Some changes
A point of vue a la Gaspode ( a little bone for this good little dog? ;-p)
A house in the background
cobblestones on the street and a try at a ground fog (with not enough
samples)

The atmosphere is very good.

Interestingly, in 2001 I made the attached scene. At the time I didn't know 
about Gaspode (or Ankh-Morpork either).

I think the point of vue is excellent there, Mort (*) is really 
impressive now

(*) isn't that its name in the books ?

Well  as I changed nearly nothing to your houses (brick wall is a
height_field  and I tuned ambients to 0) they really are the same.
Your dog is cleaner and healtier than Gaspode but he is obviously waiting
for the delicatessen to be placed on the stall. ;-)
This scene could be happening at twilight not too far from mine :-) good
mood

I'll have to work on the jaws though, the poser model lacks details there

Mort is an aprentice of  Death in the so named novel, not Death Himself
though the 4 Horsemen of apocalypse give him this nickname.
Indeed in french he is called "la Mort" but stays (kind of) male

I know it’s just my eyes (or works monitor) but the shadows in the
foreground give me the impression of a ghostly figure in a cape. Through a
glass darkly. Very nice.

Getting better and better. The shape of the light in the lamp looks too much
like an electric light bulb. I think a candle or a magical glowing sphere
might look more in place.

In strange ways, the Reaper succeeds to be present in images like this :-)

I was bound to a magic glow but I'm still searching the correct RVB values
for octarine ...
I'll try to put a candle in it

That's your problem it's RGBM with a high value for the magic component

I think the ground fog works really well. Nice image. Perhaps amplify the
glow from his eyes a little?

I think you mean the 5 horsemen of the apocalype, the 5th being Ronnie, who 
left before they became famous.
From "Thief Of Time".

btw, great representation of Anhk Morpork, looks like a small street 
somewhere in the Shades.
How much of the City could be built, virtually speaking of course.
I have a copy of the book, The Art Of Discworld, by the artists who produce 
the covers and illustrations to the books, very interesting.

You're right, The Drum backs onto the Ankh in Filigret Street at the end of 
Short Street, (according to the Mapp, The Streets Of Ankh Morpork).

The copy I am browsing is a library book, but I will be going to my local 
book shop to order it, some good illustrations, Lady Ramkins house, 
Assassins Guild, City watch, (3 views, front and 2 three quarter veiws from 
above, ideal for using as plans)
