Title: When Harry Met Sally...
Artist: katzensprotte on Tumblr
Pairing: Sally Donovan/Harry Watson
Rating: PG/R
Warnings: possibly NSFW (partial nudity)
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: This palette was quite the challenge haha! Harry and Sally have been on my mind for ages so this was the perfect opportunity to draw them. I also made a progress gif, because I made so many screenshots and well these are always fun!

Reccer's comments: Color palette memes and challanges are all the rage on Tumblr, it would seem. While I don't quite understand the appeal (but I know nothing about drawing so that's not saying much) I have to say that I'm impressed by the result here. The artist managed to combine those shades of pink and green beautifully.

The artwork is really sweet, and even if she doesn't look as I'd imagined her, I really love this version of Harry Watson.

Oh, wow, I love that picture! Such great expressions & body language. I don't really get the palette craze either, but it does result in some cool experimental art like this.

Beautiful piece! Really, this is a pairing I never would have imagined, but there's something really playful and sweet and beautiful here.

I think the appeal is something along the lines of why some fic authors are drawn to write drabbles or 221b's. Having to work within that constraint pushes you to go somewhere you never would have, and the results can be quite interesting. Not just in the sense of "for just a hundred words that's quite a story" but in the sense that "what an interesting way to frame that! I'm glad I read this, and not just because it meets that goal.

Regardless of what we think about the challenge in general, I agree that that's a really stunning piece of art.

Oooh, I've been following that particular challenge, but I'd missed that one. Very sweet indeed, and a couple I hadn't come across since fandom's debuts. Thanks for the rec!
