Dr John Watson and Sherlock Holmes :D

I am reading the ACD Sherlock Holmes stories and wanted to design them as well.

Found this early illustration of Hastings (as played by Edward Fox, it seems) and Poirot. Why did they make Poirot look so sickly?

Every world-famous European detective needs their bisexual war veteran bestie/flatmate

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

[skipppppy]

Hercule Poirot deduces you are trans by accident because he suspected you of murder and broke into your house and searched your stuff then puts 2 and 2 together when Hastings makes an innocuous observation about your fashion sense or something and he jumps up and cries “mon dieu!!!” before striding over to you kissing you on both cheeks and saying “ah, cher ami, you must live as you choose!” and then running off to confront the real culprit while you stand there in befuddlement

It was really only a matter of time before I drew Monsieur Poirot and Captain ‘Astings… 

There’s been a grizzly murder, and as usual Holmes is the only one pleased about it.

(I got lots of lovely art supplies for Christmas, nom nom nom. It was like being 5 again…)

My biggest “he wouldn’t fucking say that” ATM is Sherlock Holmes adaptations where Sherlock is mean to Watson as a comedic point. Sherlock “My Dearest Watson” Holmes would not fucking do that

Comic and two unrelated doodles

[antipodeanholmesian]

Lee and Macnee deserved better adaptations

[sandwormb]

Joking with my dad in the car led me to the idea that every time Holmes has his trademark “sudden contemplative silences,” he’s actually just having a seizure from chronic lack of sleep and cocaine abuse

[chazchaschad]

still trying to work on how I draw lestrade…. None of his descriptions are particularly helpful…

They keep describing him as rodent and ferret like…. Why are they so mean to him… 💔💔💔

wacky ass descriptions

I may need some help from the Lestrade expert himself @sandwormb
