Description Sherlock & Mycroft in 221b
Done for my flatmate's friend, who adores Mycroft and wanted a pic of Mycroft and Sherlock together.

Really enjoyed especially doing the background of the flat, even if it's not entirely accurate and took ages to color

I don't remember where the paper texture came from, will update if I find the source again, or if anyone knows, feel free to tell me

I'm sorry, but my danger-sense would be set of and I'd run away in the other direction (and hope Mycroft hadn't arranged a kidnapping in such case).
Nothing good could come from them in the same room, getting along, and requesting your presence. >>;

Anyways, it's lovely. xD

The details in this just slay me! Hogwarts: a History! I love that and the knitting on the other shelf. Somehow I doubt Sherlock has the patience to knit which just makes it that much funnier.

Mycroft and Sherlock both look great!
What did you bribe them with to make them look so happy together?

Hahaha... Thank you! :bows:
I'm actually of the opinion that their bickering is mostly a front, or a mechanism to keep from being completely bored XD

When they do get along, that's when you have to be scared, God knows what the two of them can concoct TOGETHER

Of course I did ^^ tis a great book!

Oh man, I can see Sherlock being all annoyed, like, "He's not giving me enough detail! How am I supposed to figure out who these people are if the author doesn't give me enough detail?!" XP

OriensPhoenix [2010-11-05 07:05:49 +0000 UTC]

Is it sad that one of the first things I see is "Hogwarts: A history"?
But it is such a fitting book. I can see Sherlock Sitting in an armchair reading it, and going like, " If the ceiling shows the sky why use magic? Why not just put a Skylight in? That would make more sense."
And Watson would be like "Because its Fiction, Sherlock. It's supposed to me magical."
"....its illogical"
Mycroft look
But this is really cool, and the detail is amazing! Its nice to see them smiling in the same room without one of them standing on the others dead body XD
Very sweet

Hahaha, "Hogwarts: A History" is actually the first book that I KNOW I just have to put there, so maybe we're just strange in the same way

Plus, I suspect their hostility is really more of a game for them, just to keep everyone else off balance and things at least somewhat interesting between them, but that's probably just me

Anyway, thank you for the lovely comment, I'm glad you like this

flying-katana In reply to alizarin [2010-11-17 16:37:13 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you. They're hostile because just being neutral would be boring and they're too awkward to get along properly.

Vitamin String Quartet does all sorts of songs/tributes to other bands, but here's one I think we've all heard of: [link]
And BTW I also already started the lineart for that "Holmes Brothers" thing we were talking about.
