My adaptation of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Shylock Holmes and Dr Johanna Watson tracking down the Sewer King.

In this universe, the Victorian setting is adapted and transported into a gender-reversed dystopian world of broken tech and struggling industry. The poor are very poor, the rich are very rich, and the world is very, very strange.

Fashion notes: Both ladies are wearing adapted versions of Victorian era clothing. Some details are faithful, some adapted. Holmes' boots are well and truly an artistic flourish.

Holmes aesthetics: Feline, bohemian. Tall and slender, and when on a case (at her best) slick, elegant and well dressed (if still a bit unconventional). She shys away from tight french styles and embraces masculine clothing. Her facial features are cat-like but drawn from original Holmes descriptions and illustrations. I thought it a perfect match up.

Watson aesthetics: Proper, strong and elegant - if not a tiny bit old fashioned. She favours prim french aesthetics special tailored for improved movement. She is neat to a fault - like a proper soldier. Except for her hair. Favouring a loose-draping up-do because I was inspired by three of my favourite animated women when coming up with her design: Angel from Rock N Rule, Holli from Cool World and Priss from Bubblegum Crisis. I also wear this hairstyle myself and think it very feminine while still practical. Watson is a mouse - I've always loved mice. They're clever and adaptable and pretty darn capable for being small.

Well, I hope this provides a little insight into the logic behind Catgirl Holmes :P. It's not nearly as stupid as it looks!

Thank you :D. The mood was my main objective. It's something I need to work on more (and it's fun).

No problem! I have a grand list of categories I need to improve on in my art (all of them, and this will always be the case), but the times when art is fun are the best times to improve I find.

Your Holmes and Watson are extremely intriguing. I can't wait to see more of them!

Have you found my gallery containing the comic? Those few pages there should tide you over while I work on the next lot :D.

that is incredibly detailed - lighting and shadows are all in perspective and realistic - love the clothing - it hangs well and looks extremely realistic. thre seems to be one missing bit between the two - inside the loop of holmes tail - just flat grey
