Description Seriously people, go for full view. It looks a thousand times better. I'm not sure why but you don't get the full effect of the shading in the small view version.

I have been working on this pretty much solidly all week in an attempt to distract myself from all that's going on. And so, I dedicate this piece to all my lovely, lovely watchers who have been so nice over me going ever so slightly batty this week.

So yeah, if you guys are reading this, thanks. I really, really appreciated it.

In other news, Benedict Cumberbatch is several shades of magnificent but utterly impossible to draw . . .

EDIT- Crap! Sorry, I meant to admit this right from the start but I forgot. I didn't paint the sky in the background. The sky is a photomanipulation from a picture I took at Cowdray Castle.

Thank You for making this. I've read the description and have thought that You are brilliant.

But, God!! Not the Reichenbach feels again*falls from the chair with miserable face*I've seen many versions of this moment, but somehow when I am looking at Yours I can honestly say that I can feel the wind and literally hear Sherlock's "Goodbye John" .

I admire the way You've made the detective's hair and tears. No other words, except BRILLIANT. His hair looks sooo soft*pokes her finger in the screen*

And the idea with letters and...

ACTUALLY, THERE IS NO NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY I LOVE THIS, JUST BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS AND JUST SIMPLY IN LOVE WITH IT.

Very kind of you to say so. ^^ I must admit I'm very proud of his hair. I want to run up behind him, ruffle his hair all to hell and then run away again and leave him with this crazy, fluffy mess on top of his head.

Glad you like, although I do sincerely apologise for reviving your Reichenbach feels.

Yeah, the feels,damn feels are here again, though it is worth of it, I must admit.

*imagines*cool: You running and ruffling Sherlock's hair and then magically disappears)) Sherlock's face would be priceless*winks*

Amazing!!! You did a brilliant job with his face, and the wind effect--hair, scarf, coat... just amazing. And the letters are a touch of genius. I think I'd better go do something completely unrelated before I get all depressed over this scene again...

Very kind, glad you like and yes, everyone's of the opinion that we need a sort of Reichenbach Support Group because dammit, the FEELS!!

.....
I was listening to the Sherlock season 2 soundtrack while writing (as I so often do) , and thought "hey, I'll check deviantART," just as "Blood On The Pavement" starts playing. I checked my notifications, went "ooh, new artwork," clicked on it, and saw this. With the music from that scene already playing in the background.
You have utterly broken my feels.
You are some kind of feel-smashing mind reader.
I can't believe any reference to this scene STILL makes me so sad. I mean, it was in January. But it still hurts. Bloody Reichenbach. Bloody Mofftiss. Bloody Steve Thompson. Bloody feels. Bloody rooftop. Bloody pavement. (Oh god, that last one's literal, I just upset myself again.)
But this picture is beautiful. The letters from his phone and the tears and the sky and his facial expression...it's perfect.
I now urgently require comfort ice-cream.

Ps. I hope you're feeling a bit better now and everything's ok.

Seriously. We REALLY need to set up the Reichenbach Support Group for Distressed Fangirls/Boys. Everyone's still freaking out about it so much, we need help!

In other news, I sincerely apologise for breaking your feels and yes, I am feeling a little better now. ^^

Oh. Wow. That's... So SAD! But I love it! Especially the falling words and the hair and the tears...
This scene kills me every time.

Very kind, glad you like. Although I agree that viewing that scene should be carefully rationed in order to minimise the emotional trauma ^^

Yes. It should be then remedied with industrial strength comedy in generous doses!

You suck. You monumentally suck. Dammit. Don't mind me, I'm just sobbing now. I love you, but you're killing me.

And just so you know, when I started crying, my mom was sitting in the room. She looks up at me, without seeing what is on the screen, and says

"Did Hugmonster break you?"

Congratulations, you're a household name.

HugMonster341 In reply to TheInscrutableHolmes [2012-08-18 08:42:26 +0000 UTC]

I would say I'm sorry.

But, I'm really, really not.

I'm just so pleased that one of my pictures can provoke a proper emotional reaction and not just an 'hmm, s'alright.'

Although I think we really need to create the Reichenbach Relief Group which provides emotional support for heartbroken fangirls/boys. I made the mistake of listening to the background music for this scene whilst drawing it. NEVER again. My God, it took me a full ten minutes to stop bawling my eyes out.

Snot. EVERYWHERE!

In other news, I can't decide whether I am proud or alarmed that your mother thinks of me first when you start to cry. Although I will admit that as soon as I read your comment I squee'd and ran and showed my big brother. I'll have to write your mum a letter apologising for tormenting you and rendering her daughter incoherent with grief on a semi-regular basis.

Very, very glad you like Grasshopper ^^

First of all, YAY for distracting art because sometimes you just gotta draw.
Secondly this is so beautiful I
ok I'm going to have to break out the capslock at some point because

JESUS WOMAN THIS IS SO GORGEOUS I AND THE SCARF AND THE COLLAR AND THE HAIR HAIR HAIR OH LORD I'VE BEEN SOBBING ALL DAY BECAUSE OF BIRDSONG AND NOW

ok ok I'm cool.
But yes this is gorgeous and I can't get over his tears and the text and. Ok.

What I think we've learnt from this little spurt of incoherent adjectives is that I am in no way over Reichenbach.
Group hug?

Aww dear. Come on, come to your Aunty Hugsy.

*Bundles you up in a big protective hug*

I know it's hard. No one's over Reichenbach. And that brilliant acting and the music and the crying and the . . . *sniffs* . . . reaching out for each other . . . And the 'one more miracle' . . . 'Just for me' . . .

*bawls*

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLD MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! IT'S SO SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!

Ahem . . . In other news, very kind. I'm glad you like, especially his upper torso because damn, that bit was fiddly! It's good to know it looks OK

. . . Group hug . . . I think we're going to have to start a Reichenbach Relief group for stressed fangirls.

Well done, clever observant person! Because I wouldn't have noticed that for about a year and a half. For your intelligence, you win a cookie! ^^

Thank you for the cookie, but I can't eat it for another hour and a quarter.
