Problems that I never thought I'd ever have:

Trying to make Martin Freeman look 'dishy'. It's MUCH harder than it sounds.

Witness the raw material:

That would be really difficult as he has such a very mobile face and I think he tends to mug for the camera.

I know!
I'm attempting to make a fanpic for a a Sherlock fic writer (she doesn't know I'm doing it - its a 'thank you' because she wrote a truly enjoyable fic) and I'm going for a specific moment in which both guys are supposed to look elegant, distant, and 'dishy'. Cumberbatch is no problem (the Cheekbones!), but Freeman is proving to be very difficult.

You might have more luck looking for awards show images or ones of him and Cumberbatch nightclubbing after said awards shows. I have vague memories of some where he did appear much more elegant.

I've found a few pics for the needed facial expression. This is going to be an illustration, not a photo manip, so if I have enough bits and pieces I can create the look I'm going for. I just don't want my drawing of him to turn out like a constipated chipmunk or something... ;)

LOL! It's prolly just me, but I kind of need to hear his dialogue to even begin to think of him as "dishy".

Also, I snerked out loud at your "constipated chipmunk" comment. XD

[blythechild]

Yeah, he's a little too 'Everyman' to be pin-up material for me, but he is a very romantic figure in this fic that I am referencing.

Life is FULL of epic challenges, no? ;)

Given the nature of some of the things I've written of late, I'd have to call that a definite YES. ;D
