sketchbook: the second stain + the reigate squires
hi, please enjoy more Sherlock Holmes doodles in this ongoing series, first from the short story THE SECOND STAIN, which involves a beautiful politician, his equally beautiful wife, a missing letter, and a mysteriously bloodstained carpet.
aaaand THE REIGATE SQUIRES, which is one of my favorite stories because it has a LOT of gay people in it. I originally illustrated the beginning of this story here.
A HILARIOUS and delightful read, thank you! Your portrayals of the characters feel so alive with a refreshingly modern relevance (then again, who knew that "vibrating with inward excitement" was a phrase being used in the 19th century as well as the 21st lol). When are we getting an animated remake of Sherlock directed by you, again?
I loved the vibrating Holmes. It was so well rendered I actually thought I was having blurry vision for a moment because it did seem to vibrate.
