I'm very tempted to try some discworld fan art from the book/movie hogfather.  Specifically The Death of Rats.

I know i want to paint something, I even saved a rat skull and have a pork pie burried deep in the freezer for this. The turnips i pla ted specifically for this didn't grow, so I would have to get some from the store.

Anyway, if you know what I'm talking about, can you help me brainstorm?

And what's your favourite moments from the book and/or movie?

I also have a pair of old, falling apart, leather boots that could be used for props.

You need Quoth the Raven in there :D  
And I don't know how you make an expression of a sniggering rat... but... That WOULD be neat.

Quoth, absolutely belongs there!

We have his brother here.

In fact, I had a terrible job not naming this fella Quoth as Austin is such a Discworld fan.

He shares his brother's love of eyeballs too. He says these ones look a bit bloodshot, just the way he likes them...



He ate the lot of them. Though he did say they weren't like proper eyeballs. They had hard bits in the middle and weren't full of salty water like they should be.



I wonder if a painting through a raven's eyes could work?

Found my copy of hogfather, the only Terry Pratchett book I've found second hand.

And a tiny rat skull for practice.
