‘“That's a nice song," said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time. "It's an old soldiers' song," he said. "Really, sarge? But it's about angels." Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits. "As I recall, they used to sing it after battles," he said. "I've seen old men cry when they sing it," he added. "Why? It sounds cheerful." They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.’ Night Watch, Terry Pratchett, 2002 #discworld #nightwatch #terrypratchett #seehowtheyriseup #theglorious25thofmay #ankhmorpork #fantasyart #digitaldrawing #design #posterdesign #badge #samvimes #taleofsam87 #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGZJuzA8MZ/?igshid=19rnvhxfqtepv

Last article to draft this semester: Pterry's rhetorical ethics in discworld. I'm spending tonight with NIGHT WATCH, SNUFF, and WYRD SISTERS, hunting down headology and good men speaking symbolic law into social constructs while a narrator keeps me from being courted by his own characters. #gnuterrypratchett #professoring #rhetoricdoneright #grannyweatherwax #samvimes

I always imagined Commander Vimes to look like a grumpier, younger Clint Eastwood #sketchbook #art #ink #comic #fantasy #medieval #armor #instaart #artoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #charactersketch #discworld #samvimes #terrypratchett #ankhmorpork #iliketoimaginethatsybilgavehimthatscarf

Talking with @loopydavestuff about Discworld and depicting the characters from the books he said he'd like to see me draw Sam Vimes. So here it is a quick blue colored pencil sketch which saddly was done too late for the Glorious 25th of May...#terrypratchett #discworld #samvimes #thewatch #commandervimes #glorious25thofmay #art #drawing #sketches #illustration #characterdesign

His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh; Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch.

#TSSChallenge Day 3: OTP - Fave Couple My favorite fictional couple is Sam Vimes and Lady Sybil Ramkin from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. In "Guards! Guards!" City Watch Captain Samuel Vimes isn't feeling the best about himself or his life. While on a fact-finding mission to learn about dragons, he meets Sybil, a member of nobility who is friendly, charming and down-to-earth, despite being at least a foot taller than him. Sybil can see the good man behind the gruff exterior and thinks of Sam as a gallant hero. They were made for each other.

Do you remember that line from Night Watch where Sam has an internal monologue that goes approximately like that: “He wanted to go home. He wanted to go home it hurt”. It was amazing line and I think it also illustrates well that despite being stuck in an unprecedented situation (like us) he persisted and did the right thing and did not give into despair. Also this book is a great reminded that any fight for good is worth. Maybe it won’t yield result today, or even tomorrow, but it just might saw the seeds of goodness. It’s a one in a million chance, but it’s good odds. (Kyiv, Ukraine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnHFjonicm0ggo9YheQItxmgXZjVA9T7zHeyw0/?igshid=k6og6ycw952j
