Been thinking of doing an Anime Sherlock Holmes.

Probably not a full on comic, but a novella with anime illustrations.

I’ve only gotten two drawn so far.

I like Holmes in the darker colors of the second picture.

Yeah, that’s part of the style. Anime doesn’t have a lot of guys in our demographic represented.
generally, everyone important to the story is this age as the main protagonists, there are children to save or to add comic relief, and there are "the establishment" (older characters who show intermittently as npc types and are police/elder home/g-man/dying mentor)
 
This has been played from so many angles depending on the author/director. If Holmes didn't exist, Lestrade would be considered a great detective on his own merit. In some productions, he has no covetousness toward the honor but in many he shows second chair envy. Not intending to influence but I love the non competition version who honors Holmes as friend and colleague. There can always be conflict even in that but in so many shows they play it like he wants to dismiss Holmes and that is just not how the original was written, but that is relying on my memory of it.

Your rendition feels right. I can totally lock on that pic.
