Artist's Comments
So here's number two in a four-part series... the second page of a couple pages of fanart that I did around 6 years ago as an homage to the excellent characters of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Here we have the other two stars of the City Watch (when I drew this, it predated the Watch's current ranks... remember when it was just four guys?).
Kidby draws Vimes as a shade of Clint Eastwood, who admittedly has the perfect face for Vimes, if not the voice. I don't know why I drew Vimes with a mustache like this (Kidby's is roughly stubbled in true Man With No Name fashion), but I think we were going for the same Lone Western Sheriff look... I remember Pratchett describing the dragon in Guards! Guards! as "horse-faced", so I went with this profile. I didn't have a really good handle on Errol, though, and didn't try for him. Comments
  Nobby rocks!!! (and you too )-- When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, leaving no trace of yourself  Faces are very good and funny, especially face of the dragon. Nice work.

 -- When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, leaving no trace of yourself  hehe...cool
 Very cool stuff. I like your visualization of the characters. Cheers
 Haha! Great Nobby, and Vimes rules. Has to be one of my favourite characters from the books, and that's a really nice take on him. Lovely details on the costumes, and so nicely drawn again!
-- --Abby Website: [link] "Mundane and Socially Acceptable!"  I love Discworld! And I love Vimes! Didn't like him at first, in the earlier guards series, but lately, especially with Night Watch or something (where he goes back in time and fixes up the watch), he's been just awesome. At the beginning he just got drunk a lot. Nobby looks a bit taller than what I imagine him. And you've given Vimes a somewhat Asian look. All the same, the comic style that you chose to draw them in is very suitably Prachetty! It captures the feel of his novels well. Or the humor, in it, rather. I love the touch with Nobby carrying the lantern onna stick.
 haha, graet!!!
 Please, please, please draw Angua! Your artwork has resparked my flame o'passion for the excellent series created by that genius Mr. Pratchett. It was prod some serious buttock if you could do Angua as well!
