I <3 Holmes actors

[elaby]

Inspired by this awesome picture on DeviantArt, I've done silly little drawings of some of the Holmes and Watson actors in specific scenes I thought were illustrative of their relationship (and interpretation of the characters).

Last night I drew something other than Holmes stuff for once! After I finished the Holmes stuff. I drew Mirai. I'll post the pencils once I've cleaned it up :3

Anyway, on to Holmes chibis being cute.




I really have great affection for all of the actors. We're mostly focusing on Watson here (big surprise!) and I really think the biggest difference between Burke's Watson and Hardwicke's Watson was that Burke Watson spent a lot of the time more worried, more flustered, more desperate for Holmes's approval... where Hardwicke Watson just kind of knew how to deal with Holmes's various moods and nothing phased him too much. It really was a very good way to portray the development of their relationship.

And Vitaly Solomin's Watson is, of course, the most adorable thing ever.

*squee* So, totally, completely, wholly, made of win.

I love the Hardwicke one especially - that's one of my favorite Granada scenes.

Seriously, after a very stressful day you absolutely made my night with this.

Aw, yay! I'm really glad! That's what I always hope my art can do :)

I love that Six Napoleons episode so darn much.

*bouncebounce* I have to tell you, you've affected me.

Usually my internet is too spotty to watch a video that's longer than like five minutes, but it was really good tonight so I got on Google videos and found the Russian Holmes series, and watched the Master Blackmailer with the English subtitles.

:D I think I'm in love.

OMG, isn't it great? I love it so much! The Final Problem/Empty House episodes are BRILLIANT. I'm so glad you were able to get it to work!

That episode was so good, too! With the hand-grabbing and Watson yelling at Holmes for leading Agatha on and everything XD

Oh, I know! 8D

And the bit with the parrot, and then the footprints - it was so funny. And not in a stupid, foot-in-the-bucket-of-water Nigel Bruce kind of way.

I think if I watch any more of these I'll have to break down and buy the set. ^^ I must thank you.

Yes, it's so true! I'm too much of a Watson dork to like watching him act stupid. He's SO CUTE in the Russian ones!

I'm really glad to have put you on to them :)

I finally found these waaaay back on my f'list, and *collapses with laughter at the first two*. OMG. Brilliant.

Mirai!

BWEE! Thank youuuuuu ^_^ I was going to link you if you missed it XD *attention whores* Both of those are totally scenes from the show! As is the last one, only it's from the Russian movies.

Aww *happy you like Mirai*

Oh these are cute! And they do capture the spirit of the series very well, I think :)

Cheers,
