Just one picture today.


I've been experimenting with coloring styles and this was one of the results. It was a hell of a lot of work, but I really like the results. :)



Also, since some of you wanted to know if I'd be doing any Holmes art, I just posted an entry at cox_and_co, or you can see it in my gallery here

Awww. I love Bertie perched up there gazing at Jeeves, and his skinny legs are so cute. XD The colouring is very nice!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm really glad you like the coloring. :D It was difficult and frustrating, but so satisfying.

[jameta4all.livejournal.com]

Oooh stunning. I can picture the scenario...
Bertie: I say Jeeves, you know you're quite um... well I want to say that...
Jeeves: Yes, sir?
Bertie *faint*

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Quite so. ;D Thank you!

[charie-caphine.livejournal.com]

Particular love goes to Bertie's face, especially his nose, and the floor, for some reason. And their hands.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The floor is actually my favorite part, so I'm very happy you like it, too.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

I just love this! You did a fantastic job with the color and your skill with different styles never fails to impress.

Also, *SQUEE*. :-) Just. So. Cute.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[amphitritie.livejournal.com]

This'll seem rather odd thing to say, considering the focus is Jeeves and Bertie, but the folds in Bertie's sweater are hypnotizing. You did a lovely job overall! I love the colour scheme.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Not odd at all - I fixate on little things like that when I look at others' art, too. I love when people notice those details in mine. Thank you!

Beautiful as always. Color is absolutley lovely; Bertie looks so cute and gangley<3

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[waqaychay.livejournal.com]

that is amazing. it has an almost 3-D quality to it. beautiful!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Hmm...*looks again* It does, kind of, doesn't it? I'm so glad I left out half the border & went with the dark background. It probably wouldn't have looked nearly as dimensional if I'd gone a more usual route. Thank you!

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

I like this very much. It retains your style, but the color adds a deeper dimension to it. Very well done.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

It was a major pain to color, but so worth it. I'll definitely be using this more painterly coloring style more often. Thank you!

[random-nexus.livejournal.com]

Oh, my gosh, I love the craptarts out of you!!! *squees till the windows crack*

Your Bertie & Jeeves are lovely, as usual, of course

But you read my mind before I even had the thought! Your Holmes & Watson are BEAUTIFUL! Oh, I'm just in raptures!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

*sweeps up the glass*

Thank you! I'm glad you like them all!

[katelynna10000.livejournal.com]

oh you r art...so beautiful...it invokes my jealousy much!

but mostly- FINALLY THE HOLMES SLASH COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!! I could never find it- thank you ever so much for leading me to it!! ^_^ *glomp*

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yay for you finally finding cox_and_co! :D

[sige-vic.livejournal.com]

They are both so gorgeous!
And what is Jeeves cooking, if it's not a secret? :-)

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I don't know what he's making...probably whisking eggs for an omelet or something like that?

[hazeltea.livejournal.com]

Lovely, as usual! I have to say that I prefer the usual light colors for Wodehouse, but for Holmes, this is A++++!
I love how Jeeves is so noble and domestic at once. He is just perfect, really <3

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D I generally prefer lighter coloring for it, too, but I wanted to try coloring with more depth, and then I had to add the dark background (which was originally a light grey) to make the whites stand out better.

[tawg.livejournal.com]

I want to comment on your Jeeves and Bertie pic, but I'm just so envious of your grasp of perspective. I keep staring at the way his thighs sit on the table, and going green.

Also, your Holmes and Watson pictures are divine.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked this and the H/W.

[feanix.livejournal.com]

Yet what a picture it is :)

Bertie hanging out in Jeeves' domain.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Yep. That's where all the food is, after all. And the hot manservant. XD

Thank you!

[emeraldreeve.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I love the colours. I love how they are looking at each other. Really wonderful!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[toodlepipsigner.livejournal.com]

LOVE. LEE.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[lady529.livejournal.com]

I'm in love with Bertie's skinny ankles, you got his legs and feet spot on! And the shoes too!

Also, black and white chequered floor? Marry me, please! Not in a scary, Honoria Glossop way btw.

The Lady 529

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you think so, as legs in that position at that level are one of my biggest trouble spots. They turned out much better than usual here.

I looove black & white checkered floors, so I just had to add one. *accepts your proposal but not in a soppy, Madeline Bassett way*

[niektete.livejournal.com]

Oh, good Lord! I just can't get over how much I love your style! Your Sherlock and Watson are smoulderingly beautiful, too! ^^

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[muuskanuikkunen.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous! I really like the atmosphere and Bertie's pose ^^ What program you used for coloring, if I may ask?

...You did H/W art!? My life is complete! *runs to gallery*

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I used GIMP. I have Photoshop, but for some reason it won't open any more. :(

[chibi-wolvie.livejournal.com]

Amazing, especally the coloring... love ^^

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

Drop-dead gorgeous, as usual. *sighs dreamily*

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

You've really got the sheen on the tile floor and Jeeves' back down.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Is it weird of me to be really happy that you think that about the sheen on Jeeves's back? Because that part is always hard for me, for some reason. I'm never sure where the shiny back of his waistcoat is supposed to reflect light in a given scene.
