Gorgeous! The lighting is fantastic. I really like the shadow cast by the window on the wall. It's all so tactile and soft. And of course the looks on their faces, Watson longing and Holmes still somewhat hesitant. Great work!

Thank you! Bakerstreet very probably does not have a window like this, but I couldn't resist. So we'll have to say they are on a case... or on holiday... ;D

So soft and dreamy and full of potential action, Lovely! (So much love for Watson's hairline!)

[fabelschwester]

Haha, yay for Watson's hairline indeed! ^^

Wow, so beautiful! I loved the scene, the position, but especially Sherlock. Awesome! Thanks!

Thank you!

My dear anon, how thrilled I was to see this appear in our modly inbox. I had debated replying with all my 'squee' at the time, but decided to wait until this was posted to show my appreciation.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BB I LOVE IT.

Watson's profile is absolutely gorgeous. The texture of their hair is lovely. Even the design and cuff on Holmes's shirt is lovely. The background wallpaper and lighting is lovely. Oh the lighting. And Holmes's fixed stare, contemplating and gauging a decision. You have most certainly managed to capture a peaking moment of UST - my ultimate favourite when it comes to these two.

Also thank you for treating me with RDJ!Holmes and Law!Watson. I greatly missed them. Now excuse me as I go print this out and gaze at it on my wall. :)

CHEATING! ;D Lol, if I had known you'd be modding I had so zipped that file! Haha, anyhow, I'm so glad you like it. Richie!Verse for the win, I don't think I've drawn in this verse before, and it was great fun. Lots of drooling looking at reference pictures, you see?

Oh my gosh, I'm surprised my computer hasn't overheated from the sizzling tension in this beautiful image! I love the burning intensity in Holmes's eyes and the way Watson's eyes seem to be fluttering shut at his touch. The textures in this area beautiful, from the softness of their hair to the way the light falls across their skin, and the details like the wallpaper, the shape of the window on the wall, and Holmes's relative dishabille give the entire piece such depth. This is absolutely gorgeous, Anon! Brava!!!

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I totally tried to capture exactly the feeling you describe. I hope your computer is well, though! :)
