DISCWORLD Atlas cover
- Thread starter Who's Wee Dug
- Start date
From what Ian & Bernard have told us at DWCON2014 and Nullus Anxietas V, it's an actual full Atlas, plus a full-world-map, plus lots of text as per early-era travel guides. So, somewhat more similar to The Compleat Ankh-Morpork than to the Discworld Mapp (although the continents are probably all still in the same place)
A little peek inside, Feegled from DWE forum.

I like the style of the art, but there are some errors. Mrs Gogol's house in the swamp had four duck feet, not two. Also, it was the kingdom of Al-Ybi, not Djelibeybi, where a badly educated deity cursed the head of state with the Glod Touch.
I don't remember the Dire Yak at all. Did it appear before, or is it entirely new?

.... Unless paul kidby is doing the art i think i'll not buy the atlas, i mean the art is good, sure but for me the only true appearance of discworld characters/biengs are paul kidby's version.
I mean no offence, but they may aswell have hired some talented stranger off the street (ok, obviously thats what everyone is to each other hahaha but you know what i mean) and they expect me to view this strangers drawings as the "official" look of the characters? I want to feel a familiarity when i view discworld character art, i can only get that with P.K.
Doesn't mean i think the art is bad of course.
