Artist's Comments

Warren Ellis has started a weekly exercise on his forum in which he asks artists to remake/remodel characters he offers up. This week's character was SHERLOCK HOLMES. I went the steampunk route and imagined an older Holmes who's body was ravaged by years of heroin use. British authorities, in a last ditch effort to save his brilliant mind, sever his head and connect it to a mechanical body to keep Holmes alive and around to help them solve the most perplexing crimes in Victorian England.

I kind of went a bit bizarre with the mechanical body.. but that was the fun of the exercise.

I thiiink Holmes would be pretty annoyed by that ...
no more drug abuse (unless that mechanical body
is able to ... process ... drugs).

If he became a bit more ... settled it yould maybe amuse him to a degree.

But he would certainly prefer a more human shaped body
i think *g*

This reminds me a lot of China Mieville's Bas-Lag books. In this world, instead of jail, criminals get Remade, which usually means they get spliced with machines. Kinda dark, but that's what your picture reminds me of. The books are amazing, though.

Heroin? Cocaine, surely? Sometimes morphine.

*faves, anyway*
