The Amulet of Samarkand: Chapter One animatic

Here's a project I've been working on for a year and a half. It took me a lot longer than I expected and the process of actually animating anything was just 40% of the time I spent on this.

Really hope you like it! Comments and reshares are appreciated!

Bartimaeus Nathaniel

#i know bart is usually portrayed with golden eyes and i absolutely agree but. yall get me #bartimaeus #bartseq #bartimaeus trilogy #the bartimaeus trilogy #bartimaeus sequence #nathaniel underwood #my post

Sometimes I think about how the story begins with an ambitious and unrecognized child dreaming of power and strength, and ends with a boy who has achieved a power that no wizard in history has ever had.

And he knows it doesn't matter, because in a few seconds an explosion will tear him apart.

Some thoughts about John Mandrake's 'introduction'

This is by far my favourite character introduction in the whole series specifically because it's written that way - as an introduction

John mandrake is introduced as a suave young magician/ politician who is popular with commoners and feared by his colleagues. He's built up in the introduction to be cool, detached and incredibly powerful; someone who is level headed and self assured.

He's immediately an interesting character.

But it's only by the association of the name that we know this is in fact Nathaniel - his manner and personality are so different to the boy we've read about so far:

Nathaniel the terrified 12 year old boy who summoned a Djinni in his bedroom for poorly thought out and hot-headed revenge.

Nathaniel the awkward goth 14 year old desperately trying to fit in with his colleagues and make a name for himself. All while slowly losing his morality out of fear of survival, and who's fear of losing control is manifesting in a unhealthy relationship with cleanliness.

It's only when Bartimaeus' explanation of how their relationship entirely broke down we see it happen in subtle changes and understand how he became John - through the extreme stress of running two departments, the constant war; through having to abandon his moral compass to keep his head above water.

But at first he's almost presented as someone else, another character that needs to have his rituals and habits explained to the reader because it might as well be someone completely different.

Can we talk about how the only person Nathaniel trusted the most (After Ms. Underwood and Ms. Lutyens weren't in his life anymore) was Bartimeus except like. Not really??? He couldn't trust ANYONE around him and felt like he, in a way, could trust Bartimeus but also no he couldn't. I know at some point he must have gone "Okay Bartimeus won't tell anyone about my name perhaps. It's been so long" but the environment he lives in and the instilled trust issues I KNOW had him thinking that anxious little thought of "But he Could. And why wouldn't he? Look at how you treat him. He COULD". For Nathaniel the only person he could feasibly trust is Bartimeus and that trust isn't really....there, in the first place. It's more of "he gives me companionship in some way" then actual trust. He was so isolated guys. He was always so vigilant and high strung and the fucking trust issues are SO insane and the worst part is they ARE warranted look at the people he's surrounded with? It's horrible the absolute 0 sense of security. I mean they really were threatening his life at age 14 I can't do this anymore guys. Fuck. Thinking about Nat too hard makes me wanna kms 😞💔

The bart gang and doing the dishes (if they lived together)

Nathaniel: Leaves the dishes on the table for someone else to collect

Kitty: Puts the dishes in the sink and tells herself she will do them later

Bart: Curses at everyone and puts the dishes in the dishwasher. If anyone else does it, it's incorrect because they haven't stacked them properly.

Nathaniel is turning eighteen. He has his whole life ahead of him. He can be anything he wants to be. Nathaniel can pursue a political career and try to atone for the sins of the empire. Or Nathaniel can quit his job and become an artist. Nathaniel can travel with Kitty and explore the world. Nathaniel can learn to cook, read lots of interesting books, see new places, and make friends.

Nathaniel is turning eighteen. He did not die in the explosion under the rubble of the city.
