I realized, when looking for backup after redesigning Snape, that I hadn't scanned a few of my later Holmes drawings, so

Tim McInnery plays the head baddie in the TV series episode of The Red-Headed League, but of course he is more famous for his recurring role in Blackadder ...


I don't remember the original story behind this (beyond a reference to the Royal Society of Adventurology) and the only person who could remind me has gone off the internet, so it can just be your daily dose of surrealism.
I think I posted this before but not with such a pretty font. This is just after Holmes announces he's engaged.

I'm FINALLY working on updating my site but have been stalled by losing the password to my host's domain. Heheh. Maybe I shouldn't have written it down on a piece of paper that I left on my nightstand* ... Of course I could just move everything onto my own domain but that is such a hassle — and I ought to be animating anyway. Besides, I'd have to buy a heck of a lot more bandwidth.

[translation: LAZY**]

I love your Holmes and Watson- the designs are just brilliant. Oh and that whole Milverton story was so full of laughs- god i wanna re-read. Are you going to continue them still?

Dunno, I kind of exhausted all the scenes that weren't just standing around talking. ;)

I am basking in the Holmes-love. Whatever is going on in #2 is amazing, I am sure of it.

Love the one with the beach ball. The expressions and energy are brilliant.

Should you ever need it, you can use a tool called HTTP Track (I'm sure there are others too, to copy an entire web site to your local drive. This would be perfect, say, if your PC died and all your stuff was on a web site somewhere and you could not otherwise retrieve it.

I've got it all on my HD and external HD ... looks like a useful tool otherwise, though.

I'm sure it had something to do with these guys (http://torontoist.com/2005/10/weekend_field_t_4.php).

<3 I love your Holmes design! I was watching random movies last night and decided that Richard Amritage or Daniel Craig would make awesome Holmes... but thats just cause I'm not as creative as you in the character design department, I need reference and you just go from your head cause your amazing! LOL! I love the happy "wow Holmes is liek engaged CONGRATULATIONS" face, he looks so happY! xD
Which Tv episodes did you watch? I watched the ones with Matt Fewer like four years ago or whenever they were released they were pretty good. Have you ever read the Enola Holmes series? they;re awesome! I wrote an e-mail to the author Nancy Sprniger and she wrote back like in three days! it was awesome!

I adore #2. "Sherlock Holmes" and "beachball" in near proximity is always going to be funny, and the expressions are just so...expressive. I bet that's how Watson looks when Holmes does his indoor target practice, too.

I fell over laughing at the second picture, and then called my cousin over to see it and she fell over laughing too. Wonderfully surreal.

Watson..

YAY!!! i like your Watson design...he looks more like the Watson from the original stories. he wasn't originally a huge guy, he was...well, more like this. at the library, i found some illustrations from "The Strand" from when the stories were originally published (unless my library is lying to me) and he is actually not as Chubby as the television likes to stereotype him as. ^^ That last sketch is great - and comical, of course ^^
