Description
'Rincewind screamed a hoarse, untranslatable yell of fury, bounced off the wall, snatched up a fallen rock as a crude club, kicked forward and stopped dead.The Librarian was crouched in the centre of the floor with the shears touching -but not yet cutting- the hat.
And he was grinning at Rincewind.
They stood like a frozen tableau for some seconds. Then the ape dropped the shears, flicked several imaginary flecks of dust off the hat, straightened the point, and placed it on Rincewind's head.'
-from Sourcery by Terry Pratchett.
It's the 'frozen tableau' part that produces a rather vivid image in my head.

The expressions are perfect, and I love Rincewind's balance! He's just on the verge of tipping one way or another, very precarious.

Just finished reading Sourcery about a week ago. The way you conveyed this scene is uncanny, and much resembles how the scene appeared in my head when I read that part, too.
Great job!

Wait, let me rephrase that; the way how this drawing resembles the scene how I imagined it is uncanny, not the actual way you drew it. That might've been insulting. XD
