Description
An experiment in painting without lineart as well as fanart for one of my all time favourite authors, Rick Riordan!
His fantasy series are top notch and rich in mythological goodness as well as fantastic character casts. (Plus - written in 1st person! I love 1st person!) What more is there to love? The Lightning Thief movie is terrible, go read the books!Percy and his pegasi Blackjack, overlooking the ocean and an angry sky... maybe Zeus is having a fit at Poseidon...
The title comes from some notes I read on the wiki regarding Blackjack (Percy's pegasi) that mentions that Blackjack may have gotten his name after the risky card game because every time Percy takes to the sky, he puts himself in danger from Zeus. Also, just because he is a demigod (most don't have a great life expectancy) his life is definitely a very risky gamble.

PERCY JACKSON BOOKS~ ;A;
I've read them all.
And I got the last book when it came out. And I was fangasming, and I was obsessed with it for the entire day.
And then I had read it all... D: But the end was awesome. Rick Riordan knows how to write!
Blackjack is one of my favourite characters! I adore his personality. Yet, Percy is definately my favourite

Do it! It's really, really good! I've read the first greek series twice now and I'm dying to read the second and the Egyptian one. Rick Riordan is a fantastic author. His writing style is really simple but it's fast paced, perfectly described and really funny!

I LOVE THIS SERIES. Ski, I will loan you a copy of the first book if you return it someday. XD
It's also modern time, but based on Greek and, in the following series, Roman mythology. It's pretty much awesome.
When I tried to go back to it I thought the first book was somewhat simpler than, say, the first book of the second series (which was was somewhat better tailored) but I think the writer got a lot better as he wrote the story, which is to be expected, and it's still quite epic. Regardless, I love all of the concepts and it's rather funny and at the same time intriguing to a mythology-geek like me.

Your pegasi looks as if he's more than willing to take on a little risk.
