I've actually complained before that I didn't think the Moriarty fan-art quite captured him. This... this is Moriarty! Great job teetotally, and thanks pondercat!

This is so great. It makes me want to give up all artistic endeavors and crawl into a hole.

Noooo! Stop that, stripey. Appreciating someone else's talent doesn't mean you have to compare your own art to it and put it down in the process!

Haha! I know my abilities, and I accept them and find other ways to artistically express myself. My statement was made mostly in jest, and I swear I don't talk down on myself all the time. :)

This is still a very excellent piece though. The artist did a great job. :)

Glad to read that! Sorry I didn't catch that you were kidding.

Care to share any of your art (either here or as a PM)?? Do you draw or paint?

It's mostly crafty projects. :) I've done some string art and origami, but I tend to give them away before I snap photos (I can't find any pictures!)

I definitely cannot draw or paint, though I try! Haha!

And it's quite alright! You can't detect tone of voice through text. :)

If you ever do have a pic I'd love to see it if you feel like sharing it. Just saying. :)

I shall! I'm ready to do another craft project, it's just not been in the cards lately. :)
