So in a world where belief makes reality, in several decades on, you're gonna find someone in Ankh Morpork who swears that they saw a copper emerge from the shadows, lit only by a cigar and surrounded by a faint sheen of smoke, and it will smell like rain even if it isn't raining, and this man will say something like "I'll stop doing that right now if I were you, kid," then if the someone was doing something they shouldn't have been doing they sure won't be doing it after seeing him just disappear into the shadows after they take a swing at him.

And if what they had been doing was something really bad, well, then the man doesn't even speak. He just emerges between them and their would-be victim. And then a flash of darkness, a sense of immense age, and a flick of a tail.

Unfortunately this matrices was stolen and did not had a chance to make a full printing edition, this was my first drawing in a copper plate. Although not perfect i loved this one dearly, so i'll share the only register i have of it. This was printed in rice paper testing from darkest ink to lighter, and this only original was offered as a gift to a wonderful house mate i had in Uni times that loved it :) Have a good one, love and let go ^^
