Description

What? They were *not* gay in the books? *Runs to the bookshelf*

Oh yeah, right. It was my fangirlism again haha.
But seriously, when does subtext transform into a intext? Oh well. For me Watson/Holmes is reality no matter what, since even as a small child I comprehended that they just go together so well. At least they do love each other as friends so deeply, it doesn't even take imagination to think the rest^^

Though, I have nothing agaist het-pairings at all, I think it's only probable and lovely that Waston married his Mary and Holmes/Irene Adler surely is intriguing, but for me, nothing beats W/H. I've been thinking my head full which one would be dominant, at first I though Holmes of course, you silly girl! But but... Holmes is rather moody, addicted, bohemian and at least I got some sort of fragile feeling from him. Don't get me wrong, I don'ty talk about the physics, I mean the mental stage. But Watson, he's stable, taking good care, and little stiff. Actually, they are quite much equal, with different overtones in different situations. Gotta love that.

Gosh, I made Watson look like a girl xDDD

Oh well, Watson *was* the first fangirl of Holmes. I used some plenty of tv and magazine adverts as my references and there the other party is always female, so maybe that's the reason why he came out so girly.

Sherlock Holmes and dr. Watson belong to magnificent sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I'm just doing silly, silly fanart.

o god, so hot! so lovely xD and of course they are a couple, it's practically canon! If the book isn't entirley obvious about it, then that's just because at the time Doyle didn't want to get too much bad press. They are a married couple in my mind, too, and always have been.

I think that Watson would be in the submissive role, too, but they are too complex for just that. Watson is also in teh role of healer and protector and comforter. Holmes takes the lead on things, but he's very vulnerable. Only Watson knows that Holmes is just a man after all, with problems like the rest of us.

nice use of the white gel pen! It looks really good on this. And as always, such beautiful colors and details. I'm jealous of how easy and natural you made the pose, too.

ha, well if he looks girly, that mustache is enough to balance that out!
