Another bit of constructive criticism (I really hope you don't mind—it just bothers me):

A little less mascara/eyebrow makeup, perhaps? Unless you're intentionally going for fem!Holmes (which you might be, and that's an awesome idea). For a shot like this, it frames and emphasises your eyelashes, and long eyelashes are generally considered feminine. Also perhaps a bit of dark eyeliner for stubble on your jawline? RDJ!Holmes is generally not clean-shaven, as far as I remember.

I'll stop harping on you guys, I'm sorry. I myself am a cosplayer—crossplayer, which means I'm a girl who plays guy characters—so I know how difficult it is to get things like eyelashes and jawlines and hands to behave and look masculine (my own face is quite feminine, which results in incredibly derpy pictures, especially in profile). I understand that you're probably trying your hardest to make it work and make yourself look like Holmes or like Watson. You succeed, definitely—you're very recognisable as the characters! Your photo-editing skills are also very impressive—I like the sort of patina overlay you've got going on here. But—as it is—your femininity is quite obvious. :devpyroluminescense: has a really fantastic tutorial on how to act like a guy, which can be found here: [link] I'd recommend checking it out—I found it extremely helpful.

(If I've offended anyone, I sincerely apologise.)
