Artist's Comments

This is Sam's wife.
She's a duchess.
She looks after baby dragons (so she wears a big chestnut coloured wig)
Terry pratchett seems to liken her physically to an opera singer - big and bold.
I hope i captured the boldness and vulnerability of Sybil here.
I like this pic (not just because of the cleavage)
Enjoy...

Wow, this is the best version of Sybil I've seen so far. It's better than the Sybil of my imagination. I've got a much better idea of what she looks like now (I thought that I would forever be doomed to picture the Josh Kirby version of her from the cover of Guards! Guards! *shudder*) Thank you for replacing the image in my mind's eye with this one ^^; Nicely done

Thankyou very much :) What a lovely compliment. I always pictured her more feminine. Paul Kidby did a fairly good likeness but the chin is HUGE and not very, you know, feminine.

I just finished reading The Fifth Elephant, and I completely agree with your interpretation of her, especially after this last book. I feel that you have captured her strength and fragility in a beautiful balance here. She is feminine but not overly so. You can tell she possesses kindness, but she won't be taken advantage of. I guess you've gotta be tough to raise dragons though! Where would the Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons be without her? I will stop rambling now, and just say excellent job. :+fav:

Now I will never be able to remember what I thought sybil once looked like, because your drawing is cemented into my brain and sybil is defined by it.

Beeeauuuutiful

Finally, a Sybil that actually look like Sybil. I hate it when people just can't imagine her fat, Sam unhandsome and Granny Weatherwax ugly. They, like, can't understand that positive characters don't have to be beautiful. Yet your Sybil has the characters kind of gracefulness.

Thankyou - I feel the same way - she comes across to me in the books as someone who isn't married at the time she met Sam, not due to looks, but because she doesn't fit in with the snobs and is too high up to really be lumped in with the peons. I just got this image of a Julie Walters kind of character - very boisterous and strong but with a kind of sensitivity and vulnerableness. The Fifth Elephant is probably the best book in this sense.

Do you agree?
