The Death of Me, 5 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
Really, what can John say to that? It’s about as close to proper appreciation as Sherlock gets, after all.

The Death of Me, 4 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
Mrs. Hudson’s not their housekeeper, but she couldn’t resist a bit of picking up after poor Sherlock. Look at the state he’s in, and only John to take care of him, well, the boys do need a hand once in a while.

The Death of Me, 3 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
Sherlock, of course, has abused John’s kindness to a rather extreme degree, littering his little corner of the flat with used teacups and tissues. And then not wanting to let John out of his sight for even five minutes! Poor John.

The Death of Me, 2 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
John’s a very kind man and a good doctor, so Sherlock’s got tea, Lemsip, and a slice of Battenberg cake among other things. I’m told a smooch on the noggin by a real proper doctor is the best treatment of all, but it’s one only deployed in extreme cases.

The Death of Me, 1 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
We’re doing something a bit different this week! A lovely patron commissioned me this summer to do a couple of 6-panel comics for her, and the first of them is done, so you’ll be getting a comic M-W and F-Sun, with a break on Thursday for this week’s letter. The whole thing will be available as a print in my Etsy shop at the end of the week, but until then, enjoy this bit of silly Sherlock humor, in which Sherlock gets a cold and John gets to deal with it.

The Wily Sherlocktopus in His Natural Habitat
cartoon by Amy Crook
There’s a fandom trope where Sherlock, who is both offputting and always up in John’s space in the show, is one of those sleepers who wraps around his bedmate like an octopus and never lets go. Poor John is clearly used to this, and they’ve kicked the covers off to compensate for being overwarm this lovely end-of-summer evening.
In case you’re curious, I used white gel pen on John’s pajama pants while the green Copic marker was still fresh, so the marker bled through a little making the pattern light green on dark rather than a stark white. Sherlock’s stripes are bright blue pen on lighter blue background. It’s the little things that amuse me.

H is for Heraldry

H is for Heraldry, calligraphic illumination by Amy Crook
I have to admit, when deciding on the colors and symbols for this letter with the help of Google, I also enlisted certain fannish friends. That’s how I ended up with Hedgehog Rampant and Otter Rampant as the creatures, making the H secret fan art on top of everything else.
The symbology of the elements of this particular shield are, at least according to Google and artistic intention (which I’m given to understand the latter is more important, anyway):
- Gold/Yellow (Or): generosity
- Blue (Azure): strength, loyalty
- Black (Sable): constancy, grief
- Chevron on the shield: protection, faithful service
- Otter: one who lives life to the fullest
- Hedgehog: provident provider
- Arrows: military readiness
- Holly: truth
H is for Heraldry, 5″x5″ mixed media on paper, nfs (sold). If you’d like an H of your own, you can find out how to commission one here.
H is for Heraldry, detail, by Amy Crook
Although the glitter looks a bit anemic in the scan, when it catches the light it’s really a lovely bright gold with a nice layer of golden yellow beneath it to add richness. Below, you can see how it looks framed and hanging out on my bookshelf with a little sneak preview of next week’s letter. (HI!)
