@davidrevoy 100% here for this! Though I see she has not yet decided to "wear midnight". ;)

But the lighting is so good! Beautifully captured!

I always wondered, if it is midnight blue or midnight black. Or both.

Any way my pick of colours. :-)

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.

@davidrevoy asking as an absolute layperson, how fast is speed-painting, how long did it take you to paint this?
Show threadDavid RevoyMar 12

@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.

Show threadTinaMar 13
@davidrevoy @climbertobby Celebrating the death anniversary sounds wrong somehow ...
Show threadDavid RevoyMar 13
@lazy @climbertobby Yes, both the act and the expression (probably a bit bad because of my FrenchEnglish skill). But we need an arbitrary date, and maybe seeing this online helps the family in this painful anniversary. Not really sure.

The first thing I noticed was that the pain was gone. The tall, thin, hooded figure let me bask in that for a moment. IT IS TIME "Oh," I said, looking down at the frail vessel I had inhabited all my life. "Right." COME "Do you remember," I asked as we walked, "everyone you come for?" YES "Fondly?" I DO NOT JUDGE. AS A RULE, I SPEND LITTLE TIME WITH PEOPLE AS THEY LIVE "No, but you spend some time with them after, like now." 1/2

@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.

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!
Show threadMartin Owens Mar 12

@davidrevoy

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.

Show threadJules she/herMar 13
@doctormo @davidrevoy I wouldn't call myself a spiritual person by any means, but I was reading A Hat Full Of Sky on a train and just after reading "It ain't what a horse looks like, it’s what a horse be.” I looked up and saw the Uffington Horse out of the window. A very odd moment when it felt like something bigger in the universe was gently tapping me on the shoulder.
