Description
Recently finished a book of short stories that mergethe HP Lovecraft and AC Doyle universes, which is
about as awesome as sci-fi literature can get!
Famous detective Sherlock Holmes takes on
the dark machinations of the Great Old Ones...
The final tale contains the immortal line:
"Professor Moriarty has the Necronomicon!"
Truly classic stuff! So inspired by this, I decided
to create a little sketch just for the fun of it!
Done with ink, and digi-coloured...

I wonder whether the Old Ones got in through our efforts?

I'm reading that at the moment. It's epic! The only story I don't like is the Wavy Black Dagger one. Tiger! Tiger! is my fave at the mo though.
I was wondering whether anyone had done any fanart for it, I'm so glad you have at least.

Is this a real book? Where can I get my hands on it.
I have a feeling that the conclusion will be a lot bloodier than Reichanbach falls.

Indeed, good sir!
It's available on Amazon. I can heartily recommend it, as my good mate
Derek Dow was the one who initially turned me onto this book. If you
like Lovecraft and Doyle, this is a sophisticated tribute to both...!

It's well worth a read, I was wondering if the 'Shadows' book would
do Holmes and Watson justice, but the writers have grat respect for
the source material, and it shows. I would recommend it!

Haha, this is fantastic!
The style you used in this picture is really fun - a great mix between cartoony and realistic, as well as funny and creepy. Great composition too! I love the coloured lineart on the buildings in the background.
Awesome stuff!

Ha ha Wonderful. I happen to be working on something similar myself. A drawing where Holmes meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

ha ha ha. Fantastic merger of two gold mines of awesome. I can't believe I never thought of it myself. Let's hope the elder gods are weak to the reverberations of violin music (I mean... with them having incomprehensible angles and all anything's possible)

Thanks!
And let's hope there is nothing unpleasant hiding
in that Persian slipper on the mantlepiece!

By Yog-Sothoth, Watson!
I wonder if the world would be any worse of a place if Holmes got the Necronomicon?
I can just imagine it. "As Holmes began to read that acursed book, the world began to sway in a way that made the most vicious Ocean storm look calm. Before we knew it, there came a crash and the air in front of Holmes ripped open. A creature that could only be described as a mixture of an Ardvark, a Dragon and a Bi-cycle began to slime it's way through to our Plane."
