THAT'S RIGHT, MORE SHERLOCK HOLMES BITCHES

I think this is the first time one of my nerdy loves has suddenly become popular, and I have to admit, I'm excited about Holmes having a gonzo internet fandom. I've already read a zillion official pastiches & essays, and frankly, some (many) of them are just LJ fanfic that found a publisher, so I don't understand some of the snooty old fan hate going on. CAN'T WE ALL JUST HUG IT OUT AND MAKE MACROS TOGETHER???

It always kind of nagged at me that most of L's screaming legions of fangirls didn't realize that his hot quirky little habits were lifted bodily from Holmes. Still, I was on board with Death Note up until the fall of L and rise of Near. At least the sloppy retcon that was Holmes' return could be blamed on ACD NOT EVEN WANTING TO WRITE THESE STUPID STORIES YOU GUIZ.

I question the length of his right arm in this drawing. Also, get your fucking feet off the furniture man!

I actually found a preliminary sketch to the SH is Wearing No Pants drawing. Meaning I felt this concept was important enough to merit a practice run to work out all the issues likely to arise when drawing S.H. sans pants.

I love when Watson drags Holmes to the country to not do coke and run around getting in fights 24/7, but Holmes is like OOH I SMELL MYSTERIES. Poor Watson. You fought the good fight, buddy.

The '09 movie made me like Watson much more. I much prefer him sassy to starry-eyed with scattered nagging. Also, let's be honest, he is kinda dingy in the books. I feel pretty confident saying I'm the only nerd who discovered House while browsing the related works section of the Holmes Wikipedia page. I immediately emailed one of my friends asking if she'd seen this show, to which she replied with Hugh Laurie on the cover of Esquire and posed the excellent question, 'where the fuck have you been, they just finished season 3." Speaking of Watson, and things that have been niggling at me for years, I always wondered if some of Wilson's mannerisms were based on David Burke's Watson. Or maybe it's just that there's only so many ways to look constantly exasperated with your BFF.

2006 Fanart, or: Behind the Times as Usual

I really like fanart, even though I don't do a ton of it myself. The problem I have is that I'm always either 3 or 4 years behind the general public, oooooor drawing things from any random number of years past.

You know when the boys are out busting, Janine and Slimer totally get it on.

Am I the only person on earth who's read or watched Cybersix? I realize it was only on for like 2 weeks, but come on, it was rad. Cross-deressing main character lady, 6 year old evil Nazi bad guy, long-lost brother trapped in the body of a panther. You know, entertainment. Plus, the animation was amazing. Somehow an Argentinian comic got greenlighted for movie-quality animation. I feel like that would never happen now a days and it's a huge fucking shame. I was always a fan of Cleo from the Heathcliff show. Living in a sweet Caddy, wearing those hot legwarmers, dating an obvious pimp, what a life!

I think Death Note had the fastest crash landing of anything I've ever read. It went from impressively original and interesting to complete idiot 16 yr old girl fanservice disaster in one page. Oh well.
