Dude i literally love you. I just *enthusiastically waves at all of this* HOLY SHIT?!!!! I recognized you ,obviously, it could've been a bit harder since i haven't seen many of your drawings where you used lighting and shading like you did in this comic, but the "busted!" panel immediately gave you out.
But Jesus Christ almighty, the way you used darkness and light and how it influenced the atmosphere of the panels?
I don't know if it was intentional, but in the 3rd page it looks like the bullet that wounded Watson in the flashback also hits Holmes' wound to his temple as if they're joint as much in their love as they are in their pain. Even the hands holding the bloody butt of the gun, like rachelindeed pointed out, turning into Holmes taking Watson's hands in his own were a stroke of genius.

I can't say you left me speechless because I could literally talk about this for days but wow. I wish I could print this and nail it to my bedroom ceiling so it could be the last thing I see before I fall a sleep and the first thing I see when i wake up in the morning. I love how your style fits Jeremy's and Edwards' faces like a glove. I love the lighting (YES I'M STILL TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHTING) and the overall composition of the comic? The silent storytelling? UGH, poetic art.

Thank you so much for this, it made a shitty day ten times better.
