Saturday Holmes

[tealin]

After catching up with four hours of Holmes plays I'd missed on account of not having RealPlayer at work, there was only one possible subject for my sketchbook last night:




Yeah yeah, he looks like a cross between Jacques and Otto, and is veering too old, but it's a start! Yes? I do like my Watson, he looks more like how I picture him in the plays and text without quite so much of the stereotypical pudgy old man. Is the moustache canon? I don't remember a specific mention of it but it seems to be pretty universal.

Oh, and what would be complete without Mycroft? Tee-hee.

If you want to give yourself a treat (before Wednesday and Thursday, respectively) listen to The Final Problem and The Empty House. Yay character development! Sir Conan Doyle is so mean to Watson.

I have any number of rational excuses for not sketchbooking on Friday but none of them matter; suffice it to say discipline is severely lacking in the sketchbook camp this year. I will do a compensatory page today and then ... try ... again.

Oh, your Holmes is so charming! XD

I never knew Watson was supposed to be a pudgy old man O.o I always thought he was good looking.

Have you NOT seen the Jeremy Brett Holmes???!!!! THEY ARE THE BEST!!! And I'm the scariest fan of that show, so if you don't like it, don't tell me.

That show was what got me to read them, and now I'm officially obsessed. *sigh* The scripts are so close to the books! They're just PERFECT.

I've seen at least one episode (The Dancing Men) but my loyalty lies with the radio plays. Clive Merrison is the Man. :) Script adaptations are also spot-on, the only deviation from canon being the dramatisation of what's usually told as backstory in the books, and occasionally putting lines that were originally narration into the dialogue. ...which is kind of necessary for a radio play...
