regndoftWas going to study and watch more Blake's 7 today. Ended up listening to audio play and falling asleep for three hours. Oops?
But now, let's talk a bit about fanart.
50 Years of Whovians is a fan project that's been running for all of 2013 so far, basically aiming to illustrate every single televised Doctor Who story since 1963. A variety of artists are participating, (mostly) amateurs and (some) professionals, with a variety of styles and interpretations in different mediums.
(If you're thinking about participating, most Classic Who stories have been claimed already - but the end of the McCoy era, the movie and the new series will be open for claiming on March 30th.)
I wish this was a clever attempt at advertising a fun and creative project for other Whovians, but actually I'm mostly mentioning this because I'm doing and illustration that's due for March 10th, and I finished the sketch today. So if you want to give me constructive criticism/ego boosts before I ruin it with lineart, that would be great.
I don't have a working scanner, so for the purpose of this entry I've taken pictures with my camera - obviously this won't be the case with the finished product, but for now it'll do.
- I was VERY late to the game with this project, and honestly surprised The Green Death was still up for grabs. Not that I'm complaining...
- I've had this composition in mind from the beginning, and am pretty happy with it; the only thing I worry a bit about is whether the flower power makes the image too cluttered. I added it because only the screen and the crystal felt too bare, and I maintain this is better - but still, not entirely confident. The background will also be very bleak, basically monochrome, so I wanted a foreground that stood out more.
- Jo has the sweetest face, but it's so hard to draw. ;-;
Also, for fun, this is the concept sketch:
I AM AN ARTIST.
And while we're on the subject of fanart, I have two fully coloured Doctor/Master pieces that I should really post... when I've gathered enough courage to do so (self-conscious, me? Why would you say that...).

Date: 2013-02-26 12:09 am (UTC)I love The Green Death. Welsh hippies! Giant maggots! The Doctor's "vacation"! Fungi! More giant maggots! Kind of creepy Nietzshean computer! THE DOCTOR IN DRAG (which actually isn't half as fun as Mike's quick acceptance of the fact that he has the kind of life where his co-workers sometimes dress up as women, trufax).
And then it hurts in the end. Ow. :c
