven King (3/5)
Tumblr media
Her arms were all too feeble
Though she claimed to love me so
The Raven King stretched out his hand
She sighed and let me go
