Artist's Comments

A scene from the Discworld book "Feet of Clay". Sam Vimes has just walked in on an assassin hiding up in the ceiling of the dragon pen, and in his surprise the assassin loses his balance and only manages to hang on to the ceiling beam with one foot, while Vimes smugly starts tossing bits of coal to excited baby dragons just below the man.

" 'I suppose,' said the young man, 'that I could not prevail upon you to let me down?'
Another dragon caught some coal and belched a fireball. The young man swung desperately to avoid it.
'Guess,' said Vimes."

basically my favorite discworld scenes of all time are the ones in wich vimes is mocking various trapped assasins, foiled once again in their attempts to kill him. that and anything involving lu tze and metaphors. this rocks my socks, slices my ham, butters my toast, and various other annoying little euphemisms. you go. ya. :headbang:

Ohh... that was an awesome scene. Wonderful picture! Love the expressions.

Heh.

One of my favourite scenes. Very cool drawing... only.... Vimes looks so young! For some reason, I usually picture him looking somewhat like sf/fantasy author David Drake... possibly because I read Feet of Clay (my first Discworld experience) shortly after reading Drake's All the Way to the Gallows... which contained a couple of comedic fantasy stories, very similar to the kinds of things Pterry writes.

Yes.

Perhaps I'm just bad at making him look the right age. I always imagine him as being somewhere in his 40's-50's, around FOC at least. I have no idea how old he would be by "Thud!". But I can't imagine him being much over 50.

:O OMG.

Awesome. I love this. <3
:iconfoolishlyevil:
Since favouriting every one of your Discworld works would most probably be considered "over the top" (and a little insane...which I am but we wont go into that....ahem) I will settle for this one. I happen to love reading about Vimes and also the attempts of the Assasains on his life.

Your Logic Has No Place Here.....
:iconakiraine:
All of Vime's encounters with assassins are funny.

But this one was my favorite. Feet of Clay was my favorite book, too, except perhaps Thud! (and Good Omens...)
