This one's for :iconnero749:.

I asked her to make an Art Nouveau Sherlock for me - and she made not one but two beautiful pictures! I couldn't help but be inspired myself, so here's the result of one week's hard work...

It's done in imitation of Alphonse Mucha's posters - here's a link to the one I originally started working on: [link]
It would've made a wonderful base for a Hound of the Baskervilles poster, but then I couldn't think out the details and turned it into a Great Game one instead. I feel sort of silly having inserted smiley faces in what aspires to be an art nouveau piece. :D

(I only used reference for the face, so bits of anatomy may be not-exactly-correct...)

So beautiful work! I've always loved art nouveau and now with my new Sherlock obsession this is almost too good to look at. xD :clap:

That is quite awesome. I love the addition of the smiley faces, the spray can and little details. Very nice layout, as well. I find the fuzzy lines a bit odd, though. But, you know, awesome work. You've captured his features and expression perfectly.

...I did such a big *jawdrop* when I saw this.

Legs. Unf.

I looked like Moriarty with a look of surproise on his face.

God this is perfect.

This is gorgeous, so very Mucha-esque, and the face of the phone being the background is utterly elegant. So flawlessly done!

Thank you! :heart:

Can you believe, it never occurred to me before that the background could be seen as the face of a rotary phone (and it's not that I'm too young to recognize one) - it was just the usual decorative Mucha thingy I drew there. Good catch! :D
