Title: A Charming Picture
Recipient: [personal profile] fleetsparrow
Artist: [personal profile] ghostbees
Verse: Rathbone films
Characters/Pairings: Holmes &/ Moriarty
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Summary: “Then we shall walk together through the Gates of Eternity hand-in-hand.” / “What a charming picture that would make.”
Artist’s Note:So happy to have got to draw those two for you! I never really see much Daniell Moriarty content, but he is absolutely wonderful and that scene you mentioned in your signup post is honestly everything. The funky colours are inspired by the original lobby cards for The Woman in Green.

Oh; the colors and lines and balance and the beautiful stars are so satisfying!

Thank you, I added the stars on a whim for balance and they looked really neat!

Oh my goodness this is simply gorgeous!!! I love the stars hanging behind them, and Moriarty's faint smile looking at Holmes... It has this sort of cozy/wistful vibe that I really like. The amount of chemistry these two have, even in just one drawing, is incredible. And I love the texture of the matching jackets, and the green curtains.

Thanks so much, it was really cool trying to transform this little scene into an atmospheric frame.

Very well executed, indeed...and so wonderfully civilized of these two, arch-enemies though they be. Charming, indeed, and not a little amusing into the bargain.

oh Oh OH! I am living for this!! From the colors to the archway to the way they are looking each other right in the eyes to the intimacy of the match and pipe, I just !!!

Oh goodness!!

I love this to pieces! Thank you so much!!!

Really glad you liked it! I remember that scene vividly from when I fist watched it... over 12 years ago? So when you mentioned this specific prompt I knew I had to illustrate it. I love doing art for "less" popular adaptations or at least adaptations that don't get much exposure :)

Oh, ho ho ho! A charming piece! I like the contrast of the flat colors of their skin/shirts/cuffs/the archway with the watercolor textures elsewhere. Love the lobby card vibes. One can almost see a title and tagline pushing their way through the green curtain.

Thank you so much! I was going to go with just some cheeky washes but the moment I saw the cards I was like, I NEED TO WORK THIS IN. Would love to do more pieces like that.
