Softly as Starlightby *JesIdres

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Books & Novels

I was rereading Going Postal this week on the trains to work, and remembering why I happened to like Moist Von Lipwig so much, particualrly his profound use of pretty metaphors.

As I got to the end, a single line stuck out, when Moist is up on the Post Office roof, viewing the Clacks system. Sure, he knows it's all mathematics and is a corrupt system that he should hate, but instead, he'd kinda awed by the view at night, describing the great towers as:

"Silent at this distance, winking their signals above the rising mists, outlining their constellations against the evening....dropping words across the world as softly as starlight."

I couldn't draw this scene out by hand- it required colors for me to even think about it- but I had to get it down on screen/paper before I could move on. Not the best I've ever done, but pretty good for 2 1/2 hours of work.

Going Postal, Clacks, Moist von Lipwig, discworld (c) Terry Pratchett.

Oh, amazing. Really, really, good. You've got the colouring just right. And please draw more from GP!

Aww, Moist, admit it, you're a poet at heart!

Gotta love it. I

Moist, too. He's fab.

Actually this started as gift art for you, but it didn't meet the right standards.

Awww, that's a lovely thought

Perhaps I should draw Moist trying to chat up Angua who remains completely unimpressed...

*Moist runs head long into the wall that is Captain Carrot, who is smiling a smile no man should wear....*
Moist: Er... look I was just wondering if she knew where Spike was, Honest!

MISS DEARHEART: *annoyed* "Oh, Slick, as if he believes you. As if I believe you... 'Trust me'... Pfff!"
