Fan Art Round-Up: Terry Pratchett

So this week, we've lost one of the greatest fantasy writers of our generation, Sir Terry Pratchett. Coming so close on the heels of the deaths of Lenard Nimoy and Ray Bradbury, the loss feels a bit overwhelming. These men played such an enormous part in my childhood, loosing them all at once feels a bit like the floor falling out beneath my feet.

Such a sad day today. Terry Pratchett was my favourite author since high school. I’d go in early with my sister, and curl up in a chair in the library with his books. His books take up a good third of the bookshelf beside me. I’ve never read an author with such a sense of character and humour, a world with such a level of development. Terry Pratchett may be gone, but the stories he wrote will remain (and I’m sure tomorrow, there’ll be another sun rise on Discworld).

“And with the music of Thomas Tallis playing on my iPod, I would shake hands with Death.“I was crying so hard whilst drawing this that my hands were shaking and it was difficult to do the inking :’DDHe meant the world to me. We’ve lost whole worlds, universes today - but I’m glad for all that he shared with us on paper.Thank you for everything, Mr Pratchett.
