Description
People who saw Sherlock Holmes - A Game Of Shadows will know this scene.Even though I used a more traditional looking Holmes, instead of the Downey! one.
SPOILERHolmes is injured and would not have won a fight against Moriarty, so he choose to throw himself into the abyss, holding tight to Moriarty and taking him with him. I am not sure how high he he thought the chances would be that he's survive the fall itself but just in case he did, a little special device will safe his live after all.
This is the only scene of both films in which I managed to see Holmes. No actor. I know that in the book he isn't injured and therefore doesn't have to make such a decision, but I am convinced he would have done the same if it had been the situation as in this film.
I was waiting for someone else to do an amazing fanart of this scene that I can adore... but I ... wanted to give it a try, too. I would still love to see someone else draw this, I would love it to bits!
Sherlock Holmes (c) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Well done!

Thank youuuu. :3 It was such a good scene I can't believe no one else drew it. D:

Probably because it's difficult to draw (at least I imagine it to be.) ^^

This just might be my favourite picture of the whole SH fandom

What a jaw-dropping piece. Β It conveys in a mere image all you need to know about Holmes and his mission to end the malicious crimes of the formidable Professor James Moriarty. Β As Holmes states in The Final Problem, he is more than willing to die if it means Moriarty goes down with him and his tyranny upon London ends. Β The expression you have created for Holmes expertly transmits this idea in a lucid and powerful manner. Β Holmes, his eyes closed and lips relaxed is dedicated to this end, and is comfortable with entering death's cold embrace if it means that the Professor is coming with him to Death's door. Β Everything from this artwork's composition and mood (set with exceptionally created rain drops) are spot on and vehemently powerful to take in. Β In layman's terms, well done! Β

Thank you very very much. :3
As much as I actually am not very fond of RDJ's Holmes, just because of this scene, I would even recommend trying to watch the film. xD Exactly what you just said, was what sticked with me after the film and made me reproduce this fanart of the scene.

I enjoy the films, though his Holmes has his bad moments. Β I think Game of Shadows captured the relationship of Holmes and Watson fantastically, as well as Sherlock's separation anxiety, and I especially enjoyed their take on Moriarty, played brilliantly by Jared Harris.

wow... what you did here is amazing! This was my favorite scene in the whole movie - for the first time RDJ's Holmes seemed almost canon. It was wonderful! I think this might be the best Riechenbach drawing I have ever seen! Bravo, my dear, you have done beautifully!

Thanks so much!
You have spoken my mind! That is exactly why I loved the scene there so much, that I had to redraw it with my own canon Holmes. I am glad you like it so much.

Yeah, it was a great moment.

I always loved that scene! It was one of my favourite parts actually. Even if it didn't happen that way in the books, it was a very realistic portrayal of what Sherlock might have done if the situation was different. I loved how, even with Moriarty struggling a screaming the whole way down, Sherock just let go and fell with an almost serene look on his face. I think you captured the serenitly perfectly.

Aww thanks so much. You spoke my thoughts exactly.

Brilliant. This is Holmes how he should be.

Hey, can I reblog your image (with all the correct credit of course) on my blog? [link] It's pretty new so there's nothing on it yet.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess you can, yeah. 
Since we all have more Holmes art in our galleries (the other artists I saw you posting pictures of) wouldn't it be nice to provide links for the people visiting your blog?
π: 0 β©: 1
[link] It's up! I went back and added a link to the other pieces that were up as well. They did already have a link in them (if you clicked the image you'd go to their page) but I guess it wasn't very obvious.

Cool. Awesome, that's great.

I love that the water droplets are so very real! It's like peering into traditional!Holmes' world!

Thanks! They were the hardest to do, next to the blur. :3

This will be the most well done interpretation of Reichenbach Falls. It wasn't accurate, but it was beautiful with it's setup, music, lighting, and whole idea.
π: 0 β©: 1
True. But compared to the rest of the film it was the best and most Holmesy scene of all. ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. Definitely was.

Thank you for choosing the traditional (Brett?) version rather than Downey. XD I must confess, that's the one I normally imagine, hence the bias.
And it's awesome!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! xD
I did not particularly think of Brett but ... yes, I certainly has influenced Holmes' image in my head. I just looks so very much like him.
π: 0 β©: 0
hm, this movie seems pretty epic. You're gradually making me want to see it...
Lovely representation of Holmes. I'm glad you went accurate route, I can never quite believe a short scruffy Holmes XD great background, too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I am not sure if you should go and see it if you haven't seen the first one but... if you have you can imagine what awaits you and then I think I can recommend watching the film.
Yeah, the short scruffy Holmes is forgotten though in this scene and even though it is just a minute or so, this totally makes up for the rest of the film.

i'll watch them in order, when i eventually get to them. i think i'll need to let my passion for the fandom die down a bit first so the problems don't bother me too much
okay, i'll take your word for it
π: 0 β©: 1
xD Yeah, that's a good idea.

Do you know where to find the picture for this scene, since I saw the movie I have been trying to but I can't find it. And I really want to use it as a reference because I loved this scene along with the entire movie.
π: 0 β©: 1
No. :/ I have no idea. I would have loved to have on myself. I guess sooner or later someone will post it somewhere.

I loved this bit so much. It's very hard for me to see Holmes and not Robert Downey Jr with messy (normal?) hair, but this moment had that. I kept waiting for him to smile, but of course he wouldn't... as much as it would have been very touching, Holmes would not have smiled nor frowned nor shown any sign of it 'touching' him.
You got the colour pallette perfectly, I recognised it easily from the thumbnail. You captured his calm wonderfully.
π: 0 β©: 1
My words exactly! :3 This was the only moment were I forgot all about Downey Jr. which is the reason why it had to be drawn!
Thanks but I am sure that when I can put the BD in my PC and stop that scene the colours are ... different. xD A lot.

I love how he keeps his eyes closed, so that the last thing he would have seen was Watson.
π: 0 β©: 1
Whether that is the one and only reason I don't know... but it certainly is a good reason.
