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

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?

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.

Thanks, I love it!

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

[identity profile] omelton.livejournal.com 2012-11-07 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
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!

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.

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.

Thank you very much :)

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

[identity profile] omelton.livejournal.com 2012-11-07 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks very much; it's lovely to have a picture of mine compared to the official illustrations!

Aww, they look so sweet :)

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