belphegor1982I've been reading Sherlock Holmes fanfiction by Aragonite /![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
karstcrystal lately; she's an author who writes excellent Holmes and Watson, but mostly focuses on the Inspectors, Constables and everyone (Canon or original) who works at Scotland Yard. Since reading her fics (which are instructive, character AND plot-based and as funny as they can be a punch in the gut) is a guarantee of never looking at these characters the same way again, I once again found myself on the bus with time (one hour and fifteen minutes to work and back) on my hands as well as paper and a pencil. Oh, and now I can't think of other possible first names for Inspectors Lestrade and Bradstreet.
So, top left to bottom right: Roger Bradstreet, Geoffrey Lestrade, Stanley Hopkins and Tobias Gregson. Lestrade looks way too young and I was toying with a design for Hopkins that didn't work, but for a bus doodle it's not too shabby :o)
Another bus doodle. I did have Colin Jeavons in mind as a design, but it's been absolute years since I watched the Granada series and it shows. Plus, I can never make my drawings match the model :/
Yet another bus doodle. When Tobias Gregson is smiling like that, you know something bad is about/happening to somebody else.
Aaaand this one is a bus doodle that grew a bit. I have no idea what happened, but it's got Bradstreet stunned, Gregson in a grimly analytical mood, and Lestrade smiling. Not in a nice way at all.
I'm a bit disappointed, because that wasn't quite what I'd intended Lestrade to look like, and I'm not sure the bus' movements are entirely to blame.
Now, they're allunscathed alive and standing, at least. I'd love to see someone work up a story on that basis :D
