Description " God save the Queen... and Benedict Cumberbatch ! "

*edit* I added some width to the Picture because I wasn't happy with the first version : means more Sherlock's hair ! yayy ! And a bit of change in the eyes too

What can I say ... love his features , love this Splendid Character Benedict portrays here ...just perfect

Dear Zest:

This is Indy. Greetings from Canada!! I hope this finds you and yours well.

Please let me put this in my faves list and you on my watch list. The best compliment I can give to this piece is NGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! Translated: You've made him so real looking that he looks as though he could speak!!!! The scar below his one eye was a nice touch.

Art like this makes becoming of this website the best thing I ever did!!!

Keep up the good work, kiddo!!!

                                                                                      Believing in Sherlock Holmes always,

                                                                                      Indy.

Hi you!! I haven't been on deviant art in ages, and when I come back there's this loveliness. Great work! I've recently become a huge fan of the show (I know, late to the party, as always). Anyway just had to tell you what a fab job you did...again, as always.

Hi yourself ! I should have guess that you'd come to like Sherlock at some point ,seems to be an unavoidable Slasher thing You know I was late to the party as well , I got the two Seasons some weeks ago and since I can't help but watch them over and over again , such an incredible acting and so beautifuly written !
I can't believe I had never considered a couple as obvious as these 2 yet they were obviously mythical and I knew them since forever !
Hope you're allright and all happy R. ...

I am, thank you! And you yourself, how do you get on? Very well I hope!

I actually didn't care too much for the BBC Sherlock series myself when I saw the first episode. I'm a bit of a traditionalist I guess, and way back when I used to loooove the Granada series with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. I even have a letter and postcard from them that they were kind enough to send after I made a fan art piece for each of them (blush). I treasure those notes. True old-school gentlemen they both were.
Anyway needless to say I have loved the mythos since forever but the idea of updating it to the present at first seemed...very contrived to me. However, I am happy to admit I was wrong, wrong...the new series has totally won me over with the writing and acting, and how natural it seems for the tales to exist in this time. Once I shed a few tears at the most recent episode I knew I was hooked! Must get the whole set on dvd.

Keep making your lovely artwork M! Makes me super happy to see. xoxo

Aw R. , I love the idea that you sent your lovely artwok to Mr Brett and Hardwicke , no wonder that these two gentlemen would have been thrilled !!

Of course there has been a whole bunch of interpretations of the Sherlock Myth onscreen , there's such endless possibilities ! And I think it's how you can tell how great a myth is , that it can actually so easily time travel
I wondered at first about the connection between Sherlock and the new technologies as well ... but right after I saw the first episode I was more than convinced that it could work just fine !
Of course the writing and the playing are incredible , and I'm developing such a crush on Benedict Cumberbatch right now that I can be classified as a #cumberbitch no wonder ! I'm doing another portrait of him right now , I'm so grateful for the Wacom tablet as an alternative now that my hands are not good enough anymore to do traditional work !

I really have to check out about your recent pieces of work love , I'm always short of time ( in and out the hospital for tests on drugs for my illness, but I'm used to it now , I manage just fine )
xoxo to you too !

Dear JJackm:

This is Indy. Greetings from Canada!! I hope this finds you and yours well.

Do you get PBS? That's where you'll find Sherlock right after Downton Abbey on Sunday nights. Season 3 is due to start here on January 19th of next year. Have you see Seasons One and Two yet? If not, I suggest you go to an HMV shop and purchase them on DVD.

Mr. Holmes will be getting his cheekbones rearranged at 10:00 pm on the evening of the 19th.

I hope this helps!!!

                                                                                Believing in Sherlock Holmes,

                                                                                 Indy.
