Prestidigitation

I’ve just been re-reading one of my favorite novel series, and sketched some spontaneous fan art for it:

I wonder if anyone can guess who these gentlemen are meant to be? Hint: Each one is formidable in his own right, and they tend to appear together. A cookie to the first person who guesses right.

Edit: ivoryandhorn got it! It’s Lord Vetinari, Captain Carrot, and Commander Vimes from Discworld. Best male characters in the series, I opine. ♥

For Julia! It’s Eiji, the charming muse from the webcomic 9th Elsewhere:

He’s my favorite character from the comic. Gotta love those little ear-wings. ♥

It’s Zintiel! From Flaky Pastry!

(Because zombifying the Neighbour probably doesn’t count as proper fan art.)
