i desperately needed to do some practice hands so i made up a little game of rolling dice for random time-stamps and just doodling any hands that were onscreen?
#bc i have been soooo frustrated drawing hands lately#sometimes u gotta go back to some reference images yk#also not tagging crime and cricket but obv this is all from a bad night lmao#might pick another ep and do another page sometime idk#incidentally does anyone know of that ring is just aval's own ring irl#bc he has i think the same one as meres?

ok i liked the idea of books you own vs books youve actually read, BUT most of my books are home in Ireland where i am not. so i can't check those. so here's Books I Can Actually Remember Reading, off the top of my head without looking anything up and more or less in the order i read them (and including titles regardless of my opinion on them, though mostly these are books i did like)

something gay and self-indulgent :)
(fully stole this pose from an 1883 painting btw, because it looked so much like them already - The New Bracelet, Henryk Siemiradzki)
#crime and cricket#raffles fanart#the composition and setting and vibe is otherwise all mine but i did like straight up trace that painting#it wasnt a fight w anatomy day it was a pretty lineart and vibey coloring day ✌#if i was patient i would wait and pretend this was a post for premiere pas tmrw but its not really#spiritually though. we know what was happening between gent and prem#it was this ^

But I alone was there to see him, the alley was absolutely deserted, and desperately dark. At the further end he opened a door with a latch-key, and it was darker yet within. Instinctively I drew back and heard him chuckle. -A Costume Piece
such a strong image and such a great line to cut off at for a cliffhanger hehe >:3c
#letters from bunny#crime and cricket#raffles fanart#aj raffles#bunny manders#at some point halfway through i started leaning into the film noir vibes of this and it was the right move i think#im not promising art for every single letter this time round btw#but i do want to fill in the gaps from last year#and maybe do new ones where i wasnt happy with a few or just hav another idea

what if i started posting full comic pages here as well instead of just previews with links. . . 🤔
#mainl y bc i just finished a page that i think uh slaps.#and it would kill as a standalone post#im usually thinking of these in terms of 2-page spreads for printing but this specific page just pops dkdfkfh#but also idk might b easier to share and interact with?#OBV still keeping the website as its real home but yk#im phrasing this like im undecided but im not im just thinkin out loud#im literally queueing posts rn tho sdkfkdf#edit lmao forgot i actaully promised updates last week for todayish#well!

"And there knelt A. J. Raffles, with his black hair tumbled, and the same watchful, quiet, determined half-smile with which I have seen him send down over after over in a county match!" -The Ides of March
Raffles Week Day 5: Cricket 🏏
#crime and cricket#rafflesweek2025#aj raffles#bunny manders#i wanted to do one more focused on bunny for today bc i figured wed get plenty on aj#but then the drawing was too good to crop him half out of frame like i planned dkfdhf#also. listen. i don t know how cricket scores work and i refuse to learn#so idk if those numbers make sense but dont even worry abt it#anyway a bit obsessed w how this one turnd out#forgot how much fun solid black shading is sometimes

I've been messing with this thing all month but its finally done, and a perfect fit for a Raffles Week prompt! So, for Day 3: Theatre ->
Raffles and Bunny dress-up game with 230+ items, background variants, and bases for Albany era or Earl's Ct/Richmond era!
(It only works on desktop browsers afaict, but if anyone more familiar with javascript knows how to make it more accessible im all ears!)
#rafflesweek2025#crime and cricket#i rly did not intend to make this as detailed/complex as it turned out but i was having fun :)#and i kept thinking of cute little easter eggs to throw in

made a bunny in blender? i thought it might b handy to reference for wierd angles but mainly it was just fun to mess around w 3D kdsfkh
#crime and cricket#bunny manders#idk what im doing and my tutorial was very much NOT for a human figure it was for like. a cartoon animal wizard lmao#so consequently the renders are a bit glitchy in some spots#and im pretty sure this is not remotely riggable for animation#but i think he turned out cute!#havent decided yet if ill do raffles#its a lotta work sdkfhdf#also to be so completely fair this is not the first ever thing ive made in blender#but it has been years and the others were all very simple

decided im too impatient to sit on it til march so 🫴 H. Manders author portrait frontispiece for in-universe Thief in The Night publication
#crime and cricket#bunny manders#raffles fanart#now do i think bunny would ever actually include an author portrait in his pseudonymous writing? certainly not sdkfkd#but i do think he Deserves a nice portrait after All That#also??? genuninely unintentional but somehow#in just trying to age my bunny a little for 1906#(in line w his description in the end mr justice raffles- so pince nez glasses gained some weight etc)#he did end up i think looking a little like hornung just sans moustache?? wild#lfb

But Mr. Raffles only shook his head, and for one instant his face was as sad as it was gallant and gay all the rest of the time. Then he went as he had come, in his own dreadful way, and not a soul in the house knew that he had been. And even you were never told! -The Last Word
#crime and cricket#raffles fanart#letters from bunny#aj raffles#last letter of the series :((#gosh last word makes me so crazy tho#'you were what you were because you loved raffles' HUH#Is That Allowed#i wanted to get some way of doing a nice farewell bunny portrait too#bc i feel like i have done so many of these moody aj lurking in a window ones lsdfkdfh#but i didnt get time :(#also. if u recognise the rosetti i sort of loosely copied this pose/comp from... hehehehe#doesnt it look so much like him already lowkey? i think so anyway dkfkdfh#lfb

I had drawn my knees up to my chin, on the bench where one used to dry one's self after bathing, and there I sat in a seeming stolidity at utter variance with my inward temper. I heard Raffles creep forth again and I let him go without a word. -The Spoils of Sacrilege
#crime and cricket#letters from bunny#bunny manders#i actually care him so much did u know#bunny.. baby boy :(#dkfdk this is so cliche moody as a drawing but listn.#the climb down from the tower would probably make better illustration fodder#but this but struck me today idk#edit lmao i fixed the title... ???#lfb
