You're too kind :) Moriarty was (and always is) just so much fun to draw!

Beautiful. I love this style, and the two-tone works so well here. Fantastic shadowing.

[sherlockholmes]

I really appreciate it! I consider this my blue period ;)

I didn't expect to receive art, but this is a really pretty piece! I especially love the swirl in Irene's hair and the shadowing!

Great composition! Thank you very much! :D

[sherlockholmes]

Haha! Yes, I'm sorry that it's art :/ I did have an idea worked out for a story, but I just couldn't make it happen and so I thought it might be better to draw you something than mash at keys and be unsatisfied! I'm very glad you like it though :) I was worried you'd be disappointed!

This is really awesome- I love the way that each frame has a suggestive background texture, and I love the noir style you've given this piece, your use of palette, and especially the images you selected. They're beautifully rendered, too. Fantastic work, Anon! Brava!

Merci!

I've always really been captivated by Film Noir-ishness and old-school movie posters and book covers, and so that was sort of the inspiration behind this piece, for sure. I'm really glad you like it!
