Inspiration for pic:

1. Woke up at 10am in the morning and turned on the telly. -_-; it was ... justin timberlake's 'Sexy Back'. Being really a Jazz person, I watched in mild horror for a moment as a woman rolled over on glass (?) and switched telly off. unfortunately, the bridge stuck.

2. Went out and while buying a drink saw (again!!) the same mtv. Misheard a verse - gave rise to this pic. -o-;;;

3. Much later after having actually drawn the pic, I looked up the lyrics online: and very, very coincidentally: pertinent verses:

I'm bringing sexy back
Them other boys don't know how to act
...
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way

... don't ask me how I misheard that 2nd last line copied as the line printed in the picture. -o- serious, I didn't even realize the song involved shackles/whips until looking it up after drawing the pic... .... ....

Other notes:
1. There's something wrong with the positioning of James' legs. Sorry. It's 2am now.
2. I realized quite a few of my previous pieces are wrong. On closer inspection, it seems that Scruffy!James' coat is his Captain's coat, not his (much more fun to draw) Commodore's dress coat. : (
3. Yes, James' clothes aren't very scruffy. : (
4. Drawn in an attempt to encourage the writing of more sparrington smut. O___oa There, I admit it. XD
