I binge listened last two books of James Lovegrove’s The Cthulhu Casebooks trilogy. Without going in to spoilers and too deep I mostly enjoyed the books. Not as good as first one. First one was what I expected from these books. Sherlock Holmes against Lovecraftian adversatives. Last two books build on top of first one and now Sherlock and Watson can fight against Lovecraftian forces. Humans are no longer insects among ancient forces. Books are enjoyable but I rather had each book having own story without Sherlock becoming expert in eldritch horror. Not going to spoilers but I didn’t like the trilogy wide story arc. Individual books’ arcs worked better. Last book is mostly ending the trilogy wide story arc. I liked it least.
I tried to use this Sherlock reference in last drawing but couldn’t make it work that time. I gave it another shot and added Lovecraft to background. Again trying to use as much black as possible. This time I used hard light layers instead of using darker and lighter colors on coloring layer. I am not sure which way works better. Hard light layer gives more “realistic” colors but I am not after realism.
