Some More Drawrings.. They're Done In Pencil On Art Board, Since Sometimes People Ask. The Sepia Tone

Facts about Sherlock Hound

Originally The Hound of Baskervilles was intended to be an episode in the series and be the first in production. The episode was dropped after issues popped up for the writers. Both Hayao Miyazaki and Marco Pagot gave up and abandoned the idea, deciding to write an original story to replace it.

A Small Client was the original story they wrote to replace The Hound of Baskervilles, this ended up being first in production.

Before the episode was dropped, the crew had multiple discussions on how to depict the Hound of Baskervilles. A final conclusion was made and there were plans to use the idea, the idea was that the Hound would be a robot dog.

As quoted by Marco Pagot, “It’s very difficult to pick a single best of the six episodes. Each was an important step in our collaboration. “Little Martha”s Big Case!!” is probably the closest thing to the spirit of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s work.”

The reason for the show’s creation was because “The purpose was to make Sherlock Holmes more accessible to young people.” As stated by Marco Pagot

Based on the image boards, interviews, and the art book, the crew had originally intended for the series to be more grim and darker than what the final product ended being. This was due to the crew realizing that they might’ve needed to tone it down a bit so as not to be too graphic.

During the production, Marco Pagot had noticed an issue with Holmes himself, “The Holmes character was initially graphic with a square feel. But by softening it, I was able to increase the appeal.” Because of this decision, Sherlock in the series is a much more gentle figure though still with some his original traits.

Originally Hound would’ve had some of his traits when it came to smoking and other substances, such as coc&1ne being injected into his arm as seen in an image board. The idea of Holmes and his substances were dropped in favor to him purely smoking just tobacco. “For example, since it was a story aimed at young people, it was necessary to keep the main character’s trademark pipe, but to make the scene where he smoked it less conspicuous than necessary.” As stated by Marco Pagot.

Hayao Miyazaki had drawn and intended for Hound to have a tail. He also planned for Hound to be a Basset Hound. He ended up being changed into a corgi like fox due to unexpected…. Issues.

In the art book, it describes the ages of characters, though we have no confirmed age, Hound and Hudson are close in age. It is confirmed for Hound to be in his 20’s. This can be found in clues given. Watson is middle aged as confirmed in the book. Hound is described in the book as being “the youth class” which with extra context in the text implies about his age status more. It is very heavily stated multiple times that he is in fact way younger than other depictions at the time to the point of even saying that Holmes would have probably done most of these things if he had been much younger.

If any of you want another post about hound facts let me know. There is still a lot more to cover, especially with other characters and unused concepts. See you later 👋

no piece of teen media has ever accurately depicted the quiet psychological warfare of bullying. bullies on TV are always dumb brutes and not the evil geniuses of emotional manipulation that they are in real life. being given a wedgie and having your lunch money stolen is nothing in comparison to a classmate quietly creating a taboo against speaking to you that they intend to enforce against all the other kids. it’s nothing like continuous cutting comments from people you thought were being nice to you. that way that the work of one kid can make you feel like every person on earth silently hates you and that you are dirty, disgusting, worthless, creepy and useless. that you can have friends but many of them will not speak to you at school for fear of the social consequences on their end. how that damage lasts in any social setting for the rest of your life

fell asleep working

I was at a bookstore looking through the art section and I saw a spine that said The Camden Town Nudes which was interesting because this didn’t seem like the bookstore where I would ever find something like that and I wanted to have a casual look but like. This also wasn’t exactly the bookstore where you felt like you could look at naked pictures let alone just suggestive paintings of them, it’s a really small shop as well, so I was like right I’ll just take a quick peek, I’m an art student, I love history, maybe I’ll buy it. I looked both ways and saw the shopkeep had left momentarily and no one was about, so I opened it and found it was an entire book featuring nude Edwardian women all painted by Walter Sickert between 1905-1912 and it was actually quite a revolutionary set of paintings for its time given that it featured very raw depictions of working class nude women in dark London instead of the elegant, white bedsheet clad, Demure middle and upper class women usually depicted.

And of course RIGHT as I flip to this lady’s boobs practically taking up an entire double page spread, every customer in a 5 mile radius appeared from around the corners of the shelf including the shopkeep and immediately regressing to a wet, pathetic Edwardian man from 1908, startled, I dropped the large book which caused a giant SLAP on the floor in this already silent store thus causing all patrons to look down at me scrambling on my knees to close a giant book of Edwardian boobs and let me tell you it would not have been nearly as funny had I not immediately felt like some Edwardian local pervert who just tried to sneak a cheeky peek at the erotic book in the bookstore only to drop it dramatically causing a scene, red up to his ears trying to shove it back on the shelf. Like such a casual and normal thing in modern day but looking at Edwardian women suddenly turned it into this egregious act as I apparently became possessed by the spirit of a moustached man in a bowler hat and morning coat going Good Heavens I mustn’t gaze upon these images in public lest the constable haul me away!

i simply can't get over his cape flip
