Ooh, the wolf is fantastic. I don't know Discworld at all, but all three of the humanesque guards look so individually awesome, the goofiness of the zombie, the sexiness of the vampire and the pure energy and intelligence of the leader. Really a great pic that makes me want to give the series a try, if only to find out who these people are!

Thank you!

Discworld is awesome or at least I love it a lot. It started out as a fantasy/RPG parody, but ended up making fun of just about everything in human nature, and making some pretty good observations thereof in the process - and the (thousands of) characters are fantastic.

Reg Shoe the zombie is so funny - he's a spokesperson for undead rights, and is often seen wearing a badge that says "Glad to be Grey" or "Undead yes - unperson no!" The teen vampire is a fairly late addition to the cast, and was mainly there to bounce the werewolf off (featured in her wolf-form), but she's fun to draw. :D And Vimes. God. You have to read the books. He goes from a loser to SUCH a winner in the space of a couple of books.

Ahem. Yes. I kind of fangirl. :D

*blink* Wow. Diagrams.

*blink* That's actually very helpful...

Okay, so can I start with "Guards Guards" and move from there?

Definitely! That's what I'd recommend. I can't decide if I like the guards or the witches best. Just. Love. :D
