google images, or look on some discworld site maybe? I dunno, was curious as to who you were asking about, so had a quick look myself!
They are all (at the least the first two are) characters from the book 'Pyramids' by Terry Pratchet. It isn't an illustrated book but does have a richly decorated cover and you might be able to get some ideas from there. Pteppic was the son of a Pharaoh who trained as an assassin (think lots of black clothing) and Ptraci was a hand maiden (standard two saucepan lids and some gauze), not sure about Jerakeen unless he was the wicked High Priest. Cover art

Jerakeen is one of the four elephants who support the Discworld.


You should be able to find images of Pteppic and Ptraci on the lspace website. Go to Art and Graphics/Josh Kirby/book covers/Pyramids.


The picture of the four elephants supporting the Discworld while standing on the back of the giant turtle can be found on Paul Kidby's website under colour prints - The Great A'Tuin.


Sorry I can't post links; my technical advisors are in bed (schoolnight)!


Your I.T. Manager can't be that peculiar, as he obviously has good taste in literature!
