sevenswells: (Sherlock guuuuuuh)
[personal profile] sevenswells
So as I promised on this pimp post, here's my A Thorough Examination fanart. I really love this particular scene and almost choked from the intensity when I was reading it. I thought it would be interesting to draw it it because the drawing wouldn't represent what's truly happening in the scene and I revel in ambiguity and contradiction XD

The title comes from "What Do They Know?" a song by Mindless Self Indulgence that I thought would be fitting; here's the song on Deezer, and here are the lyrics (it seems I can't find the proper lyrics anywhere on the internet, there are like six or seven different versions, so I picked the one that's the most likely). Since my Sherlock fanvid with "Bring The Pain", I just love mixing Sherlock and MSI, I think they often complement each other well :D

Fandom: BBC Sherlock (what a surprise!) Pairing: Sherlock/John

Warnings: nudity, some implied violence, John tied up, so I'd say it's Not Safe For Work. Rating: R.

Comments are, of course, always welcome; I put a lot of love into this ^^

I'd recognize that lovely arse anywhere. :) Wonderful job (on the whole artwork, not just the arse)!

Oh_my_GAWD!

*blushes* Thank you! I'm really glad it made an impression as strong as the fic, it's a huge compliment! <3

This is stunning! The tension is palpable, and John's expression is so right. Also, and I know I'm probably alone in this, but I love backs - the lines, the muscles, the shoulder blades - and Sherlock's back here is so so pretty.♥

TRUST ME, YOU'RE NOT ALONE, SISTER! °0°// Give us a big hug! I just loooooove backs! Everybody else around me is all about chests and abs, but BACKS, I loves me a beautiful back (and yeah, also people generally prefer hands and I prefer feet -- but I swear it's not because I think I'm such a rebel, I really prefer backs and feet)! Thank you so much for this comment, I really, really wanted to draw this one back well.
This time again, it's all your fault. If I remember well it's you who posted that entry on Why They're Hot (which was brilliant, btw), and since then I've been thinking of carrying this image of Benedict's arse in my wallet http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz344/wildejoy/BenedictsarseforWHH.png It's just out of a very misplaced sense of propriety that I don't, but believe me, I'm refraining myself very hard.

I have a definite thing for hands, too (long fingers especially), but feet don't gross me out or anything. I'm pretty sure enough hot fic could convert me - goodness knows it has done in the past! XD

And that was me, yeah. ^^ Thank you! And believe me, bb, I totally understand. I'm not even an arse kind of girl, but Benedict's is impossible to ignore.

And I love this artwork.
It's gorgeous and makes my heart drop all the same.

Oh, thank you!! I'm really glad that the homage to this wonderful fic is worthy in the end! ^^

Visiting the inlaws, and am I ever glad they went out for the morning! XD XD XD

That is gorgeous, and the tension is wonderful, yes! John's expression is great, and nice to see someone's noticed that for someone so thin, our boy Sherlock has got an ass on him! And I love the details like the backs of his knees, and the anatomical chart in the background.

When we get home, I'm going to have to re-read the whole thing and look at this again. Poor me. XD

Thank you for this detailed comment -- I'm so glad I managed to draw his ass well, indeed, when Benedict's naked it's really a sight, ain' it. I really hope will have some nekkid Sherlock timez next season :D I've re-read the fic too, and second reading was as fantastic as the first -- I hope you enjoyed re-reading it too ^^

And thanks for remarking the anatomical chart too, it has a symbolic meaning indeed ^^

Oh god there needs to be a story to go with this. There needs to be! This is exciting.

Oh there is. But I haven't read it.

Oh god but you do lovely art, Seven. You get the anatomy of Sherlock's backside just right, and John's face. Even the medical chart in the back.

Thank you dear!! I paid special attention to this drawing because this scene made such a huge impression on me, I really wanted to convey the same strong feelings. I hope you'll read the fic (I've recced it just about everywhere on this journal), because it's a truly great read! =D

Very well drawn back and ass. I also like the palpable tension I feel looking at this "what's gonna happen?" is totally the vibe. It's really good.

Hi, I wrote that story that you have done this beautiful art from, and thank you! It is so lovely! The preliminary sketch was awesome enough, but I love seeing it fleshed out as well, and the anatomy poster! Although really it is a miracle that I can stop staring at Sherlock's back (and ass) long enough to see anything else. It is truly amazing.

You. Are. Amazing.

My favorite line was "he didn't think twice. he didn't even think once."

I found that hilarious and of course very hot at the same time. I love that maniac aside, somehow John is still in character the whole time.

You make me want to write and hide my writing in a corner all at the same time. Lordy. You should make a proper post of the story so I can properly comment-worship you.

Thanks so much! I'm really, really happy you enjoyed the story. :D I do mean to post it but it needs so much editing first, blah. Editing = DOOM.

Thank you so much for commenting here and de-anoning; now my hero has a name! *0* No, seriously, that fic was 80 different kinds of perfect, and ever since I've read it I've kept annoying people around me babbling on and on about it. There are so many different layers of psychology in this fic, all of them perfectly tuned and in harmony with the characters, it's impressive! I absolutely love this kind of writing, that dabbles with the darkest parts of the human conscious, beyond good and evil; also, you've managed to make the characters walk a tight rope right between normality and insanity, all along -- it was utterly fascinating, in many ways. It's really one of the best pieces I've ever read -- and this scene that I chose to represent, it's sheer genius. I was blown away. There are just no words -- only that I'd really like to friend you. May I? <3

Thank you! :D :D It kind of ran away with me I guess. I normally write far far more slowly lol. There's just something about Sherlock Holmes in general and this version of him and John in particular that I find so very interesting. And full of potential and not just for porn.

only that I'd really like to friend you. May I?

Of course! That would be awesome and I shall friend you back. :D

Your art directed me to the fic and I thank thee muchly! Your art compliments the fic so well! You definitely captured the most intense scene of the fic. Thank you for the art and the fic rec.

This is amazing! I completely agree with everything said above. XD one thing, though-can you post a link to the fic? I lost it and am having trouble finding it again. :(
