I really want to cover all three parts of the Strictly Confidential series here: over 140 deviations, plus teasers and even advertising breaks. That amounts to something like 280 images, assuming an average of two images per episode. Full marks for vision, for a start; you can't put together something on this scale without a very clear idea of where you're going. It's a monumental achievement by the team, and the team is key. It's a pity that deviantArt doesn't really facilitate collaborations, although Sir Jerry and Karin haven't let that stop them.

Originality is a tricky one. As I've said before, there are plenty of fetish elements in here - the audience will demand them - but they're cleverly used in the service of the story-line, not just tacked on afterwards. Some episodes may have been predictable, but they were still well done; and there were plenty of pure story twists too.

Sir Jerry's rendering technique has visibly improved even since his return to dA, and I put this down to the technique of the writing department, as I understand Karin likes to be known. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> All the characters have been well formed, and I've even found myself rooting for one of the nominal bad guys.

As for impact, this series has had me on the edge of my seat; it's had me muttering "yeah! Go for it!"; and it's had me chuckling too. I've been treated to a European tour at the same time, courtesy of the multinational cast.

Well done, both of you. I can only suggest a well-earned holiday at this point, much as I might be looking forward to whatever you produce next. I happen to know where there's a disused motel in a beautiful Alpine setting, if you're looking for suggestions where to go. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
