Description In Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, there was a vivid description of this card, so I just had to draw it. XD

YES. I really love that book~

This is part of a much bigger project that I am doing. I'm doing comic book cover illustrations on most of the book. You can see a WIP of one on my tumblr: [link]

It doesn't make sense now, I know. XD IT WILL THOUGH.

Character are Susanna Clarke's. <3

I haven't seen any other drawing of that Tarot card, but yours is, sincerely, impressive. I see the work done on the dirty and written paper, too.

Is it a good book? I feel like I might be grounded soon, so I need a good read.

It looks so old cardyish... me gusta in the aesthetic way

I think it is a very good book. It has amazing characters and very clever, funny moments that just make them all awesome. But it's 1000 pages...which makes it a good grounded read. : D

But also, it's takes place in the 19th century and IT'S WRITTEN LIKE IT IS. Like...they censor out people that use the word damn to d---. Also, footnotes that take up a page. LEGIT.

Ummm...it's like a grown up version of the Bartimaeus Trilogy. And if you never heard of the Bartimaeus Trilogy, the Bartimaeus Trilogy is like Harry Potter in old-timey London.

...Yeaaahh. XD

I love art with this look; is it hard?

No, not at all! At least I don't think so. The heavier the line art the easier it is to cover mistakes. XD

If you don't know already, you can look up Mucha and art nouveau, which is a very similar style! <3

YAY! I don't really know much about tarot expect that the cards look really cool. XD I'm considering getting a deck though, just because of that~

Tarot is amazing!! One time I did a Tarot spread in 2008 to see who would be elected president and it said Obama. Not even joking XP

So pretty! Even if tarot cards are cliche for "cool" art, they never cease to be interesting to look at

Yaayy! Thank you, Lumo! Yeah, tarot cards are really cool to look at. I kinda want some one to do an updated version of them, just to see~
