Art Time!

I've been forcing myself to draw more lately, and got some quality time with my scanner tonight. Unfortunately I left my life drawing pad (which has some worthwhile doodles in it) at my sister's so that'll have to be done later.

( More Coffee Pirates )

This scene suddenly struck me as I was walking home today. Usually I fritter away my independence on cooking dinner or doing dishes or – no! – LiveJournal, but today I decided to cash it in and, in an uncharacteristically impulsive move, deviated from my walk home and spent two hours drawing in the library's café. This is the result of that. I've forfeited my overdue laundry night for it, but it was fun and I got a drawing out of it.

This is the scene from Going Postal where Antimony Parker and his Aggie come to thank Moist for delivering the ancient letter. I've bent the text a bit and had Aggie be the old woman in the following:

    'I said is it true you're opening the old place again?' she repeated. 'My granddad used to work there!'
    'Well done him,' said Moist.
    'He said there was a curse!' said the woman, as if the idea was rather pleasing. [...] 'It lives under the floor and drives you maaad!' she went on, enjoying the syllable so much she seemed loath to let it go. 'Maaad!'

I think salamandersoup has done this scene and I offer profuse apologies for stealing it, but the muse struck at just the right time and it's been ages since I drew anything from GP so ... I had to, you see? It's been so long, in fact, that Moist is starting to take on some of Willam's characteristsics. Ugh. Anyway, here, now, is (possibly) Moist's P.O.V. of the 'maaad' lady.
