Oh that's lovely, so decadent! I love the colours you used in the background, it reminds me of those louche old Victorian theatres. And the William Morris-esque wallpaper design, and the border that's very Victorian in its colours. Lovely composition of the figures, too, with Benedict's robe having that brightness to it that makes the picture really pop. I think Jeremy is my favourite here - you really nailed his expression with that lifted eyebrow! I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager LOL (randomly, one of the bosses at work wrote a controversial biography of Jeremy Brett).

Great work, and I agree with the other person who said this is your best work to date. The background and placement of the figures against it really does it for me. Fantastic.

Thank you so much, I'm happy with this and it's a rare thing, I'm glad you kind of get past my own 'stop' that I should only use a few patterns and colors, it is a beast to get the foreground and background to work together so the image does not look like an animation cell.

Seimei Hiromasa soon, I hope! I was inspired to do a pic with a fan because of your story.

PS - that IS a William Morris wallpaper! You have a good eye. ;D

I crushes bad on both my Sherlocks.

Haha I once had a summer job at school packing notebooks with William Morris designs on them, his work is seared into my brain!

Looking forward to your Seimei and Hiromasa pic ^^

why did Mansai's new drama get delayed?

[glitterburn.livejournal.com]

There's a scene in the film where Hideyoshi's troops dam all the rivers in the marshland where Mansai's castle stands, and they smash the dams at the same time and a great rush of water sweeps away people, livestock, buildings etc. Understandably this is far too close to what happened with the tsunami so they decided to delay the film until it's less painful for viewers.

Oh, perfectly understandable. I don't think I'm ever going to get those traumatic images out of my head.
