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.

This is lovely. They're so dignified.

LOVE it!

Oh wow, this is lovely! Both their expressions! The framing! Everything. :D

[gardnerhill]

Great likenesses of them both!

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

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.

Those colors are stunning, especially that deep blue! What a gorgeous piece of art. Thank you for sharing it!

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.

Charming indeed! There's such an intimacy to this.

[fleetsparrow]

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!!!

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.
