Depending on how work goes this year it might be a while before the actual final piece sees the light of day - so I'm releasing the animatic for the Guards! Guards! animated trailer on the unsuspecting public.
I was hoping it could work as both a trailer/intro animation to a non-existant Guards! Guards! animated show, and I think it turned out pretty neat! I hope you enjoy.
Ran into the "Ogg Vorbis" audio file format for the first time today.....immediate reaction was "surely not. One is believable. But two discworld characters cannot be a coincidence"
And sure enough:
Two is not a coincidence, but one could have been.
A VetVimes comic! Based on an image that appeared in my brain after reading Feet of Clay that sent me into a fugue state for a month after which I awoke with about 25 pages sketched out (and counting)
future updates will be a single page but I wanted this one to have 4 to be a lil introduction to the Vibes
Fun fact pages 3 and 4 were basically the first times I drew Vimes and Vetinari
do you think havelock kept tabs on sam after the revolution bc he wanted to do SOMETHING for keel? do you think he kept thinking about what keel would do in certain situations (average teenage crush experience)? do you think he followed him home one time and saw how sweet sam was to his mother and never did it again bc it made him miss his own mother too much? do you think he was there when sam moved out? do you think he was there the first time sam drank himself black out drunk (and maybe even made sure no one jumped out at him from the shadows)? do you think he silently despaired every time he saw sam with a drink? do you think he thought about keel? do you think that while his plans were working to take down the watch he didn't feel even remotely proud bc he was destroying sam with it? do you think he finally let himself feel something for sam when they were in the dungeon? (do you want think he calls him 'sam' in his head all the time?) do you think the revelation that sam was keel makes it harder and harder for him to deny his feelings?
Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just:
Here's a funny little joke
Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later
Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept
Here's a unique and well written simile
Here's a lil guy
Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day
Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day
Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying
Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned
Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way
Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way
Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid
Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!
