Artist's Comments

Rincewind the "Wizzard" is probably my favorite member of the Discworld cast.

He is just delightful to read about. He is a complete coward who will sooner run from people than look at them. But to those few that he does not run from he is a complete and utter ass-hole. He is! He badgers them around, insults them, and sneers alot. I love anti-heroes and reluctant heroes.

This is my second picture of him. In this one he is more true to canon I think. He looks kinda scruffy and snarly. Of course, he still has some Psi-ifiedness to him. He has a leather collar from which hangs his octagon pendant and that silly braid which is actually hanging from the side of his head, not the back.

And he is cornered. He's about to fight back with a sword which is unusual, he usually uses his own body as a weapon. (He scratches, kicks, uses his kneecaps and elbows, punches and, yes, even bites.)

And that IS a wallscroll with an image of Vetinari on it. Not a clue why.

Aside from the text and border this was done with mechanical pencil. Keep your Painters, Paintshops, High-End Photoshops and Tablets. Pencils RULE!

I'm not a big fan of Discworld, but this looks quite stunning. You're good at pencil stuff. Amazing lineart.

Oddly enough, though I've never played/read/seen ( no idea what it is) Diskword.

I did however play a character alot like that in D&D! only he was a thief. ^_^ but coward/asshole bwah!

( I love his crooked sword )

Dude this is still really damn amazing stuff. This Rincewind is certainly more true to canon (but I really liked your version too!), but I do see those little touches that make him YOUR rendition at the same time. The pencil work here is just nothing short of fantastic...I mean, seriously. I study sketchworks and pencil works, and this totally has a professional look. The hatching is really well done, and I don't know why I've not seen more of your pencil works. I should look harder, methinks.

Drawing in pencil is top-tier. :nod:
