Description VOTE FOR ME IN THE SHERLOCK AND I CONTEST

Just note the group with the number 12!

Thank God this contest came around, I needed an excuse to fangirl with my childhood love

My Entry for the Sherlock and I contest at #sherlock-holmes .

Hot on the trail of a deranged French serial murderer, Holmes and his newly-found companion, Alexandra (it's me, geddit), search the damp and dangerous Paris catacombs.

Sherlock was too much fun to design, and of course the skulls are all my little friends. <3

This artwork was my 1st pick. When I looked into Your gallery it just appeared - right into my eyes. It is wonderful eyecatcher - great composition, wonderful coloring and light, and storytelling that makes the viewer imagine what is it all about. I love it!

The details and the clothes and the skulls and the expressions and the colours and the lighting and the writing on the side and the EVERYTHING! I especially love the way you have a lady character who Holmes respects and who can keep up with him and is clever and tough in her own right. And her hair! Her hair is gorgeous!

 

Every time I look at this I find something else that's amazing about it! I should probably stop now or I'll overload your inbox with gushing over how stupendous this is. Oops.

Oh, no, please, if you have more to say, please say it!  I love hearing feedback, and yours is so flattering! 


Her hair is My hair, I'm blushing!

Okay, then! I'll gush a bit more then!

 

I love her eyes! And her expression! She's looks so "Dark, creepy catacombs? I've got this." And her clothes are lovely 

I've also become completely intrigued by that old-looking piece of paper. It looks like a really awesome treasure map or something! And I really do love the lighting. It's downright gorgeous! Sort of warm and mysterious at the same time.

And Holmes looks almost exactly like I imagined him! That pretty much never happens! And he looks like he's having a ball!

 

And I really do love that hair style on her.

 

Once again, this is absolutely brilliant!

You have no idea how much it means to have you like this so much!  I'm especially happy that Mr. Holmes turned out the way you always imagined him.  


If you want, you can vote for me in the Sherlock Contest this is entered in!  It's on my journal!

No problem! This deserves as much praise as I can give it!

And yes, you have no idea how rarely Sherlock Holmes looks like what I see in my head. Yours is the closest I've seen in a long time. It makes me happy!

Consider the voting done!
