[FANART] A Thorough Examination - What Do They Know?

[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 ^^

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 ^^

Arrow points that out! :-)
