BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / GimmeCat's little gifts

AO3 · **Posted by GimmeCat** June 3, 2016 8:28 am

I've done a couple of fanart things and might as well share them with you, since they haven't had much exposure elsewhere.

I'm posting these from my Tumblr, which is here if you fancy following. I don't post a lot; usually just personal things, bits of art here and there, a bit of music. But it's the first place you'll see any new Sherlocky things from me.

I'll do more, eventually. Just have so many different plates to spin, and it's so hard to get me motivated to work!

They are lovely. Thank you for sharing them.

So sweet!
I see so many ways to color the second picture! *bats at her imaginationwhile the plates are not only spinning but falling down all around due to terrible time management*

Beautiful.

Oh! I forgot this one. It was technically the first. Louise as the always-adorable Molly.

Love it.

I did a couple new pics lately. Because they are based on spoilery setlock information, I will just post a link rather than embedding the images here.

Dying for Some Chips

Of Angels and Demons

Love these!

New one today

Wow, that's gorgeous... and sad

AO3 · **Posted by GimmeCat** June 19, 2016 11:16 am

Couldn't do justice to what I pictured in my head, but yeah, very sad indeed. Thank you for the compliment!

I spent so many hours on Sherlock's face and had to eventually stop trying to get it looking right. I still don't think it looks much like him at all, but no matter what I tried, it never got closer to a likeness. So frustrating!

**Posted by Liberty** June 19, 2016 11:20 am

It might not look exactly like him, but I don't think that matters - the essence of him is there and it's undeniably Sherlock. And I think the expression and emotion is beautifully done.

If anyone has any requests, I currently have no ideas of my own and I'm eager to keep arting. Since it seems my life obsession at the moment is Sherlock, I might as well channel it into something productive.

As a challenge to myself, I'm up for anything, so go wild. Any characters, any scenes, any situation.

Could you do something Summer-themed for our Midyear Fic Exchange? I'd love to have some artworks to post between stories

Sherlock and John at the pool or beach, or a park, wearing summer clothes or not much at all
Holiday stuff, being tourists... And of course it doesn't have to be only Sherlock and John, any of the characters that you like to draw would be fine!

AO3 · **Posted by GimmeCat** June 21, 2016 2:46 am

That sounds fun! I'll play around with some ideas, although I'm immediately liking the idea of a beach scene.

**Posted by ukaunz** June 21, 2016 2:48 am

Yay! Thank you for thinking about it, I look forward to whatever you come up with

Do you think Mycroft likes building sandcastles?
