Guards! Guards! Carrot

Guards! Guards! Carrot

For our next illustration, we have our other main character, Carrot Ironfoundersson, on his way to Ankh Morpork.

I was originally thinking of having Carrot’s first appearance with his father, being told he was not a dwarf. However, I really couldn’t find enough information to work with. It was one of those scenes where two characters are talking and do not see any need to say anything else. Besides, I wanted to get back to Ankh Morpork as quickly as possible.

So, here’s a nice forest scene, of Carrot’s travels. I wanted to put in more dangerous things, such as a cringing wolf, but it already felt too crowded.

It was a five hundred mile journey and, surprisingly, quiet uneventful. People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, “Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.”
