@carryon-countdown day 9: birthright

Baz being the best big brother is everything to me <3 (Obsessional Simon is the best Simon.)

"In justice. In courage. In defence of the weak. In the face of the mighty. Through magic and wisdom and good." (to summon the Sword of Mages)

&

"I'm working on a Kishi Bashi song that my stepmother, Daphne, calls 'needlessly morose.'" (Baz's music has a vibe)

Happy 10-Year Anniversary to my favorite book, and the start of my favorite trilogy!

This is unlike any other illustration project I've tackled, before. I wanted to illustrate them because... well, Simon's sword and Baz's violin are both iconic props in the story, and are wrapped up so thoroughly in each character's identity. I do love them so.

Close-ups:

this illustration is taking ages....I thought i'd be done by now haha!
