Description
Oh, I don't even know.Actually, I did this for my sister, who just finished a book with a surprise shitty ending, and she needed some cheering up. And really, nothing puts a smile on yer face like tiny hedgehog John Watson. Shercat Holmes is easily bored, and is very excited about potential new cases. He's so excited he might decide to tear around the house, bouncing from wall to wall and knocking over all of John's plants in the process! John will just grumble and curl into a spiny little ball until Sherlock's crazies have concluded.

I would have never thought of them like this, but seeing this pic made me go, "Why didn't I think of this sooner?" That's how perfect it is.

The hedgehog/cat idea was not mine, but I had a ton of fun with it. It's been going around the Sherlock fandom. It's perfect!

...As if I needed more reasons to love you, ma'am.
This...this is just, just beyond words with how utterly charming it is. I wanna have little plush dolls of these two and have them have tea parties and go on adventures and solve mysterious - probably with some Barbies looking on. Or Sheriff Woody
Shercat *would* be an utter spaz - he'd run through the house with a roll of toilet paper because he's doing an *experiment*, John, that's why, now shush. And John would just grunt and burrow into some little corner to escape the shenanigans.
Also, "Little Green Bag" with Sherlock? UUUGH, be still my heart. Someone needs to make a fanvid with it right this minute.

Okay, I am SO happy that you love "Little Green Bag"! That's one of those surefire dancing songs, to me, and perfect for shenanigans. Also: SHENANIGANS.
John being a hedgehog and Sherlock being a cat is a long-running thing in the Sherlock fandom. I don't know why or where it started, but I love it so much, and it makes Kit immeasurably happy. Ha! I love to imagine Sherlock batting a toilet paper roll around with the crazy cat eyes. My kitten loves empty toilet paper tubes. And shoelaces. And bugs. Actually, my husband used to have a hedgehog who also enjoyed snacking on wild house bugs. And now I'm imagining them setting the breakfast table with a bowl of junebugs. Oh man.

Good lord, this is going to kill me. I can't stop looking at it and it twists my stomach with its cuteness. This is simply TOO ADORABLE TO HANDLE.

I would pay cash money to read a full Hedgeson and Shercat comic. Can you picture them running down an alley? Watson tiny little feet going a mile a minute! XD *SCREAMS*

Will you please think about illustrating children's books? This is too sweet.

It's been in my mind since I was a kid, that some day I wanted to do a children's book. I collect them, I'm not sure if I told you already. They mean so much to me, and someday I hope to contribute!

Do you have any of the Trina Schart Hyman fairytale picture books? Her illustrations are GORGEOUS.

Oh my goodness, I'm not sure I can handle the cute. This made me so happy!

Beyond the awesomeness that this is, I continue to marvel at your illustrative skills. I only needed to see the thumbnail to know whom was being portrayed (the larger picture, of course, does the work its full justice). Brava!

I would think the trademark striped pullover and plum shirt would have given them away. ;D

I have not even seen this, only the various fan-inspired works it spawned, but I just love Hedgy Watson.

It's a darn good show. And I know! Hedgehog Watson is everywhere and I love him.

I always saw Holmes as a ferret in my head, but cat totally works too, and I love Hedgehog Watson. I'm not watching any of the newer shows right now, but this still works for me.

Now that I think about it, Holmes would have to be a fox. It's so appropriate. But that's book-Holmes, to me. If Benedict Cumberbatch were an animal, surely he's be a panther or something, if not a slim, dismissive housecat.

...this strangely suits these two...I have no idea why. Watson as a hedgehog beyond adorable. Now I want one and name him Watson.

The cat/hedgehog idea is a long-running theme in the Sherlock fandom, I don't know why. But it's so perfect, right?

HAHAHAHAHAHA...I'm working on a shitty illustration that is making me tear my hair out and this cheered ME up too.

Well, I am delighted to hear that it cheered you! I hope your illustration goes more smoothly!

I think it's going to kill me. If you come 'round tomorrow you will find me a grave man. Lady. Whatev.

Not sure the exact source, but it's all over Tumblr. (Dirty Dirty Hedgehog being among the best of 'em!)

This is adorable! It has the right balance of simplicity and detail, the animals you chose are perfect, the "hair"styles are perfect, their expressions are amazing, and (as random as it is) I love the color palate you used.

Ha ha! I was like, How the heck am I going to convey John's trim little hairdo with hedgehog spikes?
