JEREMY BRETT & DAVID BURKE as SHERLOCK HOLMES & DR JOHN WATSON in THE SOLITARY CYCLIST (1984)

When I’m in a catty bitch-off competition and my opponents are Holmes & Watson

[moroniccats]

What are some of your favorite quotes of Watson just unabashedly adoring Holmes? (Doesn’t have to be in a shipping way) Here are a few of mine, although they BARELY scratch the surface:

“‘What do you think of it, Watson?’

‘A masterpiece. You have never risen to a greater height.’” - The Bruce-Partington Plans

“I have so deep a respect for the extraordinary qualities of Holmes that I have always deferred to his wishes, even when I least understood them.” - The Dying Detective

“Had I not feared to give the public a surfeit which might react upon the reputation of the man whom above all others I revere.” -The Problem of Thor Bridge

“His eyes shone, and his cheek was flushed with the exhilaration of the master workman who sees his work lie before him. A very different Holmes, this active, alert man, from the introspective and pallid dreamer of baker street. I felt, as I looked upon that supple figure, alive with nervous energy…” - The Priory School

“Lestrade and I sat silent for a moment, and then, with a spontaneous impulse, we both broke out clapping. A flush of colour sprang to Holmes’s pale cheeks, and he bowed to us like the master dramatist who receives the homage of his audience.” - The Six Napoleons

“The strong, masterful personality of Holmes dominated the tragic scene, and all were equally puppets in his hands.” - The Solitary Cyclist

I just think it’s really sweet.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, S1Ep4 "The Solitary Cyclist" (1984)

[alittlecrow]

Portrait study from the Solitary Cyclist.

I started this in July with the intention of finishing it before the Letters from Watson substack finished SOLI and that did Not happen.

I’ve been gradually chipping away at it ever since with it being about 20hrs just for the digital rendering. And it only took that long because I had to keep scrapping and restarting Holmes’ face and hand. All my love for Jeremy Brett, but his face is so specific that it was the greatest struggle to get his likeness any decent. And I still find it lacking. But what can you do.

I appreciate the learning experience this gave and it’s made me increase my efforts in digital painting in the weeks since I started it. And my complaints aside, I really did enjoy the process. Frustrating at times, but very rewarding. And I’m quite proud to have finished it instead of leaving it in my wips folder for eternity.

Anyways, bonus traditional sketch with too big Holmes Head and too small Watson Head and initial color comp.
