A Noble Use of Lunch

Warning: There are a couple of scantily-clad handmaidens behind the cut, so ... be warned.


I managed to get over my absolutely wretched drawing days and come up with some stuff that, while not particularly genius in itself, didn't feel like repeatedly running into a brick wall at speed while drawing it. It was such a relief to get the pencil moving again that I stayed up way later than I should have last night ...


There's a mention of how interdimensional travel might have funny side effects, in The Science of Discworld III, and indeed one of the wizards comes back with a morbid fear of feet. The drawing is hraka from the bad drawing days but the idea was funny...


A couple of Chidders ... I'm having doubts as to whether it's actually Chidder who's the freckly one from the beginning but it's too late now. Yes, he looks like Fred/George. That's kind of who he is ... can you imagine Fred and George at the Assassin's Guild? Hah! That would be brilliant.


I momentarily forgot she had long hair while drawing #2 and tried to go for the Egyptian wig thing. I don't know nearly enough about Egyptian costume, but luckliy the smallest bikini that can still serve its purpose looks roughly the same everywhere. (I could have made it smaller, but ... nrgh.)
I first read Pyramids when El Dorado was still fresh in my mind, so Ptraci has (understandably) Chel-like flavours.


Okay, he looks like about 2,517 other characters. Yeah. And I forgot his staff, or just didn't want to draw it, I don't remember.


Some Teppics. The first one looks too much like Lupin, and the second (which I like much more) rather obviously reflects my casting bias ... but I like it.


Every time I read Small Gods, I try to draw Brutha again, and every time I get a little closer ...

If any of these are really gigantic on your screen, please leave a comment ... I can't judge accurately with my GIANT HUMONGO HIGH-RES CINTIQ!!!

Now I have three minutes in which to eat...

An observation upon listening to GP (again): The Tump Tower. [facepalm] How many times have I read this and I only get that now?

New Piccies

I can almost see that wizard scrabbling across the floor trying to flee his feet. My favourite of you Ptracis (insert manly chauvanistic booby comment) is the third one, i like the expression with the slightly raised eye brow, it captures the character well.
Your high priest Dios looks like Imhotep from the Mummy (fitting really)- but older perhaps.
Your Teppics look good, he's quite an odd character as he doesn't start out very charismatic and so the story is a bit slow at first, but like all of Mr. Pratchett's protaganists he comes into his own by the end i feel. Don't feel worried about relating a character directly to an actor or someone, i personally see Dr. Cruces ( Head of the Assasins Guild in Men at Arms as (Jeremy Irons)each to their own.
Brutha looks like a character called Dougall from the British program Father Ted. He looks so innocent.

Hmm, well considering I haven't seen The Mummy or Father Ted I think I'm safe there... : ) Thanks.
