March reccers wanted

We're still accepting reccers for March and for any later month. You can sign up here and General Information is here. Experienced and new reccers or members are all welcome. You only need to make four recs a month, for works created for any version of Sherlock Holmes, as fic, art, vids, podfic, or meta.

Give it a try, if you haven't before! It's fun, and it helps point readers to unexpected finds.

Art Rec: Roxburgh "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (2002)

Title: Untitled Roxburgh "The Hound of the Baskerville" sketches
Author: [deviantart.com profile] wandarer3
Pairing: Gen, Sherlock Holmes & John Watson
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Verse: The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002), Richard Roxburgh and Ian Hart
Artist's summary: sketch from film "The Hound of the Baskervilles" 2002

Reccer's comments: Lovely, evocative sketches of scenes from the 2002 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles. I'm particularly taken with this joint portrait (sketch 29) and its subtle tension between the two men: Holmes' assured confidence front-and-center, while Watson, measured in his discontent, is partially clipped by the frame. There are also two nice individual portraits: Richard Roxburgh's Holmes with his cat-has-the-canary smile, and Hart's windblown Watson on the Tor (sketch 28).

The Roxburgh sketches are collected within the artist's multi-adaptation Sherlock Holmes gallery (which includes BBC, ACD, Granada, and a very nice but easy-to-miss Study in Emerald). I particularly recommend the Roxburgh sketches, of course, but there are other things to enjoy in the collection, as well.
