There is no possible way this could fail to please. :-) It is fantastic in every sense of the word. Ahem, as defined by Merriam Webster:

1a : based on fantasy : not real
b : conceived or seemingly conceived by unrestrained fancy
c : so extreme as to challenge belief : unbelievable; broadly : exceedingly large or great
2: marked by extravagant fantasy or extreme individuality : eccentric
3: fantastic : excellent, superlative

Seriously, this is fabulous and gorgeous. I think my favorite bit is where Sherlock has inserted his little cartoon self into the dinghy (he's actually willing to do some piratical grunt work!) and then bringing up the tail end getting back onto the ship. It's all amazing - the maps and the ships and the text! And he's still willing to accept the knighthood at this point - even if it is Boring!

The layers and the over-all scope of the piece are all just blowing me away.

In general - Squee! Thank you so very, very much anon artist! I love it to bits and I cannot believe it was made just for me! I hope you are having a very Happy Holmestice. :-)
