Today, for no reason at all, I thought it would be fun to share some of the sketches from the making of Ludinus Da’Leth!

I really enjoyed working on concepts for the withered arm, especially. I’m very into catholic iconography, especially depictions of the saints in art, and I used a lot of that influence to make his arm a symbol of what Ludinus was willing to sacrifice on behalf of his goals. I think he thinks of that sacrifice as something to be venerated. Hence the gilding and what-not.

Oh I forgot the staves!

I was so proud of the design for Ludinus’ staff. The gothic tracery was designed to validate and uphold the hagiographic imagery of the arm. I honestly think the staff is one of my best object designs ever, for CR.

joan watson can’t cook

one of my favorite things about Elementary is that it’s a complicated show-not just plotwise but i mean specifically the fact that they’re usually telling 2 to 3 stories at the same time.

that’s why (for example) i know it’s canon that 1. joan watson cannot cook and 2. sherlock holmes can cook (he’s  rather good at it), but if he’s also eating it, be very dubious because there’s something weird in it.

any holmes adaptation is gonna be extrapolation- and dialogue-heavy by nature, so you’ll have them talking about/explaining the case then going into their emotional reactions/friends’ reaction to the case as main and secondary narratives. BUT! then as a tertiary narrative you have what they’re doing visually. the reason that last one is my favorite is because that’s where “holmes & watson’s relationship” happens.

in this scene, they’re having a really intense discussion about the case and what other people think about the case and yada yada, but what they’re DOING is apparently joan decides for some ungodly reason she’s gonna make their meal today and this is what happens

this. is. hilarious.

it also says so much about both of their characters-and just to reiterate, there is no verbal acknowledgement that any of this is happening-they talk only about the case, and things going on elsewhere. period.

but like, why would joan give a fuck about cooking? she went to med school, she was a surgeon, she was a sober companion, then a detective. she can cut up a vegetable and shove it in the mouth hole, order takeout, and that’s it.

sherlock, having been confronted with some kind of inexplicable bread lettuce thing, does what he always does when a food is not acceptable (something that happens constantly, much to my delight), which is look in the fridge like he’s accusing it of a crime and then gives up and eats nothing.

i don’t know if i need to explain why i am unshakably loyal to a show that’s about two roommates in their forties who do this amazing work no one else can do, and also essentially can’t fucking feed themselves. but this is what happens when you have two ridiculously talented actors playing leads who have to find something to do while they’re spouting off novels’ worth of memorized dialogue during ten-hour days, filming 10 months out of the year, holy shit.
