Artist's Comments

My first attempt at Moist Von Lipwig from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels (specifically, "Going Postal"). I did this as part of an art trade with Salamandersoup, and although I hadn't drawn Moist before I've done quite a few other Discworld things recently - which I usually post on my livejournal - [link] ;) - which I guess I should upload sometime when I'm not being so lazy :)


All Discworld characters copyright Terry Pratchett.

This is so Moist. It's been a while since I read "Going Postal," but this is absolutely Moist. He's pretty well up there in my list of favourite Pratchett characters, so seein' you take him on is cool beans.

V. awesome.

Thanks so much! "Going Postal" was the first Terry Pratcehtt book I read (about 5 months ago now) - I have to admit I haven't read any of the other Moist books yet, as I've kind of gotten preoccupied with Wizards, but I look forward to it :D I'm really glad my interpretation of him captured at least a bit of the moist essence :)
:iconwild-yak:
I love Moist's expression! It's so funny! However, i have a question--why is he riding side-saddle? (It fits his character, I just wondered why) :)

Hehe thanks :) I imagined while doing the pose that he'd just jumped up onto the horse's back and was saluting the crowd before racing off, so I guess he's riding side-saddle as he hasn't yet swung his other leg over? :P Either that or he's just being showy!

This just oozes Moist. Cheesy grin, shiny hat... it's all there.

I like the demon horse, too x)

Now the movie's turned into a play. Still good, though.

This is most likely one of my favorite interpretations of Moist. Boris is excellent too!

:iconobviously-subtle:
Yes! Going Postal is one of my ultimate favorite books :D
I love Moist, and I think you definitely captured his character here.

Thanks very much! And for reminding me that the horse is called Boris!! I was trying to remember his name for AGES :P
