Description I did this as a test for my new Intuos 4 and Photoshop CS4. Took about a day (6 hours or so), reffed from Empire's Sept '09 cover.
I love my new stuff!
Background texture is from an old ImagineFX dvd.

Anyway let me know what you think.

This is AMAZING!!! Sherlock Holmes has to be one of my top favorites of fictional characters. This is probably the best fan art of the new movie I've seen yet. Keep up the great work!
P.S. Can you draw one of Dr. Watson/Jude Law?

tirionelf [2009-11-16 15:41:56 +0000 UTC]

looks great,love the light and shadows play and the colours as well... the only complaint I'd make is the upper middle of the forehead where the hair should meet the skin (and the shadows)looks a tiny bit off somehow...but that's really a minor complaint... :/
did you have a reference photo for this?
oh, and btw, I'd kill for an Intuous 4 (what size is yours, I think Wacom has switched to S, M, L and possibly XL?)

odingraphics In reply to tirionelf [2009-11-17 10:34:31 +0000 UTC]

Cheers, yeah I used a ref image. My Intuos is a Large (a little larger than A4 drawing area)

O_O
OH MY GOD...loooove it.
The hair is perfect. It looks real. Like I could grope him right now...but my computer screen stops that

I love how you can see through the glasses [just enough] and everything. I like suggesting things to make it better...but I can't. Darn you.
You're a very talented person. Please, please keep working in this field.

Have you seen the trailer? I wasn't sure myself but from the trailer this looks like its gonna be a very entertaining movie. Glad you like the piece though.

erosroseros In reply to odingraphics [2009-08-25 08:42:23 +0000 UTC]

No haven't seen the trailer ... will keep an open mind.

But I predicted they would cast Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft ... she "looks and could act the part".

I will have to keep an open mind ... he was the right actor for Chaplin ... but not the look for Sherlock.

Your piece is lively.
