"Lost" "Mycroft" Illustrations

I've always been kind of sad that my All Time Fav Mr Mycroft Holmes only appears in three Sydney Paget illustrations, and only clearly in two.

So, imagine my delight to discover that after Sherlock's waterfall-induced hiatus, another series illustrated by Paget appeared in the Strand called Martin Hewitt Investigates, starring a chap who looks similar enough to the elder Mr Holmes that my little fannish heart can accept them as being him.

For comparison, here is Mycroft:

Here is Martin:

There are plenty of illustrations where he's doing things that I can imagine Mycroft readily doing, like sitting around, standing around, and visiting a bakery.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🗣️ GRANADA HOLMES 🗣️

THE ADVENTURE OF CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON - part one of several, because this is one of my favorite Holmes stories! Ever since I read it I had a feeling there was something more...personal...going on with Holmes's hatred for Milverton than simply a principled stand against blackmail. A lot of this is directly pulled from the books but of course I took it in my own direction!

This is in the Watson's sketchbook series, and specifically references the Hound of the Baskervilles entry in that series :)

also thank you to my friend Phoenix for reading this when it was in sketch phase and reassuring me that it made sense!

Milverton design under the cut:

When Holmes and Watson go to a concert, this is what's happening in Watson's mind the whole time.

ELEMENTARY | 2.19 The Many Mouths of Aaron Colville

the most fucked up fictional universe is all those mouse movies where mice have a secret society underneath human society where they’re fighting mouse versions of the same wars and have the same religious oppression and each have a human version of themselves

Why does Mouse Victorian London have a military campaign in Mouse Afghanistan in The Great Mouse Detective?

What does Mouse England gain from the continued occupation of Mouse Afghanistan

Mouse Opium

Why would anybody use green, blue and some weird-ass-pink to paint a portrait, they said. Why the hell not, I said.

Because insane colours are cool.

My another attempt to capture the awesomeness of Jeremy Brett’s face.

Doodles for THE GLORIA SCOTT - aka that early stage in a relationship where you talk about your exes - this is part 1!

(Part of the Watson’s sketchbook series)

in my canon Watson is the one to cut Holmes's hair btw. if you care

GLORIA SCOTT part 2, the conclusion. I can’t believe Arthur Conan Doyle invented the homophobic dog meme 140 plus years ago

I know what you are 1888 version

Sherlock Holmes (1922) dir. Albert Parker

Roland Young as Cambridge student John Watson

Ronald Howard & Howard Marion-Crawford as Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson in Sherlock Holmes (1954).

THE VALLEY OF FEAR part one tbh there are so many iconic lines in this one (“you are scintillating this morning, Watson”) (“One more coruscation, my dear Watson - yet another brain-wave!”) it’s obnoxious

(This is part of the Watsons sketchbook series!)

It was late that night when Holmes returned from his solitary excursion. We slept in a double-bedded room, which was the best that the little country inn could do for us.

I already drew this scene from Valley of Fear, it was the very first Holmes comic I did, but it fits in well enough with the style and canon of Watson’s sketchbook to include it here :)

BOYS NIGHT OUT

part 4 of Holmes' collage adventures? (part 1 - part 2 - part 3)

and if you wanna check out I made a proper drawing of both of them :3

Left: “He deliberately knocked the whole thing over.” Reigate Squires, Sidney Paget, The Strand Jun/Jul 1893 Characters: Watson, Holmes

Right: “It hinged back like the lid of a box.” Second Stain, Sidney Paget, The Strand Dec 1904 Characters: Watson, Holmes

he was a man of habits, narrow and concentrated habits, and i had become one of them… i was a whetstone for his mind. i stimulated him.

Doodles for SHOSCOMB OLD PLACE, a wholesome adventure in which Watson and Holmes go fishing and hang out with a dog. Don’t worry about the charred human bones in the furnace.

(This is part of the Watson’s sketchbook series!)
