Description
[edit] oh dear lord I forgot to add. John's pose was directly referenced from a screenshot of Rick Grimes from TWD. Just saying. I'm paranoid when it comes to references and credits.I'm not sure if people will release a hunting party on me if I keep posting angst like this. THEN AGAIN I REGRET NOTHING BECAUSE GUISE, ZOMBIE SHERLOCK IS SO FUN TO DRAW YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
Based on Prompt #2: 'Five minutes'.
Yes, it's a Doctor Who-inspired prompt, of course, but I was also watching the Walking Dead so this happened. Don't blame me blame the Walking Dead.

This is such a crushing scene. In two panels we are overwhelmed with more emotion than many movies convey in two hours.
The first panel we see a devastated but resolute John addressing Sherlock. "I was only away for five minutes, Sherlock." What happened during those five minutes that could have John looking this weary and heartbroken? Is Sherlock dead? Injured? John's posture is erect, confident (or perhaps, like I said before, resolute), but his face, especially the eyes and eyebrows, show his devastation.
Then we go down to the next panel and see something (through John's eyes) even worse than true death- Sherlock transformed into a zombie. His gaunt figure is now twisted and falling apart- his wan skin now grey with death. His normally perfect clothes are bloodied and tattered. In short, John's worst fears realized. The mottled greys, vague shadows of zombies, and tilted angle of the background as well as the rain contribute to the atmosphere. John's bitter comment- "Five bloody minutes" and his hand and gun in the foreground fill the viewer with an impending sense of finality- we know that while John loves Sherlock (whether as a friend or something more is left for us to decide), John will ultimately make the best decision for the both of them and pull the trigger, though who knows what he'll do next. He may become embittered but even more determined to survive. He may turn the gun on himself.
This is among one of the best pieces in your gallery and one that I for one do not tire of studying.

NO I'M SO SORRY I'M SORRY.
I accidentally pressed the unfair button.

Haha, that's okay.

But I really did like this critique, it sort of made the picture better (which I didn't think was possible)
But yeah sorry.

Haha, you're welcome!

By the way, this is my first critique. I'm glad you didn't chuck it. XD

Man, I honestly have no idea how the critique system works on dA until you actually gave me one! xD So do I have to like, click 'fair' or something in order for it to be displayed underneath the deviation? That's a tad useless isn't it? I mean, if the artist is butt-hurt and clicks unfair, it won't show up, and that particular critique can't be judged by a third person...can it? o_o
Aside from that, THANK YOU FOR THE CRITIQUE (and man your writing's wonderful). It's a very accurate portrayal of my thoughts when I made it. I'm surprised you have nothing negative to say about my piece LOL //shot

I had no idea, either! I just kind of... guessed. XD I think that's what you do. I just got my first critique and clicked "fair." XD I know! Maybe the "unfair" button is for people who are absolutely horrible, mean, and bullying?
You're welcome! Haha, thank you! I was in A.P. Lit and A.P. Eng.- if I learned anything in those classes, it was how to properly critique something! XD
I probably should have said something negative, but... I'm not good at that, especially when you blow me away. XD If I were to say something negative, Watson's nose looks a bit odd to me for some reason. That's seriously the only thing I can come up with. XD

So tetrical, with a great style of drawing.
Worthy of a work of art.

I want to know the story behind this. Well, so long as it's a good ending. I have read one fic where sherlock is a zombie but he's more aware than most and even though he has trouble keeping his thoughts, has no memories and expressing himself properly...he still follows John around. For now I'm going to pretend this is a scene from that fic because it really needs a story so badly.

I can't tell if John is crying or not but, brilliant work! The art is amazing, the emotions are clear through out only 2 panels, I wouldn't be surprised if you work for a big name comic industry or something like one!

This is quite awesome. Β I have read a fanfic that fits this actually and it wasn't sad!!! I wish Β I remembered what it was called, maybe I'll hunt it down -- if I do I'll come back and note it. Β It was on AO3 and in it Sherlock was actually in disguise-- as he does in the stories so brilliantly... : ) Β Of course as he's sort of a knucklehead sometimes he almost gets shot because he doesn't TELL John he's NOT DEAD until he' s nearly made that way BY JOHN lol... but he wouldn't be Sherlock if he wasn't a bit oblivious about some things eh? Β : ) Β LOVE THIS. Β You are very talented!!

This is so emotional and heart-breaking. It's so true too, that's a famous line of Watson's. The way he points his gun at his best friend and only true friend, the person that he loves the most, who he's been inseparable with, now he has to turn on and shoot him. The person he trusted with his very life, who promised he'd never leave him and always be there to protect him has now turned on him. The guilt and betrayal John must be feeling.
The only thing that doesn't make sense is that it takes more than five minutes for someone to be bitten and turn (in The Walking Dead one man was sick for several days, until he just asked them to leave him on the side of road.) My thoughts are that Sherlock had been bitten and was sick and dying, but Watson being the loyal friend and doctor he was, helped care for him because he didn't have the heart to kill Sherlock even though he knew their was no hope for him. Then he left for a few minutes for more supplies or something, and by the time he came back Sherlock had already turned.

Thanks for the comment! Haha, to be honest, the rules for zombification aren't dogma, it's only fiction after all, so there can be a lot of interpretations for it. In fact I've read several published novels that describe a person turning within 5 minutes!
