You posted Death! Woohoo!

I told you that I love it, didn't I? Because I do, I do love this so very much. And isn't that such a fabulous scene? With all the tension building up to that moment and mwahaha

I LOVE YOU. You brilliant, wonderfully talented person.

Thank you so so so so much for this and everything you've done for me. I adore you.

You know, I was uncertain whether to mention Light Fantastic to you when I did - I was afraid you'd guess something ;P (What? You know I can get paranoid at times. :D)

Oh how I LAUGHED at the mention of Death's stick with the pineapple and the cheese. I was leaning towards the tree-talking bit, but at that I SO changed idea. (Which is why I mentioned it to you at all. *g*)

I LOVE YOU!

:D Wonderful! I like how grim he looks - a lot of fanart just portrays him as a tad too jolly or cartoony, which tends to ruin the joke.

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! Thank you so much! :D Actually, I wanted to play a bit more with his orbits, give him more of a "raising eyebrow" expression - but I was afraid that would have been cheating a little. ;P

Hahahahaha!! Good thing in this case that I don't know LF that well, cause this had me scrolling down going, "O-oh!" and on spotting the stick in his hand giggling rather badly.

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] hyel, HE looks the right kind of grim. :)

OH HOW I LOVE MOIST. Seriously. I love him so much. It was with Going Postal that I got absolutely sucked in the Discworld. :D

Thank you so so so much!

Moist is one of the most fabulous fictional characters I know <3 Have you read Making Money yet?

You're welcome :D Here he is again!!

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG YES. Of course I have! :D I agonized over it for a little while - but in the end I chose to leave in the bookshop a part of my wallet, instead of leaving there my heart near it ;D

[identity profile] lady-twatterby.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL SAME HERE KINDA. My bookshop was made of epic fail and STILL DOES NOT HAVE IT. I actually had to order it online.

[identity profile] winnett.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah for death! I love it. :)

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, thank you! :D

cuz you asked

[identity profile] spanambula.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
here's my 2 cents of criticism:

I wouldn't cover up the top of the scythe with the word balloon. I can understand it in the lower right corner, but at the top left, you have enough negative space to move it up. That way it also helps draw the eye down the page from the 1st text, to Death, then to the second balloon. (Also it would keep the text from being on the same horizontal plane as Death's eyes, which bothers me from a compositional standpoint.)

Otherwise, the drawing is good, the anatomy is solid, the rendering is nice. I might have put a touch less shading on the hand and arm bones so they pop a bit more against the shading of the sleeves, but the drawing is still clear as is.

Very nice!

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for your comment! :D

Aw, you say so? I admit I didn't notice that :/ Then again, I haven't really got a lot of practice with that kind of composition :)

Thank you so much! And I think you're right, I tried making them stand out more - but alas, the original drawing was a bit too small for me to do that ;) Plus, that kind of paper gets smudged if you look at it wrong. It's great for shading, but I have to manage to tame it a bit more. :D

BWAH HA!! That's fantastic. I love Discworld and am so happy to see people fanart for it. XD!!

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god. I tried to resist. I did. I swear. BUT IT WAS ALL IN VAIN. You heard about PTerry? :( I just saw a nice project (http://community.livejournal.com/discworld/797448.html) over here.

Thank you! :D

(Awww, I'm sorry! :( I saw it and I've saved it, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. D:)

[identity profile] liathcosan.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay Death! My favorite! :D

I'm about to read the Light Fantastic, once I finish my current book. This makes me more excited to start it!

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god. I loved that book SO MUCH. I won't be telling you anything because I don't want to spoil it for you, but believe me, you will love the trees.


And thank you so much! ♥ ♥ ♥

Nice!

You've heard the shit news about Pratchett, right? :(

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I did :( But I absolutely loved the way he said it. That man rocks so much.

Thank you! And GRARGH I owe you an email! D: (Well. I owe emails to pretty much everyone.) Sorry!

Not sure

[identity profile] spacedye-vest.livejournal.com 2007-12-20 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
if you've kept reading DiscWorld, but I saw this -and yes, I know you haven't watched any Doctor Who-, and thought you'd like it.

A case of unexpected Pratchett if you scroll down :)

I LOVE YOU.

PS: THANK YOU! ;)
