Art Rec: Snowcapped Mountain

[swissmarg]

Title: Snowcapped Mountain
Artist: tillieke (dA)
Characters: Sherlock, gen
Rating: Unrated, SFW
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: He wants to rise above us like a snowcapped mountain, but he's actually a volcano. Inspired by the above Steven Moffat quote. I don't usually draw interiors because I'm not very good at them, but I like challenging myself. Referenced from 2 screenshots, drawn in PS.

Reccer's comments: What can I say? Beautiful, beautiful art. Aside from being a flawlessly executed portrait, this piece elegantly presents a deeper look at Sherlock's inner emotions. John's empty armchair, painted in the warm colors evoking home and hearth and positioned inside Sherlock's chest, could represent his heart. Or is it a dormant source of destruction, just waiting to explode?

Whoa, that is both gorgeous and haunting. You're totally right in the way it shows Sherlock's innermost thoughts. And the title goes so well with it.
