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

fjdlsjfal I loved this scene in the movie, thought it was a pretty good spin off of the original story! I'm so eager to see BBC Sherlock's interpretation of The Final Problem too. Oh, and there needs to be more Reichenbach art out there.

God, yes, I can't wait for the BBC version. Why, oh Why have I left England the second time now when the Sherlock Series is being aired?!? D: Hope to see it a week later. >.<

haha! I live in the US so I would have to wait for May for PBS to air their cut-up late versions but I'm determined to find the full episodes online before then.

I just saw the movie, and this was one of my favourite scenes. I approve the more traditional looking Holmes, too. Also, I love that you drew him as such because you felt that you saw Holmes in that moment.

One of your faves? What were the others?? :3
And thaaanks, I wanted to draw Holmes and not an actor. So I went for my head version of Holmes. ^^

There were surprisingly many little moments that I liked. c: The dance scene was one of the most precious ones, though.

xD Yeah, that was sweet. I was wondering though why no one turned his/her head...

Ooooh, this looks amazing! Definitely one of my favorite moments in the film as well and one that I nearly cried in . I think you captured the moment perfectly! And I love the way parts of it look blurred to give it a sense of motion. And I think I personally like it better with a more traditional looking Holmes. I like RDJ, don't get me wrong, and I think he did a great job as Holmes...but I think I like this one better I guess cuz that's how I pictured him in the books

Thanks so much!
Oh, exactly the way I think. I accept that people like RDJ as Holmes but I personally prefer him more ... uhm... Sidney Paget looking. This was a scene wwhere I managed to forget the actor behind Holmes so for this picture I drew him the way I think he might look. (More or less successful...)

Haven't seen the film yet (dammit! xD), but I adore this piece. It's Holmes' expression that makes the whole scene.
Now I'll think of you when I go watch it XD

xD I can't remember that show. I watched the first episode a while ago because I was ... interested but... it is not going to be my favourite TV show. xD Haha. I liked that Batman and Sherlock meet. In... some Batman episode...

You created such a beautiful effect with the water droplets. And his face . . .

Thanks a lot!
I had trouble finding reference for those waterdrops (or at least did not go further that a simple Google image search) so even though they're probably not all to correct I think they turned out very well, actually. *selfpraise* xD

oh man, I was going to draw this scene as well, but yours is so much more beautiful than mine would be XD. Amazingly well done!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never! I don't believe you. Please draw this, too, I cannot possibly adore my own artwork as much as I could yours...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lmao! I still might :3, but it would be more of a RDJ Holmes so I guess it'll be a little different
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's no problem at all. xD That I don't particularly love Downey!Holmes doesn't mean I cannot appreciate a great piece of Holmes artwork! :3 Please let me know when you're done!

I shall! Thank~you for inspiring me to do it!!!

I cried in that moment.
And then people saw the real fangirl I was hiding away
Beautiful artwork; I love the waterdrops and your choice of having a canon!Holmes was a great decision (:

I was nearly about to cry. Such a great moment. Best moment of the film.
Canon!Holmes was unavoidable. I still don't like Downey!Holmes that much... ^^"
Thanks a lot for your comment. :3
