SWEET BABY JESUS.




There's just so many things! It's just so beautiful!! <3 <3 <3

I adore the details (the background with the trees and the path. How the trees border the pic and surrounds them. John's armor and sword. His curious (and perhaps slightly aroused?) expression as he looks at Sherlock for the first time, playing the most beautiful and enchanting music he's ever heard on the violin. You get the idea that John's like how could I ever slay such a creature? Sherlock, engrossed in the music (but you know he's totally aware of John!) in his own wonderfully fine clothes. Such gorgeous detail and creativity of Sherlock's scales and horns (omg).

AND YOU DREW ME SHERLOCK PLAYING THE VIOLIN!!




And then and then!! The second picture John is just so aroused and enraptured by Sherlock. He's gripping Sherlock's arm so tightly and the blush on his cheeks! I wonder if the moon is shining on Sherlock cause there's lighting on his face. Sherlock's stare is so damn intense! Holy shit! And the detail you did on his eyes. It's just so damn beautiful. It stands out from everything else. I <3 how this time it's Sherlock's massive wings framing the pic.

I love how the art is dark. The coloring is magnificent. It seems on the surface that there's only a few shades used but it's more deeper than that. And I think that represents this art very well actually.

I have to write a story about this piece someday. I just have to. It's so inspiring. Just wow. Thank you so much. This is amazing.

OMGOMGOMG! *cuddles your comment and makes embarrassing happy noises* I was a bit worried if you'll like what I came up with, and I'm so happy you did!!!
Sherlock's otherwordly, pale gaze was kindof the very first thing I noticed about him when watching the show for the first time (I don't think I knew Benedict before), and it made me pause and think - wow, he is beautiful! <3 I'm so glad I seem to have managed to make that happen :) And pleasepleaseplease, story, there is not enough dragonlock out there <3
