Professor Moriarty

No one really knows who Professor James Moriarty is, yet his name echoes and re-echoes throughout the underworld, and it is spoken with fear and trembling by even the most fearless of criminals. To the general public, James Moriarty is a perfectly respectable professor of mathematics and a pillar of the community, beloved by both his students and his peers. In secret, however, he is a cold, calculating, diabolical criminal mastermind, whose ruthlessness is matched only by his brilliance, and whose shadowy empire is so vast as to stagger the imagination. Not a single solitary soul has been able to connect the Professor to any of his innumerable crimes, not even the legendary Sherlock Holmes has succeeded in this regard, and not for lack of trying either. Always unfailingly polite and courteous, even to his enemies, Professor Moriarty does have a code of honor, but, ultimately, the Napoleon of crime desires power and control, no matter who may stand in his way!

My take on Professor James Moriarty, one of the most iconic villains of all time. I was inspired by how Holmes referred to him as "a spider at the center of a web", hence the spider and web motif on his clothes. I cast Jason Isaacs in the role, because he would absolutely knock it out of the park. I was so excited to bring one of my favorite villains to life, hope you like the deviation and God bless!
