SQUEEE!! This is stinking cute. I normally don't like AUs... until Sherlock came around. What is it about this fandom that hits all my feels even in so many permutations? Christ, I even get misty over Tunalock XD

Is that Anderson with the dinosaur?! He should be required to sleep facing away from everyone else ;p

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way. I was really not a fan of AUs in the HP fandom, but I adore them in Sherlock. It might be because Sherlock is so present day/shared reality and it's fun to mess with that. I also have a real soft spot for OctoJohn.

Yes, that's wee Anderson with the dinosaur. And you're absolutely right. I didn't even think of how Anderson's face is probably keeping Sherlock from falling asleep.

The poor thing! Anderson would be the essential kindergarten punching bag... and I bet he was one hell of a tattletale XD

Ah OctoJohn... it's nice to have a tentacle monster that, you know, cares if you're enjoying the experience. And makes you tea and biscuits afterwards.

OMG adorable.

I just want to draw cute shit! How are you doing? I have been a terrible friend but I think of you every time I see a photo of Tom Hiddleston.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You are not a terrible friend, although I do miss you heaps and heaps.

Pinning my hopes and dreams on 221B con. And Hiddleston dancing and singing in Korea gave me life. He's adorable. I don't fantasize about him like I do Cumberbatch, but his presence in the world makes me happy.

OH GOD THAT IS BEYOND ADORABLE. I can see it as a giant oil painting in someone's nursery (or living room!). I reserve special love for Mycroft's Union Jack pillow and John's cable knit jumper but it's all lovely. I don't usually spend a lot of time looking at art, but the brilliant details of this demanded more appreciating *g*

Oh my gosh, the thought of this being on the wall of a nursery fills me with such giddy glee. Coloring this took a while as I tried to figure out iconic and representative colors and designs that would look good against orange! Thank you for appreciating this.

Cute as kittens!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Eee. A high compliment indeed as kittens are adorable.

I seriously love this piece. It's very sweet and hopeful. You've captured the positions of little babies perfectly. I also love their tiny little hands and cozy PJ's. So well done!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Sweet and hopeful. These are wonderful words. I spent a lot of time looking at sleeping babies, which was a lot of fun.

Awwww!

Na'aw! Sleepy kiddies! And of course Sherlock and John are sharing a pillow. :) I love the colour usage.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I couldn't help but put their heads on the same pillow. The colors were lots of fun in this one - it was all about the orange.

ADORABLE!!! I love how Mrs Hudson is dressed in a nightdress more like she would have worn as toddler. And Molly's cherry pj's! I wouldn't envy the Nanny who has to look after them all though!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was thinking also how it fit with her line in the show 'I'm in my nighty!' too.

Oh gosh, there's no way one nanny could look after this entire troop!

[pythia-delphi.livejournal.com]

This is adorable. I love the little details that make each character unique, esp. Sally and her badge, Mrs Hudson's nightie and Molly's pyjamas. Also, Moriarty being under the bedsheet while everyone else is upon it is a great touch!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Yes, Sally and her badge was one of my favorite things to draw. Also, little Jim trying to come between John and Sherlock.

How are you? I enjoyed listening to you on the Race Roundtable in Episode 10 of the podcast! Thank you Thank you for taking part. That roundtable has elicited some very positive feedback from people.
