Description
"My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation."- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Sign of the Four'
Don't look at me like that.
Yes, I know I said that I probably wouldn't be able to do any drawings soon because of work but I AM SO EASILY DISTRACTED and THIS ART HOMEWORK is SO VERY DULL.
And I know it looks rushed, and Sherlock is tiny in comparison to Holmes, and it doesn't quite look right and, in the name of surprising rice, do not as me to do digital calligraphy again because I did that in about half a minute and couldn't be bothered to re-do it.
*Breathes*
Buuut, the idea came to me in the middle of Graphics, and all I wrote down on my hand was 'STAGNATION', and I totally forgot what it meant until about twenty minutes ago. Hence this... this... whatever this is.
And also because a couple of you asked for a bit of a BBC/RDJ crossover, so TA DA.
*headdesk*
Now I really must do some coursework.
Drawn in PS CS5, in... just over twenty minutes. Listening to he BBC Sherlock soundtrack, which arrived today!

John's face at the end is made of win. And kittens.
AND THE WRITING. THE WRITING IS AWESOME. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER TOLD YOU HOW MUCH I AM JELLY OF YOUR HANDWRITING. I MEAN, IT'S LEGIBLE AND EVERYTHING. O_O
And the calligraphy. o_o It's so awesome. o_o
AND HOLMES' OUTFIT. O_O
HELL, IT'S ALL AWESOME. YOU ARE MADE OF WIN.

And rainbows. Thank you!
M-my handwriting? I always thought my caps-lock writing was appalling. As is my regular handwriting. And my exam handwriting really is awful. I'm surprised examiners can mark it at all. But thanks very much!
Your comments make me smiiiiile.

Of course, how could I forget rainbows?
Yes, your handwriting. 
As yours make me smile.

And perhaps marshmallows. We're still awaiting results for the marshmallow test.
Well, thanks again.

Just prior to reading that sentence, I ate a marshmallow. o_o While we're on the subject of marshmallows, here, have some fancy hot chocolate! 
ORLY? [link] - that's my handwriting when I try and make it legible.

C-Cadbury's... with peppermint? And mashmallows?! Gosh, now I need to go out and buy some hot chocolate. I've been drinking tea most evenings, which is fine, but Cadbury's hot chocolate wins hands down. ;D
See, your handwriting's fiiine! And your art is so cute. Which reminds me - why on earth wasn't I watching you before? D: *Rectified*

Heh.
Is it? 
WAIT. WHUT. YOU. YOU WATCHED ME. YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DEVIANTS EVER AND YOU ARE NOW WATCHING ME. I AM HONOURED. I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER WHERE THE CAPSLOCK KEY IS.
I can't find an emote to express how happy I am right now, so here, have a picture of David Tennant pulling a strange face.

I'm going to have to try that sometime. The week I was in Italy, I think I had one or two mugs of tea every night. Not so much for the tea itself, but just as an excuse to eat as many Italian biscotti as I could.
It is. I quite like it, actually.
Your comment made me grin like a lunatic.
DAVID! I will hug him forever. In return, have Benedict Cumberbatch.

Aww, thank you!
Grinning like a lunatic. Grinning like a lunatic is cool.

aww How can he/they occupy themselves? And with cluedo out the question as well..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, definitely not Cludeo. It's bad enough when it's Sherlock and John, but Sherlock and Holmes?
I can see them arguing over whodunnit.
'Plum!'
'Peach!'
'Plum!'
'Peach!'
'Plum was he victim!'
'That is exactly the point!'

AH! In idea has presented itselfffff!!! OHYEA!!
For a new paper cutting, how about I cut it out of the Cluedo instructions... With a sherlock silhouette and words that saw "WELL THE RULES ARE WRONG!" aaarrrrghhh! oh I am happy now!
Thanks you have inspired mee! Kind of in a way! Thanks!

Eeeeeeeeeeeee, that would be amazing!
That's such a brilliant idea! Can't wait to see it!
Hehe, you're welcome!

Thanks! I just got all happy and then my brother (11) asked what was wrong with me and I said that the Cluedo instructions have an appointment with my craft knife that I would hate them to miss.
as you may guess this got a weird look!

I am so very tempted to write a fic where John is stuck with two Sherlock's now 
Anyway. I love how the two Sherlock's look alike, it's quite amusing. I don't know why... it just...is 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be brilliant! But, as ever, I look forward to whatever you write.
Thanks so much!

Poor John... Two bored Sherlock ! Twice more expermiment in the kitchen, twice more bulletholes in the wall, twice more tea to do... I think He's going to be veeeery tired soon !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
John must feel hopelessly outnumbered.
And Mrs. Hudson must be exhausted after all the cleaning.
Not that she's their housekeeper. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD C'mon, Let's get John out of this mess and take a coffee with him!
When we'll be back home, the two Sherlock will probably either experimenting together or in a mind-fight ... Which may be better than bored!
