Discworld - Rincewind in Ankhby ~puggdogg

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Books & Novels

MEDIUM: Digital Painting
TOOLS: Corel Painter, Photoshop + Wacom
TIME: On and off for a few days

Recently I was commissioned to illustrate a sketch of Rincewind from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series [link]. For the fun of it I decided to colour it digitally. I also used this as an excuse to practice with Corel Painter. For me it's a bit more difficult than Photoshop. Kept trying the PS shortcuts but they didn't work.

It's quite a bit different from the original sketch. I changed the layout by making Rincewind fill the frame more and I completely changed the background. But I kept the story happening. The Luggage is creeping up on Rincewind but he doesn't know that it's the box on legs. He can just hear the sound of many feet coming his way. In a desperate attempt to appear intimidating, Rincewind finds a nearby branch and wields it, ready to swing.

It’s so rare that I get to critique original cartooning styles so this is a breath of fresh air among all the anime. I dig that and the coloring is very nice and reminds me of an actual painting.

There are a couple little problem though, his arms are of greatly different thicknesses- the one that is in front is really skinny while the one more in shadow is much thicker. Either way is fine to go, both thick or both skinny, but personally I think the thicker would look nicer.

Both his eyes and face are shaded and highlighted fantastically but his eyes don’t blend that well into the rest of his face. They should be a little grittier to match the rest.

Tiny note- his hands, although well drawn, are positioned a bit wrong for holding a stick, especially the upper one which isn’t connecting correctly to his arm.

What do you think?

That's really very impressive! I can't help but think this seems more like Rincewind than nearly any other picture I've seen. The colors are all fairly dark, which suits him in my opinion (based on the permanent state of fear he's in ;D).

As for the background, I must say I love the addition of the Luggage's shadow, which lends itself very well to the overall dark feel of the picture.

This is wonderfully executed, and all the details from Rincewind's 'weapon' to the Unseen University tower in the background make this picture truly impressive. Needless to say, if I had any spare money lying around, I'd request this as a print in a heartbeat.

That would awesome to see my art turned into a tattoo. You're very welcome to do so. I'd love to see the final tattoo if you decide on getting it done.

It'll take a long time, probably will get started in august, but I will make sure to show you, I just absolutely love how you captured the look on Rincewind's face
