Sybil Sketch Color Bust

Sybil Sketch Color Bust

I've pretty much motored through the entire Discworld series by Terry Pratchett and thoroughly, thoroughly fell in love with the City Watch subseries, for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is the fantabulousness that is Sybil Vimes (nee Ramkin). I finally broke down and drew her. This would probably be appropriate for somewhere around the end of The Fifth Elephant. I always imagined the dress she was wearing when she finally gets to share a significant piece of news with husband Sam to look something like this.

This version was colored in The Gimp, making heavy use of the pattern tool, in a desperate attempt to actually have the dress look like fabric and give it a bit of texture.
