[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 ^^

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
