LOVE the peacock feather background! The phoenix is stunning.

Thank you! He is as proud as a peacock! ;D

As always, all the incarnations of this piece are lovely, though I find myself preferring the dragon version. Was it your intention for the Phoenix to blend with the peacock background and look as if it were bleeding over onto Sherlock?

With the dragon image I had used more dragons in the texture, and I've wanted to use that peacock background for awhile, so it's okay to me that they merge together a bit.

Ooh, lovely! Both versions are stunning!

Thanks!

Oh I think I like this version better. Stunning, just stunning. The tattoo alone is just exquisitely done. And the sly implications of the artwork are just so teasingly pleasing...

Thank you! I like them both, and now onto version three! ;D

SQUEAL! I love this one even more than the Red Dragon!!! I love how the tattoo and the background blend together :)

Thanks for putting this up in your store already!!

words can't convey my admiration, nor towels mop up the drool. more riveting than a phoenix, and hotter than dragon's breath. and i'm not even that into the model.

ah that strategic hand. in the dragon image, the dragon's grasp at the curve of his waist. and the colors...

Thank you! I'm glad you like them, and getting back to Gackt Kenshin soon. ;)

To be honest I thought this wouldn't work as well with Sherlock as it did with Benedict, but I love it! I love your choice of colours, they're very in-character (if that makes sense) and I swear, this one just seems more...decadent somehow. Sorry, I'm rubbish at proper feedback about art; it's more of a reaction, and in this case it's like "Mmmm..."*eyebrows wriggle* :)

Thank you, it was fun doing three versions. :D
