Description
Captain Sam Vimes and Goodboy Pindle Featherstone the Third (everyone calls him Errol) X)HERE IS A DISCLAIMER: I always have reservations about posting fan art (and yet, most of my gallery is fan art??), mainly because of fear of people nitpicking to death the parts of the image what are not canon or worse, what aren't THEIR idea of canon and that's just messy. So what? And as I learned, even when I bother to take the time to research, 'mistakes' can still happen. Vimes with a full head of hair is not canon! His badge is the wrong type (omg I couldn't remember if the shield or star was the old/new style)! His shirt is BLUE instead of brown! Maybe Errol's nostrils aren't huge enough. Eat it.
Maybe Discworld fans aren't as crazy about that stuff. Especially when you have to skim five novels at once to get a decent mental picture XD BUT IT'S WORTH IT BECAUSE I LOVE SAMUEL VIMES HE'S THE SEXIEST FICTIONAL MAN OF ALL TIME. Feel free to argue if you think Vetinari is moreso.
EITHER WAY. I love this picture almost as much as I love SAMUEL VIMES so I can't hold out. I was too intimidated to do any fanart for years, but I suppose I got over it when I went on a reading binge last summer (I lived across the street from a library X3) and I couldn't contain the obsession any longer. *shriek!* DISCWORLD

This is probably my favourite Sam Vimes drawing out there. I think you captured him magnificently. β₯

100% with you on the sexiest of all time thing. Love this deviation. Β

This is so spot on to how I imagined he looked!

This picture is absolutely perfect. It just is Vimes, from the expression down to the sandals, it's just -him-.

I remember seeing this picture years ago, but never got to comment on it. It's as gorgeous as ever! THAT FACE. It glows like living tissue. (I love that about your art.) I've never read Discworld, but maybe I will some time!

Like many I have read everything Discworld, several times over, and your fanart is brilliant, a real quailty piece. Thank you for posting.

Your fanart is amazing! Can I use it for free fanzine "The World of Fantasy"? We have review of Pratchett's "Guards! Guards!" and need some illustration.

You know, I didn't realize it until I read your description, but as a straight man, Samuel Vimes is probably the only man I could acknowledge as being a sex son of a bitch!

Although I can see why you did steel and it looks better that way.

Lol nitpick time: Β his armor is copper. Look at the cover of Snuff. (Hardcover. )Β

Perfect drawing of the best Discworld character.Β

Looks pretty decent for his "early years" where he still was a drinker

This is just the way I pictured him! (and I've only gone through the first pages of Snuff) Great job!

I totally love this art! I'ts awesome! I am also a discworld fan and the guards books are probably my favourite

AWESOME! A Rincewind and a Vetinari draw will be so cool! *___*

Wait, those are Errol`s nostrils? I thought they were John Lennon style glasses 0_o

I have to say, that after going through all of the Watch books... This just *works*. Vimes is wonderfully done, and I just want to cuddle the hell out of Errol.. (with lots of protective gear on, and nothing flammable nearby, of course!)
Your work is incredible. I'd let the nit-pickers and naysayers simply froth themselves into a suitable puddle.

Sam Vimes is awesome, more awesome than many incarnations of the Doctor but I never got sexy. I mean his first appearance is an over the hill alcoholic like Cracker

Was the colour of his shirt even mentioned in the books? As i recall that was just the way Kidby did it. I could be wrong though...
Anyway, great job on Vimes. Who cares wether he looks exactly like someone else pictured him or not. That's impossible to achieve anyway. What IS possible to capture is the soul of the Character through expression and posture. And that is what you did, he really feels like Sam Vimes to me. Only thing I don't like are his sandals, but that's just my personal taste, I HATE sandals 
Anyway, great job

This actually complies quite well with my head-canon. Far more than that, you simply did a very good job.

Great piece, especially Errol. And about head-cannon, I always imagine Vimes to be on the short side.

Fantastic painting of a fantastic character (and Errol is just the icing on the cake). Brilliant!

I'm a straight man and I still agree with you - Vimes is the sexiest man alive. Like Gene Hunt crossed with Ventress and armed with a crossbow.
Amazing picture!

goodboy pindle featherstone is such a stud dragon lol
i do not have such thoughts about vimes as you but he is a good copper in a flat world gone mad

Man I'm right behind you there; Vimes is far, far more attractive than he has any right to be. Seriously, how does that even work?

argh disc world is so amazing and so is this

This is exactly as I picture him and I think that you have made a fantastic piece of art.
Also, I also love Samuel Vimes, he is such a cool character.

The best damn picture of Vimes that there ever has been.

It's great.
Paul Kidby's probably getting really nervous.
And yes, DISCWORLD

yuss!!!! discworld + captain vimes!!! I personnaly like carrot better, but vimes is second, followed closely by rincewind and twoflower, the discworld's one and only tourist. Terry pratchet is amazing.

I saw this and went 'ERROL!' <3
Beautiful, love this. And love Sir Samuel, because he's the best character IN THE DISCWORLD.

This is great, really quite true, only he's off the bottle now, but still totally encapsulates him. Also love the dragon!
