The Game is Afoot

Description

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'


--King Henry V, Act 3, Scene I

Not much to say about this one, really, beside the fact that it took me a hell of a long time to finish.

Reference I used for Watson and Holmes were two different shots--I just put them together--which was a problem since the light sources were slightly different in each photo. But I tried to compromise. If you see any lighting that's a bit off, chances are that it's a section I've guessed.

Brownie points to the first person to guess which scenes I've taken the poses from. Holmes is obvious :XD:

This is also going into Egil21's Traditional Art Portraits contest.
