Ummm I have news for you, but despite the fact that Rincewind is a Wizzard, he is about as good at magic as he is at spelling.
The only way hed be able to do that spell would be if it was one of the Great Eight Spells, and nobody wants to see that. Up close anyways.

Very true...
If you read the description you would realise it is actually the girl who is doing the magic, and using Rincewind as a patsy…

As for today, I have read every single one of the novel series, sans I Shall Wear Midnight(not yet out in my country).
Looking at this artpiece again, I think that it truly would be fitting, and canonical, for something like this to happen to Rincewind.
So, in this scenario of yours, our favourite coward decides, before the next adventure sweeps him up into its talons and digs in its fangs containing the venom known as Excitment, to conduct a pre-emptive strike to his karma. Find whatever or whoever it is who is responsible for his adventurous life, the one thing that has kept him from blissful, peaceful boredom, and destroy it.
And instead that thing would turn out to be the most captivating, exciting, and dangerous adventure in his life. And, to his astonishment, it is an adventure that, despite the terror it instils in him, is one that he truly enjoys and hopes that it will never end.
I think that, after manipulating him throughout his life just to win board games and build a reputation, The Lady would feel that, maybe, just this once, she give her favourite game piece a reward for all his many, many troubles.
I truly hope that you'll take up this potential story. It would be a great tribute of appreciation to the World's Worst Wizard and Best Coward for all the laughs he's brought to us Discworld readers(Interesting Times is the novel out of the 38 in which I've laughed the longest an' the hardest while reading it. Hogfather comes close, though I'm not certain to place it at No. 2).
Thank you for creating this wonderful artpiece an' excellent story idea, an' I pray that this story will come to life one day.

There is a scene in 'the light fantastic' which is a lot like this pic. If twoflower was somewhere nearby it could pass for an actual deception of it.

Fine bit of work indeed. I'm not much of a reader, but I know of Terry Prachett from my Dad's books, he loves reading!
Anyways, fantastic bit of work indeed. Your colouring remains brilliant, and the poses for Rincewind and Aurora work perfectly, and the facial expressions go really well with them. Very good designs too. The magic effect is great as well.

Very nice! I have read "The Color of Magic" and "Equal Rites". I loved Rincewind. And "the luggage".

Nice back-story with a good twist on the character. Have you ever seen the Art of the Discworld book? That's how I always imagine Pratchett's characters when I read his novels.

I've read Thud and Wintersmith and I certainly intend to read more. Vampire character is my fav (name slips my mind). This picture looks good as usual with lovely colours however the man on the right looks like he has two left hands. Minor detail but it is kind of noticable.
