Who's a Pretty Boy, Then?

Description

“Little blue and green birds were clustered around it, cheeping happily in the late afternoon light. They scattered when Rincewind lay down to drink, and scolded him from the trees.
When he sat up one of them landed on his finger.
‘Who’s a pretty boy, then?’ said Rincewind.”

The Last Continent (Terry Pratchett)

For the contest.

I had actually planned to draw this scene as soon as I read it, which was before I had even asked to join the club. I had it half finished when I was accepted. Then I found out that the contest was to draw a picture based on a scene or quote in one of the discworld novels. I don't know why I liked this scene so much. I guess it was because Rincewind didn't run screaming from the little budgie ^_^

If you have no idea what I am going on about, you need to read one of the discworld novels by Terry Pratchett; they are very good.

How did I miss this one?! That whole section, from when he stops at the billabong with the budgies to the next day when he's digging for water for the sheep, is one of my absolute favourite parts in any Discworld book. :D I love how you've drawn the little budgies, they're so cute!
