Holmesian doodles and DC meme

[belphegor1982]

Sherlock Holmes is one of those fandoms I come back to every so often, and between the 2009 film with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law that I saw again recently, and the BBC's fantastic new series Sherlock (set in 2010 London), I find myself engrossed once more in the Canon (coming up to the climax of The Hound of the Baskervilles as my bedside book) and various fanfics (FF dot net author KCS writes excellent stuff, by the way, especially if like me you're a fan of both Holmes and Watson).

So, as usual when the need to draw takes me, I doodle. Here's a couple I did after hitting the 'Pause' button on my player during the end titles of the 2009 Sherlock Holmes:



And Watson. Rather proud of that one.



And since I'm working on a SH meme, here's my answer for question number five (I might post it when it's finished) - the first drawing of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as John I'm (somewhat) proud of. Somewhat.



Oh, and I did a DC meme way back in January - and had a lot of fun.



Colours at last :o)

Now, school's started again, and believe it or not it was a genuine blast to see all these faces again. The kids are so sweet - I got welcome back hugs (more like flying tackles for some!), grins, and "When are we going to the library/computer room with you again?" questions. Plus, there's been some changes in the staff, and a teacher who was very stressed out (and stressed everybody out) is gone, replaced with a charming, funny teacher whom I got a good feeling about.

Now there's just the question of how I'm going to go to work on Tuesday (bus strike), and how we're going to move into our new future flat (after four years of living in a one-room one, it's a welcome change) and when. It scares me a bit - I don't like moving houses - but we highly need the space and François needs somewhere to work that's not the bedroom. (We're gonna have a bedroom! Proper! Yay :P)

Now, if only I could find I Shall Wear Midnight in my bookshop...

I think Batman TAS is responsible for getting a lot of kids interested in DC comics and (later) animated universe :o)

We should start a club. Also, did you produce that Holmesian awesome by pen sketching? Your talent never ceases to amaze me.

[belphegor1982.livejournal.com]

Well, I sort of got lucky with the pen sketching, but yeah, this is a ball pen (is that what it's called in English?). Thank you so very much for making me blush like crazy :o)

And yeah, we should definitely start a club. The ITDBWOBS (Introduced To DC By Way Of BTAS Society)? ;D

Ball point pen. And I'm in awe.

ITDBWOBAS it is! But then we all know how I like naming/referring to clubs in that fashion. XD

EEE loving your Sherlock Holmes stuff!! And kcs is on lj too! She's into the Star Trek fandom atm though.

Your art is gorgeous, and I loved the new BBC series too <333

Thanks a lot :o) Oh, how I love these series, let me count the ways - oh wait, I can't, there's too many :D The snark, the gut-twisting, the funny, the faithfulness to Canon... I love the two actors. Well-written and -acted Holmes/Watson interaction is a big win for me anyway, but this was magnificent. Now I'm waiting for the next episode with baited breath :o)

And yeah, I've read some of her ST stuff too a while back. She has a knack for writing light conversation and adventure as well as good hurt/comfort, and I like that she doesn't write slash - I'm not averse to slash, but both ST and SH are highly-slashed fandoms, and from time to time I do enjoy a good pure friendship story. "Just friends" doesn't do any of these guys justice, anyway - they're Friends, capital F intended :o)
