Verse: ACD
Author's summary: n/a
Reccer's comments: I have to admit that I tend to look for representations of Sherlock Holmes (and other characters) that are not inspired by prominent visual representations such as actors. Not that I know all actors that ever played Holmes or all illustrations, but this one is nicely unique.
The text is such a great way to show Holmes in contemplation/thinking his thinky thoughts. The different layers and fonts take some time to decipher, but if there is one person who can think them at once and still make sense of them, it surely is Holmes.
Last but not least, I really like the composition of this artwork, the colours, the contrast between Holmes and the text. And the fact that he props up his foot against the frame ♥
Enjoy!
