One thing I knew as soon as I read the description of House in the dress was that I wanted to show House's back. We needed to see his masculinity!

What I originally wanted to do was have the moment where Wilson is dragging House to the bathroom by the wrist, because Wilson being dominant in that sort of aggressive physical way is something we never see. But that compounded the complications on an already complicated concept so I'm happy to hear that you liked the perspective of it. I was worried that it would be a bit boring!

And wow this was a challenge! I knew I was setting myself up for something by choosing a House/Wilson story. I hoped that working through this art would help me break down some more of those mental barriers for me in terms of them as a slash pairing and it did! So thanks for that. :)

I'm so happy to hear that you, as one of the writers, loved this piece. ♥

Gwaaahhhh, you drew the banshee scene! I mentioned to oldblue that I was very excited to have the two of you--two of the most vivid and wonderful artists around fandom--jumping on board to illustrate my insanity, and I'm so glad you picked such a specific and intense scene. And I love it!

And now I'm very curious as to how you made it, because it's colored pencil, but looking at House's hair and his sleeve, I'm seeing what I think are scratch marks--like a scratchboard? So I'm guessing you must have done some seriously heavy scrubbing with the pencils, and it's absolutely gorgeous. It looks like paint--or like resin, almost. Like wax, and the colors and mood really shine with that kind of look. Eeeeee, awesomesauce

The banshee scene was the first thing that jumped out at me as something to illustrate. I had two different ideas, one where we see House's whole body lying prone in agony and this one, where we get to see more detail. This is also one of the many moments where I could really see it in my head and hoped that I could capture exactly what I saw as I read it. Details, I love details

Its been a while since I've used it, so I really had to teach myself everything all over again! Now that the stress of the deadline of these projects are over, I want to do more!
