Miscellaneous pencil doodles

Found a 2B pencil and had some fun: my nerves are strung up so high lately...

#1: Igorina, stitching on that scalp. Came from long, painful memories of trying to gel individual hairs onto my scalp away from my neck when I was supposed to scrape everything into a clean, mess-less ballerina bun. You ever see people do that? How do you manage it? Kudos to all Igor(ina)s, and also our beloved Reg Shoe, I love imagining them repairing themselves with needle and thread in their spare time, I dunno, seems weirdly peaceful

#2: This came from my personal headcanon that Vetinari's "Si non confectus, non reficiat" motto applies to the Patrician's Palace. Hence, he never got around to fixing all the holes left in the corridors or whatnot by the dragon, and when winter comes the dirty snow blows in and leaves terrible moldy patches (he also insists in sleeping in his old room, the one the dragon blasted a hole in. Y'know, the several-floor drop to the main hall hole?)

#3: Sam Jr., sleepy... which I am too, by the way. Just a moment and Da will pack everything up and come read Where's my Cow? I know my last Sybil isn't black, but none of my character designs are solid at all. In fact, this was supposed to be a Sybil sketch before I realized it was running in entirely the wrong direction! Says a lot about how I draw.

Every time I read/hear this I think of that painting*, so this year I finally made a meme of it.

*Detail of The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga by Antonio Gisbert, 1888.

Listening to Making Money... (And having thoughts about fandom continuations)

I love stories about Sam Vimes (jr) becoming a copper just like his dad and the wonderful heartfelt moments that comes from those stories and explorations, I really do.

But you know what? I like to think Sam Vimes becomes the new Patrician. That would be one hell of a story. It would twist his father up so much but also make him proud, because you know that if a Vimes becomes Patrician, that Vimes is going to be able to make it work and do it his way.

Also, Older Vetinari and Moist totally grooming young Vimes, and occasionally getting blindsided by how well he cuts through their bullshit.

Tell me that wouldn't be amazing?
