The Spider

^{"First mistake. James Moriarty isn't a man at all. He's a spider. A spider at the center of a web. A criminal web with a thousand threads and he knows precisely how each and every single one of them dances."}
Plus he's a complete and utter madman.

Loved the original photo, because basically it already tells you everything you ever wanted to know about this man. I'm not entirely happy with how my portrait turned out, but I worked on it for too long to not upload it now. Spent the whole day drawing and now my head aches and my back aches and I can't look at anything anymore without thinking about how I would go about drawing that thing. If you would please excuse me now - I'll be drawing some more.
