The Case of the Painted Horse

Here we see the famous London detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty cohort Dr Watson trying to solve a case. Watson is based heavily on Granada's David Burke, because he played the role so well. Quick with a smile, polite, good-humoured and intelligent. Sherlock got the eyes from Jeremy Brett. I'm not too happy with the hair, but I need to get on and finish this today

What this case is about I have no idea, but somebody probably died in the room where the painting hangs. Maybe the horse is painted with arsenic mixed in the paint, or maybe there's diamonds hidden behind the surface? Who knows.. I just realized Holmes looks like a magician conjuring up clues from the brush.
