Description "Don't annoy the anger management class dropout."



Colonel Sebastian Moran (my version, as I would have liked to see him in Meitantei Holmes) is in the area when he eavesdrops on Dr. Watson badmouthing his reputation by reading the case of "the Empty House" out loud to some friends in the Diogenes Club. Poor Watson didn't know that Sebastian broke out of prison a month ago X^D but he is WELL aware that the guy is a very able-bodied tiger-killer/assassin. Unfortunately trying to dodge between the newspaper doesn't exactly deter the eagle eye of Professor Moriarty's best friend and Chief of Staff.

Don't you just get goosebumps at the way he nonchalantly drops ashes from his cigarette into Watson's lap, but his eyes look like they're getting that "about to snap" look?

My typical fan line art, drawn to vaguely resemble a Tokyopop manga or something....

How did you get a general idea of how Moran looked like? What gave you the inspiration?

I think that's the classic 'if looks could kill' look right there. Damn, but he's hot.

LOL! He emanates a real Commander Packbell vibe, m'dear: and that with very Snively-esque eyes..... You were doomed to think he's hot!



Thanks!

You know, I really enjoy your furry works. It's nice to see something rooted not only in anime but in literature as well. The 'Holmes' style furries are very classy and are sort of a refreshing change from the styles most artists (myself included) stick to. for the beautiful expressions and all that lovely crosshatching! Really nice piece.

WOW thanks! I must admit that I would not be half as interested in these anthros/furries if they were not in fact rooted in literature, as you noted. My first love in this whole genre is the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes mysteries, and this is an easy-to-draw, more lighthearted incarnation of the beloved characters. But it IS a catchy genre, nonetheless

Moran is hot. *hugs and gets her hand cut off* Oops, I guess that wasn't a smart thing to do @_@

Watson looks so scared *pats him on the head* Don't be scared, he won't hurt you. . . *under breath* much.

Moran:..."Oops, sorry, babe..." *gives her hand back and hugs her*



Watson: "Um, define 'much.' "


Thanks!!

Ooh, nice! ^o^ I think this is your best piece yet. I love the look in that one guy's eyes.

AmberPalette In reply to VelvetMaiden [2004-07-31 04:12:41 +0000 UTC]

That one guy is Colonel Moran--basically he functions as Watson's evil twin the way that Moriarty functions as Holmes's evil twin. (you saw that show, right? Or am I telling someone who never saw it and basically babbling? )

Awww that's just poopie! You can get them cheap if you look for the gently used DVD's on Amazon.com (that's what I did, and I got one for $3, and only a couple bucks added for shipping!!) I recommend the first Casefile if you only want to get one or two. ^_^
