Sherlock Holmes // Jeremy Brett
Study - based on the scene from the series.
"Sherlock Holmes was a series of adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories which were produced by Granada Television and originally broadcast by ITV in the United Kingdom in 1984–1994. The series starred Jeremy Brett as Holmes and David Burke (in the Adventures series) and later Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson." - wiki
See - not Hellraiser! Just because that comment other day in tumblr. :) 1980s fandoms are still alive, even when hidden from fancy popularity algorithms. I do at times feel a bit isolated here, not sure where to look and am always glad to hear about other fans of things that make me smile.

Is this traditional or digital? It looks kinda acrylic-like... Am wondering where the light source is here since part of Holmes' face is apparently lit up from the lower left by something that is not illuminating anything else. But that's a minor quibble...overall it's great.
I hear you on feeling slightly isolated here. NG has plenty of community spirit but let's face it: neither of us work in any of the styles that are most popular on this site. Am always surprised when I meet someone else here who does art _without_ a stylus & pad, or a mouse.

The extra acrylic effect is probably because of Glaze program, which in 2023 has become mandatory for artists to use if they oppose automated AI scraping and theft.
I used to do traditional painting too, but less these days, proximity war etc etc - has done some cost-effect-math.
As for the light source - since it is a study based on scene from the film, I presume it is just a random artificial light they tossed in his face. 1980s, they probably filmed a lot in some studio. However it is still the best Sherlock Holmes TV series ever filmed.
The text is copied from the place I originally post my works - the 'isolation' refers to web and socials in general that I not only do unpopular styles (i.e. I do not do anime nor calarts ) , I also like obnoxious things no one else likes. Pinhead being 1st popular/iconic thing I do like, but that i also mess up by mainly drawing his human self as I am intrigued by his origin story - like being born into Victorian England, fighting in world war and being nice pacifist kind of person prior turning what-ever he ended up being in films.
I am not sure if I commented here somewhere, but after being commented as such - for being too focused on Pinhead's past, I ended up adding pins to drawings I post online as its what is expected of "Hellraiser" art otherwise. Same reason while drawing for WW1 era opening for my fan comic, I have not posted a single panel WIPs as "cenobites" appear form 2nd half of the story and people simply have expectations.
Sometimes it would be nice to talk about silly fandom things, but if you fan things from 1980s and ice-ages or do not do anime or calarts, you already are at disadvantage as social media focuses only whats currently popular. Best i can do is be-me and hope someone is not scared of me and talks to me after finding my dubious scribbles:D
Wow! Amazing piece fren!
Man, you never see stuff like this on NG. I love it! I think the thing I like most is the subtlety in his expression--like a mild contempt mixed with amusement.
Tenebrare responds:
I am sure you are being too kind. :)
