THE FINAL PROBLEM - part 1 of ??many. If the context is confusing, please check the date and remember that we last saw Holmes in early 1891 - or better yet, read the original story!

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

cursive text (which is all canon, btw) under the cut for those who need it:

4 May, 1893

It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these, the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavored to give some account of my strange experiences in his company. It was my intention to have said nothing of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill. My hand has been forced, however.

It lies with me to tell for the first time what really took place between Professor Moriarty and Mr. Sherlock Holmes...

Sherlock and Watson, dancing request. Sherlock needs to study this new dance( for reasons of solving the murder in the ballroom, of course) so the doctor is helping ♥

Breathe.

Progress under the cut

been too long since ive drawn tweak x dashi art so here u guys go ..

bonus panel!

honestly it was a red flag when bbc sherlock went “well obviously the word written in blood isn’t the german word for revenge, it’s clearly the beginning of the name ‘rachel’, what absolute idiot would fail to see that” when in the original novel it is, in fact, the german word for revenge, which sherlock points out gleefully to a roomful of policemen who all figure it’s the beginning of the name ‘rachel.’

and by red flag I mean it was a clear sign that the adaptation was trying to one-up the source material, instead of engaging with it with love.

Commission for @ghostbees, retired but still cute Holmes and Watson

Some more drawrings.. They're done in pencil on art board, since sometimes people ask. The sepia tone and graphic flowers are digital.

Art fight attack on @snippit-crickit ! Titled this "orbital sunrise", after the phenomenon depicted loosely in the background. I love this character and was very excited to see you on AF this year so I had an excuse to draw him!
