Hi :)

Well, this is the very first time I've tried this technique, using the 'oil paint' brushes in Clip Studio Paint -and I've chosen to do it with a portrait I'm quite familiar with: this photo of Oscar Wilde, in the 1890s (though Ive forgitten the exact date :/ ). As for the colors, I wasn't quite sure which direction to go, so I took inspiration from costumes in some of the movies about O.W. Voilà ! I hope it still looks a bit like him haha

HELP THIS IS SO FUNNY

Practice

“My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.”

A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

Ladies and gentlemen

After three-continents-Watson now follows

Fools in love etc

Yall were so sweet w my last post so i went 'eh sure why not indulge the husbands again' and what followed: my love for detail once again won over gerneral clarity-- sorry guys, you have to squint real hard to see anything but you have to deal w it. Also you only get one(1) table leg. Bye.

Happy pride👺🤦👂👽🤖⚛️

Like ok, his face being flushed and dark, his brows drawn and his eyes shining, that I can understand... to a point

But, how his veins stood out in his, long sinewy neck? His nostrils dilated with... animal lust? Holmes snarling!?

Watson: [exists]

Aroace Holmes who never feels incomplete without romance because he found lifelong happiness and fulfillment with his best friend.

Demisexual Holmes who has never had sex before because he’s never been attracted to anyone, so when he’s suddenly attracted to Watson he has no idea what to do with those feelings.

Gay Ace Holmes who enjoys sex with Watson simply because he enjoys the intimacy of it and likes how happy it makes his partner.

Gay Ace sex repulsed Holmes who finds his own ways to show his Watson how much he loves him and never feels obligated to force himself into a sexual relationship because he’s found a partner who respects and understands him.

As someone on the ace spectrum who read these books as a kid, it’s so important to me that so many ace kids read Sherlock Holmes and immediately see themselves in him. Ace Holmes you will always be SO famous

this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.
