Commentary

I was looking through your Discworld page and was quite dismayed to find no pictures of Rincewind or DEATH! Those books, along with Commander Vimes are definitely my favorites--probably Rincewind at the top, though. He's so wonderfully pathetic and unheroic. I liked your Susan Sto-Helit. It reminded me of Paul Kidby, but not quite and it also wasn't the design for the animated "Soul Music." I'm not a particular fan of Paul Kidby's Susan, to be perfectly honest. Maybe I didn't read it carefully enough, but I don't remember any mention of a black and white afro. I was kind of hoping to see War aka Red from "Good Omens" as he/she appears near the end with the bullet teeth, but I liked the angular qualities of your design. Very evil looking woman, her. I was just talking to Mark and he mentioned that you were perhaps interested in Garth Nix but you didn't know what he had written. He hasn't written a ton, but an appreciable amount. I would strongly recommend his "Keys to the Kingdom" series, the rest of the "Abhorsen" books including "Across the Wall" if you haven't already read them and "Shade's Children." The "Seventh Tower" series is okay, but I think the influence that Lucasbooks had on the basic structure of the plot negatively impacted the quality of the writing. It also seems to be written down a little bit--to my knowledge it's the only intentionally juvenile book he's written. Well, that should be more than sufficient for now.
