In case you missed it yesterday: #Pratchat89 is out now!

Join Liz, Ben and @pcgamer.com’s Jody Macgregor as we discuss the very reasonable and logical 1995 graphic adventure game #Discworld.

Find us wherever you get your podcasts to hear all about this tale of donkeys, octopuses and custard…
A black and white photo of a desk with a monitor, retro keyboard, mouse and large mug, cluttered with other bits of computer equipment in the background. On the screen is a scene from the Discworld computer game showing Rincewind the wizard and his Luggage (a treasure chest with dozens of tiny legs) in a city square with Dibbler (a vendor with a tray around his neck). Propped between the keyboard and monitor is the manual for the game.

#shredded

I put a tiny shadow on the Gull's face and then I had to commit.

#seagulls #comic #sketch #sherlock #mouse
A shadow falls over a mouse about to stab another mouse. In the next panel two seagulls bear him into the air. In the final panel the mouse left behind looks away grimacing.

Catching up with #sweep and #pierce.

Some of the panels got away from me a bit but the story continues.

Day 9 - #Heavy. I really like inking water... Still working on getting shadows feeling right.

#sketch #ink #drawing #mice #comic #greatmousedetective #sherlock
A mouse with a rapier surveys the water from a boat. Seeing a floating bowler hat, they smile but then are struck by a plank wielded by a dripping wet mouse with a moustache.

Is there anything more #Reckless than inking before you've figured out your drawing?
A mouse in Victorian clothes sees a boat exiting a tunnel. They run down some stairs and dive into the water after it.

- catching up. I don't mind the roughness but some details get lost.

Would love to have the skill/time to really get a sense of the shadowy bulk of the starfish in the light of the tunnel - one day.

A mouse with a sword flees a burning room and down some stairs where a boat waits in a tunnel. Human sized garbage is visible in the foreground and a giant starfish clings to the tunnel above the boat.
