Oh goodness this is beautiful. Their faces! They look so utterly real. And the relaxed intimacy in their postures, and the clothes! I'll just be over here in the corner admiring this picture...
Beautiful! I love the positioning, how unbalanced and dynamic it is. Their expressions say so much. I love your rendering of fingers and folds and faces. Lovely.
Delightful, casual intimacy, and their faces - sigh :-). I'm thinking this is Sussex and the pattern behind them is a huge map of the Holmes "estate" or the secluded village of Fulworth, but that's probably my wild imagination.
OMG, that's gorgeous! I love the looks on their faces. Holmes looks so inwardly content and Watson is so happy. Sigh. I can't imagine who that talented artist could be...
Cheers, triple :) Glad it came over as contented moment ... I was sort of going for 'everything is sorted, case is finished, and Holmes gets to explain it all with pleasure :)'
Incredibly touching. It is a testament to your talent and skill hat even fully clothed this picture spells "lovers" to me in such a deeply erotic way that I cannot quite find the G-rating justified. ;)
Oh wow. This is sublime. I love how it could be either a conversation or just a quiet, tender shared moment. The look on Holmes's face! And the way Watson looks so solid and dependable and real! But look, Holmes still looks sharp and alert under the fondness and Watson still looks like he'd spring up in a second to follow if he had to. This is such a clever, thoughtful study of their characters, mystery artist, and yet you've managed to also make it poignant and lovely. Thank you so much, I adore it.
Phew, I was so glad it was OK, as art is very different from fic! It's hard to show an adventure, so I could only try to show the sort of...post-adventure telling.
For some things in life, "beautiful" is simply insufficient. The quiet grace and comfort with each other, the intimacy, the age on them and the evidence of a life shared together - this is simply sublime. Well done, mystery artist.

Date: 2014-04-19 05:20 am (UTC)I get all melty at Holmes and Watson as an old retired couple, and I love the touch of the map of Sussex behind them.
