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.

@davidrevoy @crossgolf_rebel I love the small glimpse on the Wee Free Men. Crivens! This is a really beautiful picture.

@peha If only I could do that and still have the result legal in term of copyrights... (Rhianna, please, grant me a perpetual license, I promise you won't regret it
)It will always be a regret that nothing from the Pratchett estate was put into Creative Commons SA. I always felt that it would have been a good fit in comparison to the closed nature of copyright inheritance.

The horse being on a cliff is really interesting visual. Compared to the real life one:

@doctormo Thank you for the link, I had no idea!

@doctormo Thank you for the link, I had no idea!
The way Pratchett poetically describes the horse as being the form what a horse in motion should be, really makes sense when you've seen the thing it's based on
I saw it in real life once on the train as we passed by.
