elaby | Holmes art

For the

watsons_woes challenge last week, I drew some art :3 It was one of those "I shall draw this and finish it all in one go!" sort of things, and it actually came out better than I had anticipated. I inked it with a Micron pen, but for some reason my scanner made the lines really pixelated and I'm not sure why *frowny face*

Anyway! The challenge was to incorporate "I am lost without my Boswell," and I meant to write a little drabble to go with it to explain what the heck was going on, but I couldn't get it to behave so I tried to make the story apparent in the picture. I won third place! *dance* ~~In the interest of full disclosure, there were only three art entries. I'm still happy.~~

The pixelation vexes me. I also colored the blood with a Muji pen (courtesy of

dakegra! Love those pens like whoa!) but it scanned really blotchy and I touched it up in Photoshop. Have I mentioned I love Holmes in profile?

Today there was antique-shop perusing and Susty's for lunch and there will be strawberry rhubarb crumble tonight. It can't get much better :3 I bought a couple of Victorian photographs and an old Sherlock Holmes card game (XD), and I'll take pictures/scans to show you all sometime soon.
