adorable, and wonderfully spare line, shape, telling SO MUCH feeling. **loves**

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you! The story was very inspiring. So glad to hear you liked it!

Wow. I don't know the original source, but you conveyed so much in a few panels! I love the lack of faces, for the most part, or partial glimpses. It's all about what's held back, it seems. Really beautiful. I'll have to try and find the story now!

[bk7brokemybrain.livejournal.com]

Okay, just read the fic. WOW. Knowing what your art is about makes it even more touching and moving.
I didn't mention before, but the way you draw Holmes's hands with such delicacy, especially cuffed behind his back, made the great man seem so vulnerable and defeated. That was the worst part of the fic for me, the despair and frustration he was fighting. Lovely!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Oh my, your comments really made my day when you posted them! So sweet. The panel with Holmes under arrest was one of the first things I thought of when I read the story--once I had that in my head, I knew I had to do something multi-panel! Very glad you liked it and thought it fit tweedisgood's amazing work. :)

This is gorgeous. I love the handcuff panel especially, and how minimal everything is.

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That panel's one of my favorites too. :)

*catches breath*

*looks again*

Oh. Oh. Thank you: so spare, capturing the bleak reality of those two days in captivity; so veiled and allusive, the coming together.

I love this, in case you weren't sure...

P.S. Hotlink to the fic for those who would like it: Two Days (http://tweedisgood.livejournal.com/133533.html)

I've already rattled on and on about how much I love this story, so I won't go through it again, but...YOUR STORY. IT IS AWESOME. I'm really glad you liked the gift! :D

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

Lovely, lovely work. I adore the story and this keeps up with it in content and style. Bravo!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love this story too--can't think of a better compliment. :)

[equusentric.livejournal.com]

Lovely ♥

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[selinabln.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

[sabrinaphynn.livejournal.com]

The spare style works so well. :-)
(damn, I need my Brett videos back from my therapist!! This is causing massive cravings!)

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Oh, and Brett cravings FTW (David Burke too...mmmm, that mustache is my weakness).

[sabrinaphynn.livejournal.com]

Hee. Great timing, BTW... Woke up this morning recalling some sort of Brett dream involving a ghost story, hidden passages...

Yes Burke's 'stashe is a thing of beauty. :D pretty eyes too...

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

And his smile! And Brett's smile as well. Sigh.

The panels seem to catch perfectly the animal vulnerability Holmes usually disregards in himself. Great work for a great story, thank you both!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you! I think I must chalk up the realization of Holmes' vulnerability to tweedisgood's brilliant writing. Her story painted such a clear picture in my head, it took almost no effort on my part to draw it!

[mme-saberage.livejournal.com]

The hats. The hats are killing me with cuteness. <3

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Hehe, the hats were a last-minute addition! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed them. Of course Holmes' hat would have murderous intentions on fangirls. Ooh gosh, now I'm dying for some hat!fic. :)

[adena-kaiba.livejournal.com]

An truly amazing work. I really love it. Thank you for sharing!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you for commenting! :D

This is such a stylish, perfectly composed, wonderfully compelling piece, anon. I adore the design elements you incorporated- it gave the deceptively simple black and white drawings and text added visual punch in addition to giving the piece a more Victorian feel. I love the snapshot-like pieces of art and how perfectly they tell the story, and the lettering is beautiful and adds the perfect personal touch. This is so beautiful and wholly original- I adore what you've done with this, and Tweedisgood is a lucky, lucky fangirl to have her story honored in this way. Bravissima!!!!!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so happy to hear you liked the wallpaper! I was actually listening to some commentary on the BBC update, and people kept raving about wallpaper, and I thought...huh. Maybe I need some of that. :) And gosh, thank you for complimenting my hideous handwriting. :-/ I actually meant to replace it with typed text, but I ran out of time! :D

This is wonderful.

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[antesqueluz.livejournal.com]

So beautiful.

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[tsuki-no-hana.livejournal.com]

Absolutely lovely!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you!

[skriftlig.livejournal.com]

God, I love your style of art. Holmes' cuffed hands are stunning and the two hats at the end are simply wonderful. I think my favourite panel is the "two hours of hoping" one - we don't see much of them in their chairs but they are completely recognisable.

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D That was probably the most fun panel to draw, especially the pipe. Who doesn't like a good armchair scene? So glad you enjoyed it!

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you for the compliment.

[vsee.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely fantastic! Spare and emotional. It only enhances and expands the original ideas. Wonderful.

[numberthescars.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed it and felt it complimented the story. :)
