Hey guys!!

Sherlock's back!

Location: Nth-Gower-St, London, England (YES! the BBC BakerSt)

Convention: Private Shooting in late May 2012

Cosplay: well, obviously Sheet-Sherlock

Photo by superb =theDevil1412


~~~~~~~~~~~

When we were shooting in London a few months ago I decided I had to do this version, too.
Please don't kill me because I didn't wrap the sheet around me the same way Benedict did it!
But still, it is THE door he walked out of, even if my photographer had to edit the door number as they changed it for the filming only (originally being a 187)
The blanket I borrowed from our B&B. That awful B&B.....*shudder* Avoid the Belgravia Hotel. Honestly! Avoid it....!

Even if not shown on this picture I shooted with my lovely John cosplayed by *Rayi-kun So please check out the pictures below as well as her account here on dA!

I hope you like it :3 Faves and Comments are appreciated as always <3
Sherlock cosplay ftw! I just love wearing them <3

Why didn't I think about that?! I don't actually need to make a Sherlock coat. I could just dress up in a sheet and a wig and walk around on the streets with no pants on 😜
I still want to make a coat, but this inspired me. Great job! 👏

MissPaperJoker [2012-08-28 22:52:29 +0000 UTC]

must be so strange for the people who live there to have fans take photographs and... be fan-strange I was also there and only took a photo of me walking past the door, but... even I felt strange doing that
This shoot is very bold! But I like it!

it was like...4 pm? xD I undressed right in front of Speedys. But relax, I was still wearing my trousers and that underwear-getmyboobsaway-top ;D But honestly, it was a lot of fun and I regret nothing

Revelio In reply to Shigeako [2012-08-26 22:05:25 +0000 UTC]

haha! well I wouldn't mind either way, but I thought English people would be less open-minded - but I forgot that it's London, they're used to worse than a naked Sheetlock! xD

did you get anything from Speedy's? their Bakewell tarts kill me ;______; too good!!

Shigeako In reply to Revelio [2012-08-26 22:17:13 +0000 UTC]

haha the story with Speedys is rather funny xDD We went there and they were already closing as we were kinda late. I tried the lemon cake and nearly died because of omg it's the best fucking cake in the world!
Chris, the owner of Speedys, was very nice and took a picture of us and posted it on twitter xDD My John and I couldn't stop grinning for days He just told my John who went to Speedys again just a few days ago that he showed around our pictures. We started smiling stupidly again X___X I'm chatting a lot with him on twitter as the whole stuff is really lovely <3 oh and the Sherlock Wrap and the Cream Tea are magnificent, too!

I think next time we go to London we'll have to do it in cosplay too. Maybe in time for series 3, as we're already booked for our next UK trip in the Midlands/Wales this year, but who knows? Next year would be cool, and then we should really take some pictures. This time, we were quite busy "researching"... we went to Baker Street ( [link] <-- picture folder! :3), the Tower, Bart's (FEELS!! ;___, North Gower St./Speedy's and Tower 42 for dinner... that one ended up being reverse cosplay because most of the stuff we were wearing went into our Irene/Sherlock cosplay afterwards! It was SO. AMAZING. And next time, I want Moriarty at the Tower!! This is my project

can't wait. I will go back to London in May again for Expo and fun and cosplay and ...everything xD And if possible for a work placement as well. expensive shit this city.....!

Revelio In reply to Shigeako [2012-08-26 22:33:28 +0000 UTC]

oh hell yeah... if we ever work in London it won't be until maaany years from now! it's so exhausting being there though, it never sleeps.
I'm actually enjoying cosplay and stuff a lot more here in Germany! I used to travel to London twice or thrice a year for cosplay as a teenager, but now everyone we know is here and it's a lot more spread out with Frankfurt/Kassel/Bonn/etc. to choose from rather than just one place... but I can't say that I didn't miss London when and after we were there! Who knows.....

Your cosplay, my friend, is perfection
You make a really nice Sherlock -- I loved the part where he was just casually walking about in a sheet. It was just so very Sherlock.
Also, best setting EVER. xD
