SciFi and Fantasy Art Discworld: Otto Shriek by Tristan Bronkhorst

My favorite vampirecharacter from Discworld... He appears in the 25th novel called The Truth by The One And Only, Terry Pratchett! ^__^
Otto Shriek is proudly member of the Black Ribbon who signed the pledge...Furthermore, the fact that he's a vampire and iconographer, everytime he flashes a bright light with the salamanders for his iconograph...
'I sometimes crumble to dust. But zat vich does not kill us makes us stronk.'
'Stronk?' William asked.
'Indeed!'

Thats why he keeps a small bottle of animal blood to revive him, whenever he feels to crumble to dust... LOL

15 Jun 2004	Anonymous Cat	Loading... Very good!!! yay! Vould you like to come to our sink-sonk? ^.^ Must admit, I picture Otto in more subdued clothing (and with a wee bit less chest hair), but I shall accept it, regardless XD I like how you remembered to include all the details (the salamandars, the vial of blood [Hey! U think that Billy-Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie read The Truth?? XD ], and the imp). Do more Discworld, OK!!!
2 Jan 2005	FanaticMonk	Loading... Just an uncertain word to the wise: I'm fairly sure that his name is Otto Chriek, not Shriek. Tristan Bronkhorst replies: "yes you are right! must be subliminal effects that made me read a 's' for a 'c'. i'll correct this."
20 Jan 2005	CAVEmAN	Loading... omfg...its OTTO...the way i pictured him more or less when i red the book...diskworld novels are awesome...i still remember reading the amazing maurice in less than 4 days...my first diskworld novel...now im hooked...truth was an awesome book...otto was my fav character in that book...next to mr tulip and mr pin (i think it was...i read it a while ago)...maybe you could draw a pic of them =D this is brilliant artwork tho...luv it LOVE IT
22 Jan 2005	Swallow-me-own-tripes dibbler	Loading... YAAAY!!!!! Terry Pratchett-ness! Mr. Chriek's my favourite character in The Truth. Death's the all-time fave, though.
3 Feb 2005	The lanky nerd	Loading... ill agree with the last guy Deaths the best ! (no im not a goth i mean the character lol). great picture all the same , ive got all the books in order up to "jingo" but i read about otto in "monstrous regiment" . somehow i can never imagine vampires without the cape but i really like your drawing and the details like the imp and salamnders are cool !
18 Dec 2005	Bryan J. Toy	Loading... Fabulous! Not in your regular style.... buch more caricature-like. Love that Pratchet!!!
7 Apr 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Otto! Who could not love a vampire who commits suicide on a twice-daily basis!
30 Jul 2007	Nicholas Fields	Loading... I thought in the book "Thud" he was described as dresing like the stereotypical vampire i.e. with a lareg black cloak, red lining with large pockets containing all of his equipment.
12 Feb 2008	Rødtopp	Loading... That’s true. All the discworld vampires are described wearing an opera cloak. Even the ones who refuse to give in to the clishé still wear it, even though it may be flanellette, or denim.
29 Jun 2009	Mariposa Gollery	Loading... Awesome!!! I love the imp.
