What a great post! I don't think I'd seen any of these fanarts before, and the Unseen University library miniature is amazing! Love the backgrounds/landscapes from both artists, the Cheery sketch, and the movie poster especially. And the more Kidby-esque arts are not exactly my style, but are lots of fun!
I have a question for you: have you ever found good Granny and/or Nanny art? I've found great art of pretty much everyone else out there, between fan and pro, but not a single one that really looks like the Witches to me. But you've clearly delved much more deeply into Discworld art than I have.
About the witches, hmm, if we're speaking less Kidby-ish style, how about Sandy Nightingale? Here they have it bigger, though only one pic. There's also Théophile Peuplier's Nanny and Granny. But they're rather less in my taste, as I'm happy with Kidby enough, so I don't know how you find these. :)
The official guide looks quite nice. Better than a group of lists. Too bad it's completed. :(
Bingeley-Bingeley-Birthday He looks a bit like Rupert Graves (or is it just me?). I might have a new headcanon. It might last for a while.
French editions’ of Discworld cover art by Marc Simonetti. *is in love* "The colour of magic" <3 "A hat full of sky"! "Soul music" :D "Small gods"! "Moving pictures"! Why aren't they official covers in Poland again?
The minature library is incredible. I <3 Ankh-Morpork, said no one ever ;)
He looks a bit like Rupert Graves (or is it just me?). Maybe, I don't really know him. :) (Though I apparently have seen at least one of his movies.)
Why aren't they official covers in Poland again? Because they'd be butchered anyway as Kidby most of times is. :P And it seems Prószyński thinks people won't recognize older ones if there is anything other than Kirby on them... And that's why I have to own two ugliest editions of Good Omens that exist. Then again, for some reason there's much competition on this... Discworld is much more lucky.
I <3 Ankh-Morpork, said no one ever ;) Twoflower certainly did. Repeatedly. ;D
Though I apparently have seen at least one of his movies. V for Vendetta, possibly? I haven't seen that. To me, he's just one of these actors who suddenly appear on screen, playing supporting characters :)

I love those who make notes before commenting! *g*
I wasn't initially thrilled by TerminAitor and then I found the Feathery Dragon (nothing to do with Pratchett) and have fallen in love. Not really my favourite style, but I keep it at hand for its originality and technic quality, and I thought maybe someone would like it better than me. Nice to know it at least partially worked.
Like you, I would like a whole comic illustrated by disasterscenario They should give him/her the job on official comics instead of what we get... I would totally buy it.
I love the Emporium and now have an ambition to visit. It is possible, I think/hope. If you do, I'm certainly not the only who wants a report!
The Peuplier witches are to my taste so thank you for those!! Heh, I should have made the entry much longer. Then again, he's not really to my own taste, so that's why I haven't included him in the first place.
All those highways and byways you take us down!! All those discoveries!!Heh, maybe LJ should make it an option, "Throw My Readers Back". *

Thank you for such wonderful art! I especially liked the library, so brilliantly done! I can only stare in awe at it all and enjoy such a variety of talent.
