Description
Decided to paint up the image of the author, Terry Pratchett, from Inktober last yearΒ ΒProbably should have waited until his birthday or anniversary of his passing, but any day is a good Pratchett day I guess and he will always be missed.
No elephants were harmed in the making of this image, though two of them did get very bored by the end.

Dude. Seriously. Your art outmatches the Jim Henson company and Disney art college combined. Play it right and you'd be totally rich

Haha! Yes, apparently nipples are important for posthumous longevity

It was always a considerable annoyance to any Disc citizen with pretensions to culture that they were ruled by gods whose idea of an uplifting artistic experience was a musical doorbell.
βThe Light Fantastic
Mort stared down at his fried eggs. They stared back from their lake of fat. Albert had heard of nutritional values, and didnβt hold with them.
βMort
Heβd expected high white towers rearing over the landscape, and flags. Ankh-Morpork didnβt rear. Rather, it sort of skulked, clinging to the soil as if afraid someone might steal it. There were no flags.
βGuards! Guards!
Thereβs a lot of loose thinking about magic. People go around talking about mystic harmonies and cosmic balances and unicorns, all of which is to real magic what a glove puppet is to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

I read that as "nipples"... had to pause on that and look again.Β Didn't make a lot of sense...

Haha! Unfortunate choice in fonts... unless Terry Pratchett was being particularly weird and cryptic in that quote

As for the elephants, you might hear from the FCoCASE (Federated Council of Cruelty Against Space Elephants) Β next time. Β Because they never forget, of course...

Always felt it wise to treat a six tonne animal with a lot of respect, but I will be on the look out from any legal correspondence from 'FCoCASE' just in case

"No elephants were harmed..." although one did complain about being nothing more than a pair of back legs and a shadow.

Loopydave In reply to DanielCoffey [2019-02-05 05:38:48 +0000 UTC]
Not sure why it was complaining... it got paid just as much as the other elephants for modelling

Amazing artwork!
On a side note my brain didn't fully switch to cursive mode when reading, so I got confused when it said 'ripples'.

Loopydave In reply to SirWhatnot [2019-02-05 05:48:26 +0000 UTC]
Yes, the cursive was a rather unfortunate choice... though nipples are important too
