Description
- there should have been violins. The murmur of the crowd should have faded away, and the crowd itself should have parted in a quite natural movement to leave an empty path between her and Ridcully.There should have been violins. There should have been something.
There shouldn't have been the Librarian accidently knuckling her on the toe on his way to the buffet, but this, in fact, there was.
She hardly noticed.
"Esme?" said Ridcully.
"Mustrum?" said Granny Weatherwax.
Nanny Ogg bustled up.
"Esme, I saw Millie Chillum and she said-"
Granny Weatherwax's vicious elbow jab winded her.
Nanny took in the scene.
"Ah," she said, "I'll just, I'll just... I'll just go away, then."
The gazes locked again.
The Librarian knuckled past again with an entire display of fruit.
Granny Weatherwax paid him no heed.
The Bursar, who was currently on the median point of his cycle, tapped Ridcully on the shoulder.
"I say, Archchancellor, these quails' eggs are amazingly go-"
"DROP DEAD. Mr. Stibbons, fish out the frog pills and keep knives away from him, please."
The gazes locked again.
"Well, well," said Granny, after a year or so.
(Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies)
Happy May 25th, fellow Discworld fans! I hope you're all wearing your lilacs!

Ah, I like.
I myself stumbled over my humble Discworld collection recently and have started to re-read the books... But there are so many I haven't read yet...

And that's why I love Pratchett ^^
I think your drawing goes well with the fragment in the description. Instead of dramatic meeting of Granny and Mustrum being a dominant of the whole scene, it's actually more difficult to spot in the whole turmoil around. (But when you notice it, you understand how much tension is there.) Also, the details are amazing. And the Librarian's smile... is just priceless.

Glad you think so! Thank you!
I agree, Pratchett's romances are always understated and that somehow makes their impact on the reader even more intentse.

Wirklich toll! Mich würds interessieren wie lang du dafür gebraucht hast! *O* bzw. wie du dir im Endeffekt mit dem CG getan hast. Ich mags immer wieder kleine Details im Bild zu entdecken. X3

Danke, Liebes!
Es hat wirklich lange gedauert. Die Papierzeichnung an sich ist 2012 in der Form fertig geworden. Dann kamm die Plagerei mit dem CG. Ich hab mir sehr schwer getan. Hab es deswegen auch immer wieder lange unberührt liegen lassen, weil mir bei jedem Schritt klar war, wie viel noch zu tun ist und ich teilweise wirklich keine Ahnung hatte, wie ich es umsetzen soll. Naja, aber mit der Zeit lag der Stift besser in der Hand und ich bin vorangekommen. Tu mir immer noch schwer, aber viel besser als am Anfang!
