More Mort stuff ⌛️

Ysabell - Mort (Discoworld by Terry Pratchett)

Last year, @mirtadraws and I, we started to read together, to each other, because I'm really bad for reading for my own, but reading for her is so nice and funny 💕

For a long time I wanted to read something by Terry Pratchett and fortunally Mirta is a huge fan than wanted to read again the books with me and we started with Mort!

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I didn't spect how fucking funny it is and all the horrors at the same time that a moderm reference appears with a gigant note. That has caught me a lot, i didn't spect that I will love so much Terry's writtings!! I'm really glad that to now enjoy everything at the same time that I'm sad to not read all his books before 😩

I want to draw more of this funny and silly characters!

Please NO SPOILERS , I just read Mort , Maurice and now I'm with The Colour of Magic , thanks so much :'-)

You know, I think for now my favourite Discworld couple is Mork×Ysabell. I'll be honest,at first, when I just read "Mort", I didn't like them at all. Found them kinda.. I don't know, implausible? Unnatural, I'd rather say. But that was about 7 months ago. And where are we now? Me, the one how drawing on paper really rarely and mostly only sketching, just drawn a full illustration. Holly Molly. Still can't believe myself, but I really love what I've made.

Yup, that's how I imagine their adult versions. I took as a reference 16-17th centuries fashion. I just feel like this epoch is befitting for "Reaper man" book, or something like that. Sorry if I've misunderstood something, I only read "Mort", "Reaper man" & "Soul Music", so, yeah.

For me their relationship sounds like song "Rule 1: Magic" by "Fish inside a birdcage" band, and you can't change my mind

Some work process: ✨

You're right – this a redrawing of J.C. Layendecker's artwork. I'll pin it in case if someone else was looking for this picture, or just wants now to do a redrawing too

The fateful introduction between newly wed Ysabell Duchess of Sto Helit and Lady Sybil Ramkin, thus kicking off a marvelous lifelong friendship.

or: I take a throw away line mentioning Sybil knowing a 'charming young couple needing a new captain of the guard in Sto Helit' and wonder what their first meeting was like...

Rated Teen and Up

I was thinking about Discworld couples for a Discworld group chats Valentine's ship fest, and I've noticed a sort of running theme among the couples Terry Pratchett writes. Much to think about....

Bonus times ot3 because they technically aren't canon but also I couldn't NOT include them

In short, Mort was one of those people who are more dangerous than a bag full of rattlesnakes. He was determined to discover the underlying logic behind the universe.
