Description I'm trying to stop my artistic constipation by being more regular with finishing my artwork. HA! Regular, get it?!

If you could see my office and see how many sketches and art I've got half-finished on my computer it would shock you. It's not that I've stopped producing work that's finished, it's just not stuff that I feel like posting that's good enough for public viewing. So, this one was a treat to finish and get up here for critique.

I've had an idea for a long time to come up with a comic that's about a younger, female Sherlock-Holmes type of character and stories. Perhaps a female descendant of Sherlock? Who knows?! The idea was just stuck in my head and I had to get it out somehow. I'm pleased with the outcome and I'm sure I'm being influenced by something, but I'll be danged if I can figure it out right now. Also, I don't condone smoking and I actually hate it. However, I think a pipe looks cool and it's so Sherlock Holmes that I had to add it in. Somehow on her it looks sexy and fun. My grandfather smoked a pipe and it's the only kind of smoke I can stand the smell of. Sweet, like I think she would be, but smart, strong, and highly addictive, also like pipe smoke!

HA!

Nice. You've got a great sense of style with this one. I can see the influence as well, but I too cannot but a figure on it.

I really like the subtle noir feel of this.

Thanks Rome! Nice of you to drop by and leave comments.

I swear, you, Jennifer, and a couple other people are the only ones that actually still look at my work. I'm absolutely convinced! HA! It's kinda' like, "Out of sight, out of mind" around here. You don't post for ages and then people delete you from their watch. Who knows?! It's still fun to post when I've got something worthwhile. I wish there were more things I COULD post without breaking my non-disclosure feeling with my job. Oh well. I've got a few others that are coming up that are personal and I'm also delving into the animation world a bit. Nothing but personal experimentation but I'm diggin what I'm trying so far.

Oh, and WHY am I not on your friends list?!! Hhhhmmm?

HA! J/k

You are not on my friends list because you don't post enough :-p
No, I've limited the amount of people on that list because I don't like how DA displays it...I'm not sure how they do that, but I'd like to see them do a featured friends or something.

I understand the non-disclosure...so start posting some personal stuff dagnabit! I've posted work here that I'm non-too pleased with and removed them later. That's the joy of this place I guess.

True enough. I've never even figured out how to do the "FRIENDS" section at all. Then again I don't have a subscription so that might make a difference.
