The new year is in full... swing! Pleased to say that Night Watch was my last book of the year (and if my schedule doesn't improve, possibly my last book before adulthood...). For that reason I decided to draw Vimes (as John Keel) and Captain Findthee Swing's brief battle... but they're lindy hopping as they fight. Because. (gosh, how many swing puns can I fit in here?) Normally I'd make whoever's up here with Vimes a little taller (in contrast :P) but they're both short people, it's okay.
I'm listening to the Cuphead soundtrack as I draw, but I wish I knew better tracks to dance to. For a while I considered Michel Legrand's Arrivée des Camionneurs, but that's a little more... ballet-y. If the horrible BBC adaptation got dibs on punk rock Ankh-Morpork, could we have Jazz-Morpork, maybe?
Here, have an unrelated doodle of Wuffles trying to lindy hop with Vetinari (not). A while ago I was trying to draw him, but all attempts at eyes revealed too much. Until I learn to draw truly unreadable eyes, he's joining Magrat in the opaque glasses club. It's a good look.
