Description "Whenever Im weary
From the battles that raged in my head
You made sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now & forever ..."
Richard Marx - Now & Forever [link]

Mr. Basil ... what are we going to do with you?


Before you ask, that 'little' ball of light up there was suppose to be a firefly ... but since I altered it's appearance to a point in which even I can't figure out what it is ... it's up to you.

Ok, now - I had a little free time during math today so I started doddling at the back of my notebook (yes, again) and there was one doddle that I liked. So much like it happened with all my other Disney-related pics I scanned it and toyed around in Photoshop for about two hours and this is pretty much the result (need to thank ~xXTracksTheWolfXx for giving me the idea :3 - sorry for forgetting about the robe XD ...)

Basil always struck me as the type who works himself to death, and when he's not going to take care of himself, then who to care for him then his dear landlady? I can soo see this scene happening :3 (first shot at drawing Mrs. Judson so once again, don't kill me if I did something wrong :s )

And now, without further ado ... enjoy!

Mrs. Judson is so unappreciated it hurts ... especially since she is a woman to be admired.
I mean, putting up with all of Basil's attics and eccentrics for who knows how many ears and still managing to stay sane is most definitely something.
My only regret is that I didn't draw her sooner

It's the passion that will put the detective in an early grave, the passion of endless working on cases. He puts eating and sleeping on the back burner far too many times for Mrs. Judson to accept. He's like a child in adult form when he doesn't do what he's supposed to do. Mrs. Judson is his guiding light to keeping healthy.

Oh, sorry, I rambled again. Beautiful work! Had to critique it.

Must agree
And no worries about rambles - I love to hear other people ramble
As for the critique - I love you for it! You always find the best of words to keep me motivated

p.s. the glowing thing was supposed to be a firefly - the characters are mice! - but doe to ... certain things it kind of transformed into a 'little' ball of light ... But at least there's light.

You're very welcome! I like doing them, especially when it requires staring at the image for long periods of time.

Oh, a firefly! OK. Well, we can pretend it's a 'guiding light' of spirit now that Mrs. Judson has entered the picture. Basil was sitting in the dark except for the light of the fireplace, fell asleep, and that light is like a symbol of Mrs. Judson's good energy coming towards him... I sound ridiculous, huh? The original idea made more sense, bugs getting in on accident, you never know in Basil's home.

Awww!! Excellent concept! Especially since she's riding his case in the short time we see her.

How super cute. I really, really adore your style, and this picture is just lovely.

Indeed, Basil seems like the type that would work himself to near death and not even think about self-care until someone else brought it up.

Good think we have Mrs. Judson and dear old Dr. Dawson there to remind him of that, right?
