nindevotee - I love how the picture tells a story all of its own. Stabler's ranting, Keller seemingly in fight-or-flight mode, and Kathy's concerned look at Keller tell us everything we need to know about the characters.
ozsaur & trillingstar - Amazing work. You've done a wonderful job capturing this moment and Kathy's thought process as she views it. I'd imagine that being married to a cop gives her a bit of a "strength within devastation" persona to fall into during crisis moments and she manages to fall into that here as well. Beautifully done!
I imagine Chris having an amused look on his face, which just infuriates Elliot all the more. I'm glad you liked the graphic--I absolutely love your drabbles, not just the one for this graphic. It's cool that you drabbled everyone. :) Awesome job all the way around!
Oh, thank you. I love that you mention that Kathy's show of strength felt right, here. We both found something intense in nindevotee's graphic and wanted to capture that.
cmk418 I love how Chris' mere presence keeps Elliot awake at night trying to figure out what his angle is. You know that Chris knows exactly what Kathy is thinking and that he's getting off (heh) on throwing a kink into hers and El's normal routine. I can just see Chris arriving out of the blue (on a Harley) unannounced and uninvited with that devlish grin of his. Great job!
Thanks! I'm really glad this worked for you. And I like your idea of Chris just showing up uninvited - he takes real pleasure in being a shit-disturber.
YAY! Thank you! I'm so glad that you liked this. We wanted some subtlety, but, not too much (lines like your fave, for example!). I'm not sure that Kathy will be flat-out accepting of her husband's secret, exactly, but maybe she's crafty about picking her battles... *g*
It was a lot of fun working with trillingstar on your story. We were both struck by the expression on Kathy's face, the confusion and also the sympathy. Elliot's rage was also interesting, but Kathy is what really inspired this story. It was really surprising how easy this story fell together.
Thank you for creating such an inspiring piece of artwork!
nindevotee: I love these picture, it has so many possibilities, so many ways these two can cause Kathy's distress. I really like how you don't show Chris' face - his tat is such a good representation of him.
cmk14: I can totally see Kathy having these thoughts - how could she not? Especially after the comparison of Chris' easy-going nature and El's button-down tenseness...great drabble!
ozstar: Love this story! Loved seeing the two from Kathy's pov, and how, after knowing the truth it becomes so obvious to her. The intensity between Chris/Elliot is hot and thick, ready to combust at any minute.
Yay, thank you so much! We had totally agreed on doing something from Kathy's POV, and the intensity between the three of them in nindevotee's graphic begged for something explosive.
nindevotee - Your artwork is so intense. I was really inspired by Kathy's expression. Elliot's rage is also interesting, but it was Kathy that really gave me the hook into this story. I also love that you don't show Chris's face, just the tattoo -- and yet, he's still so expressive! Thank you for the inspiration!
cmk418 - Considering you're not familiar with SVU, you really captured a truth about all three characters. Wonderfully done!

trillingstar and ozsaur aka OzStar Productions (ingenious)
Favorite line:
Kathy tries not to see the pinkness around his mouth, the effects of Chris's goatee rubbing his skin.Absolutely drool-worthy!! :D ( ... )
