"get up."

something something about men being hotter when they're bloody much love to @sourearth for helping me draw them honses :3c spoilers below for symbolism explanation!!

I don't really know much of tarots or asoiaf tbh! Just thought it was kinda rad and did it for an art test I set myself for an application. Fingers crossed!

chariot tarot card - hard work, determination, progress, direction

faith of the seven, halo'd around his head - the gods favoured him in the fight / knightly vows to the seven

background cities - fleabottom to the left (symbolising past), summerhall to the right+smoke billowing (symbolising future)

wooden chariot - dunc himself being strong and sturdy + arlan of pennytree, his 'father' + his home being the outdoors, wherever he makes it. the elm on his sigil

falling star - good fortune, watching the stars with egg. the star on his sigil.

stars and open sky - infinite potential, watching the stars with egg.

tabard - drawn as squarish as possible - shape language of strength and stability. apparently some tarot symbolism of the earth and the material.

black and white horses - duality, ears pricked up to show alertness and facing what's ahead

thanks for reading!! ay put a little star emoji ⭐ if you read all that ;0

Day 3 without my drawing tablet. Arachnus prime and his beetle bitlet.

Also had to get him egged, sorry, he’s a spider, it had to happen. Then Arachnus taking the bitlets (Chariot and Tor) for a walk and threatening the troops at the same time. I love them so so so much.

I’m thinking that if Chariot and Tor were predacons because of Arachnus’ organic half, Chariot would be a shiny flying beetle of some kind while Tor would be an orca.

A 2000-Year-Old Thracian Chariot with Horse Skeletons Found in Bulgaria

The 2,000-year-old Thracian chariot discovered in 2008 near the village of Karanovo, Bulgaria, is a remarkably preserved artifact. Excavated by a team led by archaeologist Veselin Ignatov, the 1st century A.D. burial site contained a disassembled four-wheeled wooden chariot, silver-coated decorations, and the sacrificed skeletons of two horses and a hunting dog.

Location: Eastern Mound of Karanovo, Bulgaria (near Nova Zagora).

Age: 1st Century A.D. (about 2,000 years old).

The Chariot: A four-wheeled wooden cart with a wheel diameter of 1.2 meters, heavily embellished with bronze and silver-coated figures (including Eros and riding mythical creatures).

Fauna Skeletons: The perfectly arranged skeletons of two horses (still positioned as if attached to a draft pole) and one hunting dog.

The Nobleman: Later excavations in (2009) located a nearby brick tomb belonging to a wealthy Thracian aristocrat or ruler buried with golden rings, coins, glass and silver cups, and armor.

Historical Context: This type of lavish "chariot burial" was practiced by the Thracian nobility to symbolize prestige, wealth, and to provide transportation for the deceased into the afterlife.
