Artist's Comments

A scene from "The Science of Discworld II: The Globe". The wizards of Unseen University have travelled back in time to stop themselves from changing the course of history. After explaining the situation to themselves, the time comes for one half of the group to return and leave the other ones to vanish. Of course, a fight breaks out between which ones are the "true" wizards and which ones should be left to disappear into a history that never was. While all the other wizards are fighting their doubles, Rincewind and his past self are standing at some distance away talking calmly amongst themselves and shaking their heads at the other wizards' stupidity. Finally, to decide which one gets to return, they decide to settle the matter simply by tossing a coin.

This was part of a trade I did with :iconrhianimated:. Quite a while ago she made herself a wonderful Rincewind hat, complete with the word "wizzard", sequins, patterns and a star at the top. I expressed a strong desire to own a similar hat myself, so she agreed to make me one in exchange for some Discworld fan arts. We're both big Rincewind fans, so I was happy to have an excuse to draw some of my favorite scenes.

I can only please one person each day.

Today is not your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking good either.

See the little goblin, see his little feet, and his little nosy-wose - isn't the goblin sweet?
:iconhunlin:
Great one, as always!
Keep up the good work, Jess!

Hey now that I think about this bit, something seems a little odd (other than the fact there's 2 of him). Rincewind, as we are very much aware of, is very scared of dying. But here the 2 Rincewinds are quite calm about the fact that 1 of them will soon cease to exist. Maybe they know the surviving 1 will actually be both of them combined, with the memories of both.
:iconjesskat83:
That's how it was explained in the book, yes. Somehow all the other wizards failed to grasp that concept and tried to fight each other, even Ponder Stibbons. :D

Rincewind may not be a good wizard, or very smart... but he has his own brand of wisdom and odd luck, and it seems to see him through most situations.

Besides, they both know that neither of them can really fight. =P So it's kinda pointless to do so.
