Character: Sherlock Holmes

"My friend was an enthusiastic musician being himself not only a very capable performer, but a composer of no ordinary merit. All the afternoon he sat in the stalls wrapped in the most perfect happiness, gently waving his long thin fingers in time to the music, while his gently smiling face and his languid, dreamy eyes were as unlike those of Holmes the sleuth-hound, Holmes the relentless, keen-witted, ready-handed criminal agent, as it was possible to conceive. In his singular character the dual nature alternately asserted itself and his extreme exactness and astuteness represented, as I have often thought, the reaction against the poetic and contemplative mood which occasionally predominated in him. The swing of his nature took him from extreme languor to devouring energy; and, as I knew well, he was never so truly formidable as when, for days on end, he had been lounging in his arm-chair amid his improvisations and his black-letter editions. Then it was that the lust of the chase would suddenly come upon him, and that his brilliant reasoning power would rise to the level of intuition, until those who were unacquainted with his methods would look askance at him as on a man whose knowledge was not that of other mortals. When I saw him that afternoon so enwrapped in the music at St James´s Hall I felt that an evil time might be coming upon those whom he had set himself to hunt down."

- The Red-headed League, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Hi again! I'm happy to show you another work so soon after my last submission I attempt to keep the pace up at least a bit and submit more freequently now that I have semester break

This is a painting I started more than a year ago but for some reason it sat in my folder half-finished for very very long. This might be due to the fact that I kinda lost my initial ambition to finish it when it came to the details... Still I'm happy that I regained my interest in painting on this piece and had some fun after all I used a screencap from the episode The Reichenbach Fall as reference and aimed for a rather dramatic lighting and tried experimenting with brushes and colors a little more. I dunno if it worked out as I wanted it to, but I think it's a good start to define a new style and get a little out of my comfort zone and paint more freely. I'm rather fond of the background and I know Sherlock's suit isn't really blue but I liked it that way.
It would be nice to hear what you think I hope you like it!

As always comments and feedback is highly appreciated and thanks a lot for the view
