[FANART] Red Left Hand

[sevenswells]

Got the idea from sunken_standard  's fic, The Red Right Hand, which itself took inspiration from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds' song. I know it's his *left* hand (hence the title of the fanart), it just fitted the composition better.
I'm not completely happy with it, but I do like this image I made as a preview:



Warnings and such: eeeeeeer none, I suppose. It's supposed to be a dark!Sherlock but I guess you can't really tell anyway...?

Artist: me, fandom: BBC Sherlock, character: Sherlock Holmes. Yadda, yadda.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOREVER AND EVER.

And I'm not just saying that. I love the pose and and the use of color.

YOU ARE MADE OF WIN.

Thanks dear! As I said, your fic was really inspiring; I only do fanart when the fic I've read provides me this kind of strong imagery. Plus I actually didn't know the Nick Cave song, and that too was inspiring, I had it on repeat as I was drawing -- so thank you for educating my musical tastes too! ^^
I'm really glad you like it <3 <3 <3

THAT SMILE! Oh God.
How on earth did you manage to make that smile SO dark and sexy? I can't stop looking at it.

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

Ha! Thank you, the smile in particular gave me PAIN, so I'm relieved you actually like it! Plus dark and sexy was totally what I was aiming for, so, double thanks! ^^

So, this is strangely terrifying. By which I mean ♥

w00t! Thank you, this is a huge compliment! (,,,^-^,,,)>

Wow - that is amazing! Now I have to go read the story, anything inspired by Nick Cave is good by me!

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, the story is really great, and just the right brand of dark, it's delicious! Thank you for your comment bb! ^^

J'adore ton utilisation du rouge, ça donne un côté super creepy à l'ensemble, c'est frappant o-o en tout cas j'aime beaucoup le résultat, tu dessines toujours aussi bien. (et ça m'a fait une pause sympa dans ma Philo :'D)

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

Merci beaucoup baby, et je suis contente de t'avoir un peu distraite de la Philo ^3^

Very well done, I love the red, and that smile is both scary and sexy hot. Who couldn't love something that based on a Nick Cave song, I love him.

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

Thank you, especially for qualifying the smile "scary and sexy hot" because it's really what I wanted to express! ^^ And yeah, that Nick Cave song is really cool <3 I couldn't stop listening to it as I was drawing this

Really nice Sherlock... looks really on point

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

Thank you dear! <3

Oh wow. O___O The mood of this is amazing. You always manage to capture emotion so well.

(HIS HAIR. <3)

Thank you bb for such great compliments!! (and yeah, I must admit I kind of get mini-orgasms each time I draw Sherlock's hair... it's the curls, they're irresistible! *_____*)

I first saw this when I checked my flist this morning, and I have been thinking about it all damn day. I can't get it out of my head. It is the very best kind of terrifying.

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm a little bit too happy to read such compliments. Although I can't seem to be able to draw anything else than "dark and creepy" when I draw Sherlock fanarts these days; I swear my next piece shall be SUPER FLUFF with unicorns and jelly beans and dolphins WITH WINGS.
