Master Detectives: Part 1 Master Detectives:

A Comparison of the Great Mouse Detective and Sherlock Holmes

by ALS123

*Author's Note: First off, I own NONE of the movies, books, etc. mentioned in this, and I tried to give credit to the original creators throughout. These are merely some observations I've made about the similarities between the movie The Great Mouse Detective and Sherlock Holmes. I'm sure there's more that I've missed, but this is just my own personal views of two of my most favorite things in the universe. Enjoy!

Been working on my GMD Christmas picture over the last few days to try to get in the Christmas mood...and finished early! :D

I got this idea one day to have Olivia help Basil decorate his flat for Christmas, and even though he can reach the top himself, I thought it'd be sweet for him to let her put the finishing touch :aww:

I actually drew Olivia and Basil first. Basil was easy, since I'm so used to drawing him...Olivia, not so much, but I've drawn her before, so this time around was easier. I didn't even look at a reference for her! :D I kinda think she might be just a tad too small, but oh well. I'm happy with it like it is :aww:

But wow, that tree was hard! :XD: I finally decided to just draw it from scratch, and this is the finished product. I figure mice would just use a small branch of a pine tree or something, but I was afraid it would look too scrawny, kinda like the sad little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. But after adding all the decorations to it, I'm very very pleased with how it turned out :aww:

And I had no clue what to do for the background. My original plan was to do a golden color, like from the glow of the fireplace, but every color combination I tried made Basil and Olivia blend in to the background too much because of the brown color of their fur. So after trying all kinds of other colors, I just settled on green. I think it makes them stand out more, and they are the focus of the picture after all :aww:

So, to all my friends on DA
Merry Christmas!!! :santa:

So freaking adorable! I just love the warmth and creativity in this. It's a cute moment between Basil and Olivia as well.

Oh, I hope you're still planning on participating in the contest for VR. I can't wait to see what you'd come up with.

Thank you very much! :love: Yeah, I'd love to enter it into the contest! But I've already entered this pic into the contest over at "Victorian Rodents"...will that be fair for me to enter it into two different contests? If not, that's totally fine, I just wanted to make sure :)
