Captain Jack Harkness Digital Art

So I was playing around with some digital sketches and then I started coloring this one and then I felt compelled to finish it. It's Captain Jack Harkness, a character on Doctor Who and the main character of the DW spin-off Torchwood. His face isn't quite right, but it's pretty darn close and I'm still working on faces in general. His face took about 4 hours and the rest of him was like an hour and a half. Worked off a photo.

Talk | Doctor Who

So we've had some serious snowstorms lately, and found time to make another Doctor Who video! This is all of New Who, and features the song "Talk" by Coldplay.

I figured out how to use Adobe Elements, and this happened. The stills/gifs are all from DW, and the quotes are from various sources.

Adric's Star

Hello! Here's a pic I just finished in CorelDraw PhotoPaint. It's Adric's star. Adric was the Fifth Doctor's companion, and also one of the few companions to die (permanently) during the show's run. 

To explain the significance of the star, it was a badge that Adric wore that he had received in recognition of mathematical excellence. In "Earthshock" the Doctor and co. faced the Cybermen, whose weakness was gold. Adric's star was made of gold, so he gave it to the Doctor. The Doctor crushed the star while defeating the Cybermen and the day was saved, leaving the Doctor and co. (minus Adric) in the TARDIS. Adric had remained on board the spaceship (where the episode largely took place) trying to crack the Cybermen's code. The Doctor then planned on rescuing Adric from the spaceship, which was hurtling towards prehistoric Earth, but the TARDIS controls had been damaged and he was not able to dematerialize. The spaceship crashes into Earth and becomes the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs. The credits roll silently, with Adric's broken star as the backdrop.

^^if that doesn't make much sense, you can always read the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthshock#Plot

And here's the reference photo:

Hope you like and RIP Adric!

Doctor Who Wallpapers

I came up with a whole new selection of Doctor Who wallpapers for my desktop...here's two that I had to tweak a little to fit on my screen.

Companions' Departures on Doctor Who

With "The Angels Take Manhattan" in mind, I made up this pie chart showing how companions have left the Doctor's care. I included companions from the classic and new series, and categorized them as best I could, using their final departures as their method of departure, ignoring any return visits. But more of that later.

Obviously this is going to vary slightly depending on how the companions are categorized, what constitutes a "companion," etc, etc, etc. This is the best I can figure, though. At worst it's a vaguely correct representation of percentages. :-)
