Description
I saw this prompt in the Sherlock Holmes Meme by ~iKoj "Draw Holmes and Watson looking dashing" and thought "Yissss! Something for me."So here you have a dashing young Brett-Holmes and a dashing young Hardwicke-Watson (at least I hope they are kind of dashing) plus obligatory roses and obligatory ornament-excessiveness.
(PS The text in the book says "The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson")

before I looked at what the book in Watson's hands actually read, I was 100% convinced it was going to be a wedding invitation. The fact that I made out "Sherlock Holmes&Dr John Watson" before "the casebook of" really didn't help things XDD
You know I don't ship stuff, but, like... I'm not blind. When two people look married, I can tell. These two people look married as hell to me .D .D .D (seriously, those identical roses on their lapels??? COME ON)
(these are some incredibly drawn roses, btw. They look almost like stained glass. Love the subtle shading that separates the petals so distinctly.)
The fact that they're both carrying the tools of their respective trades makes this composition even more symbolic, art nouveau, and #married . And then, of course, there's The Frame. You know what, Hmelson, go to hell with this frame. My art critic skills are not good enough to talk about how great it is. I quit. I quit.
I spy some Carpi-esque spheres there .D and that criss-cross pattern looks like lacing on a dress or on a pair of Victorian boots... and it's incredibly, viscerally satisfying to look at. Also, this colour scheme that echoes the colour of the walls and the rose bouquet!!!
No, you know, this NEEDS to be a wedding invitation. If H&W were getting married, they'd order something like this to be printed with "you're hereby invited to attend..." on the other side.
this whole drawing just fills my heart with aesthetic satisfaction of the highest order. It's kind of like eating a piece of delicious cake, but emotionally.

Thank you very much! 
THANKS also for the praise of the frame, I did it myself. I always draw one quarter of the whole (half of the upper frame, the corner, half of the side-frame), copy it, turn it around and move it to the right spot (at least this is how it works in Photoshop ; )). Always fun to do. :3

oh...my...gosh... So beautiful! 
Unfortunately, I don't have time so will instead write a nice comment!
This, my dear, is absolutely fantastically amazing! Holmes eyes! Bravo! Holmes entire stance, the pale, beautiful, sharp, Brettishness of his features! his lovely top hat! (that is really quite fantastic!) and his suit! wonderful shading, and I love his pants! not to mention that wondrous rose in his lapell (erm, I think that's what it's called! 
well, dear, all in all I would say this is another smashing success! BRAVO! and, may I add, ENCORE!

... Aww. *purrs* Aww. *purrs* AAAWWWWWW. *PUUURRS*Β
THANKYOUSOVERYMUCHFORTHISHUGECOMMENT, I am beaming with joy, a broaad smile on my face and I surely would be as red as a beetroot if I could blush, but I can't so instead I'm out-grinning every Cheshire Cat.
Wow, I am really quite overwhelmed by your marvellously kind words, this has to be the longest, most elaborated and one of the very sweetest reviews I ever had the pleasure to read under my works. THANK you again for that!! 
I am so happy that you like all these things and details and that everybody thinks Brett is brettish enough (apparently mostly so the eyes) and likes the top hats and and and... *sniffles* well, I am glad. Excellent push for my almost nonexistant artistic complacence. Oh and I am especially happy you remarked that 'dandy' tilt of Watson's head, wonderful to know it shows, this is exactly what I was going for, I always have the impression Watson is a tiny little bit dandy under his correct-victorian-stiffness. xDD Um, by the way, would you recognise young Edward Hardwicke in him if I hadn't written it in the description....? I am a bit unsure whether I really succeded to show Ted...
Oh, the handwriting, thanks for the comliment 
Uh, "encore", I am honoured, deeply so, dearest! Have an army of hugs!! 
I have so many ideas, but there are also so many other things to get done...

Heehee! Well, I am ever so glad to make you so happy! That was indeed the intention of the comment!
Yes, I do believe I could have seen Mr. Hardwicke even if you hadn't mentioned it. 
I understand what you mean, of course, I don't mean to pressure you at all! do take your time!

OOOOhhh, "Draw Holmes and Watson lookin' dashing". Β You really did it! They look very VERY dashing and I absolutely love the way you made clothes, roses (you always rock at drawing flowers!), wall, frames, Holmes' eyes (soh pretty. Holy sack, how they're pretty*_*).... well, everything. xD And I like that text on Watson's notebook...he has beautiful hand-writing. X)

D'aww, I would blush like a tomato now if I could. Have a lil' army of internet blushes instead:
I am truly glad to read you like all these things so much, especially Holmes' eyes, I am bouncing up and down with joy I apparently did justice to the original. ;D
Thank youUuUuU! (also for the kind compliment on Watson's handwriting, hehe)
And now, off to finally write a comment to your latest holmesian masterpiece.
