Oh, lovely! I do like the little touch of Watson's closed eyes, and Holmes' expression is so very Holmesian.

[omelton.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I didn't want to give Holmes too strong an expression, but I was worried he looked too wooden. I'm glad you think it suits.

Oh, so well done! I like how pale Holmes is in comparison to Watson.
Can someone tell me where the original fic is located?

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

Here is a link to it (http://liquidfix.livejournal.com/12884.html) :) It's just a short drabble.

Thanks very much; I made sure to start colouring them with completely different skintones :)

Both are so true to character! And this is so gentle. Lovely work, thank you for sharing.

[tripleransom.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I love it!

[omelton.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. It's lovely to hear you thought my renditions of them true to character.

Waaa! Thank you so much, Anon! You know, I wrote that little drabble so long ago now that I had to go back myself and reread it. As soon as the reveal is done I'm definitely going to link to this! It really means a lot that you took the time to do such a fitting illustration :)

Thanks again! ♥

You're very welcome, and thank you for writing the drabble in the first place - it was highly inspiring and definitely deserved an illustration :). I'm very pleased you think the picture fitting, that's the very best outcome for me!

Oh my, Victorian men with naked feet.

<3

[omelton.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure if naked feet would be too outré - and then I figured that Holmes can do what he wants. Glad you liked the feet and the picture, thank you!

[fabelschwester.livejournal.com]

Indeed he can, seems very in character.
Maybe he even used to wear those Persian slippers before one got lost.

Such a tender moment, lovingly captured. Beautiful work, Anon, thank you.

[omelton.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, and thank you for the kind comment. I was worried the picture and poses looked to stiff, and I'm glad you think it tender.

Lovely!

[omelton.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much :)

Very nice. Very pretty, and it puts me in mind of the Strand illustrations, well done!

[omelton.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much; it's lovely to have a picture of mine compared to the official illustrations!

[dreamtimegirl.livejournal.com]

Aww, they look so sweet :)

Thank you, I was trying for a fuzzy atmosphere :)
