Second sketch for my "Books Characters" series.

I read The Bartimaeus Trilogy (The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye and Ptolemy's Gate) something like 5 years ago. I liked it very much but I never wanted to buy it. One day maybe I will. The fact is, I didn't enjoyed the ending. If you haven't read it, I won't say anything more. I really liked the characters, especially Bartimaeus (of course) and the way Jonathan Stroud writes. This is the way I see his characters while I read his books.

Bartimaeus is pure genius. I read the prequel to the trilogy, The Ring of Solomon, and it was not as good as the trilogy, but the jinn (djinni) rocks the socks. I portrayed him in his Ptolemy-like form because I imagine his spiritual body as flame-shaped smoke... not very interesting to draw. The other forms are too hard to draw and this is just a sketch.
Nathaniel is showed in all his versions: the cute 12-years old little boy we loved in the first book, the arrogant 14-years old member of English Government with his military haircut we hated in the second book and the honourable 17-years old magician who saved the world in the third book. I sketched his appearance right after reading the books (2007) on a very old piece of paper I will never show to anyone, if there are discrepancies from the description given in the books I don't know what to say... I might have been drunk while sketching, and now it passed a lot of time... The stone throne was part of that sketch (don't ask). Nathaniel holds Gladstone's staff and wears the Amulet of Samarkand.
I don't like Kitty. She's irritant. I'm sorry because she could have been a better character. I think Stroud is unable to make proper heroines: although she's better than Kitty, I didn't like neither Asmira from The Ring of Solomon. I portrayed her as seen in the third book.

If you don't know this series of novels for "young adults", I think it deserves a read. Especially if you like english wizards but are tired of Harry Potter.

Comments and opinions are really appreciated (I write it everytime but no one really seems to read it)!
