Description An illustration for a sign for a winebar in town. A wonderful local design firm Phlo design ( who handled my daughter's birth anouncement) contracted me to draw a moriarty in a similar pose to the videogame cover. The challence here was to reference their inspiration without copying it. I'm very pleased with the outcome, especially the face and the lighting there.

A top hat - how can you blame me? Those Professor Layton games are disgustingly addictive!

Heh, your work is on epicwinftw.com because it was put right next to a Sherlock Holmes bar.

Oh wow What a great strong image. I love how his eye is echoed in his ring (intentional?). The shading on the coat is well done and dare I say reminiscent of Adam Hughes?

Awww thanks sweet lady. It is indeed inspired by the Mr Hughes...whenever I can I try and push my work in his directon...and even if it doesn't quite make that level it definately makes it better.

Yeah, I do that with Holbein. Totally different points on the spectrum but both geniuses at their art, hehe.

Exactly! Ahh Holbein*sighs* so good. Lately I've been digging Sargent's work...I'll have to aim for something along his style when I get a chance.
