@davidrevoy asking as an absolute layperson, how fast is speed-painting, how long did it take you to paint this?
-
@davidrevoy 100% here for this! Though I see she has not yet decided to "wear midnight".
But the lighting is so good! Beautifully captured!
@rez @davidrevoy
I always wondered, if it is midnight blue or midnight black. Or both.Any way my pick of colours.

@climbertobby Speedpainting duration is always relative to any artist. Here I call speedpaintings the one I do in only one sitting, this one took ~2h. (I usually paint more than 9h on my pieces)
I had a little time at 17h30, a pinch to the heart seeing other celebrating the death anniversary of Terry Pratchett, and wanted to participate with a little something.
With this time budget, I couldn't detail much anything, but captured what I had in mind during my reading experience.

Je suis justement en train de le lire à ma fille 🤩 -
@davidrevoy 11 years already, huh? Back then when I was 20 I read all of Discworld in under a year. And then Pterry died. What did I cry then! Now I am reading the books to my child, just now came back from reading Soul Music until he sleeps. And so things live one. First through us, now through our children. So now I am crying again. He wrote "No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away". Pterry has not caused ripples, but giant waves. Let my tears make sure the waves never calm down.
Also been thinking this for a long while, but I think you'd be perfect for illustrating Tiffany Aching series. Like Paul Kidby is great and beloved, but Tiffany Aching expresses strength, and your drawing is really good at exrpressing strength. I am sure he would have loved your illustrations.

@lazy Thank you for your words and for sharing this. 11 years ago I was feeling down in the dumps and we went with my wife in our favorite restaurant of the moment to rise a glass and cheers up us a bit.
