an ancient commission for ~beaufille - originally something else, it was later changed to a portrait of Benedict Cumberbatch from the the BBC series, Sherlock.

i wanted to give the stain in the background an effect similar to that of luminol to make the link with the show a bit more clear. i haven't seen much of the show itself but i hope this will still be satisfactory to my commissioner and other fans of sherlock.

photo reference was used.

JEEZ! This looks amazing!! It really does capture Benedict Cumberbatch's spirit as Sherlock. Don't worry about not really knowing the character, it came out really well!!!
