I really should have left a comment centuries ago! Apart from the obvious (the well-handled narrative tension and the ominous badassery of both heroes and villains) I'm struck by the quality of the artwork, how you make backgrounds blend behind the characters, stand out in harsh, stark light (the seventh panel is a great example) or disappear to underline the silhouettes of the characters. The way you play with lights, too, is fantastic - panel eight with Mycroft in the light and Moran in the foreground and the shadow is a very striking image. On to your newest page now

Wow thank you! You are the ideal reader, you see all my hard-thought out obsessive details. I draw Mycroft in light and Moran in darkness to make a point. While trying to keep the images as simple as possible. This is why it takes me ages to produce anything...but I just love the theory and interplay of images/words that makes up comics! And there's SO much to explore, so many possibilities: composition, the time lapse between panels.. Okay sorry for rambling, thank you so much for another much-valued comment!

Please don't die Rosie! I really enjoy how you develop characters; you've made me really care about Rosie's fate even though we haven't seen her that much in the comic. I'm really enjoying how the story is progressing.

Thank you, that's great to hear! I try to give them a background and a stance of their own, even though they are just glimpsed here and there.

You seriously better not leave this cliffy and go back to Watson and Lestrade, because I'm already holding out for Rosie... lets face it, anyone who can whip up a cuppa an have it at your elbow as quick as that lass is a gem! Don't die Rosie or Mycroft will starve. ;D
Thanks as always for a great story.

Thank you for the comment! Mycroft would indeed starve if it weren't for Rosie, he would not have the energy to move his great bulk to the kitchen and back to his chair, not to mention the hassle of getting out the door for groceries.

Amazing as always, Devilry! I'll be waiting for the next bit of TSG eagerly

Thank you v. much! I'll put the next page up in a couple of days.
And yes, top hats are very cool... but hellish to draw!

NEW PAGE! And again the ante is upped! Mycroft has to save everyone, Rosie's been shot, and WHAT'S GOING ON WITH WATSON AND LESTRADE?! So much tension! I can't wait for the next installment.

Glad you're caught in the tension! There will be less -and more- of that soon!

Is Rosie about to be inexplicably awesome? I really hope so. It would make so much sense for Mycroft to have a random Battle Maid. <3 (Well, it makes sense to me.)

Devilry In reply to Cryptix23 [2012-03-02 10:21:11 +0000 UTC]

You know, I think your sense-making makes a whole lot of sense. In this story sense usually steps down in favor of what I want to draw, and right now I wanna draw bloody maidens.

Awww, does that mean Rosie's not just faking it to get Moran's guard down so she can kick his evil keister into the street? You're dashing all my poor little hopes!

Aaaargh is she okay? This is much more exciting than Game of Shadows I absolutely love your way with dialogue.

I don't know, is she okay? Thank you so much for liking my dialogue, I have huge issues with the written word and think my dialogue is awful. So it's great to hear it's passable!
