Gallifrey Fridays: K9

Eat your heart out AIBO, it's the original robot dog, K9:

And by the way, K9 had shutter shades long before Kanye ever did.



Woof!

Gallifrey Fridays: The First Master

As I am ornery and unpleasant, I rarely take requests or even suggestions. However, my good pal Jacob suggested the first incarnation of Doctor Who's nemesis, the Master, as portrayed by the late Roger Delgado--this was too good of a suggestion to pass up:

Note to self: Start shopping at the same suit store as the Master, Han, and Blofeld--it's step one towards becoming a bad-ass 70's super-villain.

Gallifrey Fridays: The Eleventh Doctor

The eleventh and current incarnation of the Doctor:

This is a decent likeness, even if I do say so myself. Of course, it helps that Matt Smith has a pretty unique look. With that giant head of hair, he's almost like a palette swap of Conan O'Brien. At any rate, I think he's doing a good job as the latest Doctor.

Gallifrey Fridays: The First Doctor

Ok, I guess Gallifrey Fridays is going to be a thing. Here's the First Doctor:

It's almost the weekend, suckers! I'm gonna watch Pokemon episodes, eat tacos, and draw!!! And probably do my laundry!!!

Yeah, I'm a wild one.

Gallifrey Fridays: Davros

Two things... First, I don't know whether or not "Gallifrey Fridays" is going to be an ongoing thing or not--this was kind of an impulse piece (though there certainly are other Doctor Who characters that I'm interested in drawing). Second, is Gallifrey the wussiest sounding fantasy/sci-fi name you've ever heard or what?

Here's Davros, father of the Dalek race:

BTW, Davros looks how I feel. Thanks to crushing sinus pain!!! Sorry I keep talking about my crushing sinus pain, but, y'know... it's crushing and painful... for my sinuses. And my face. And also my soul.

CRUSHING SINUS PAIN!!!

EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!

Turning anything into a baby, makes it cuter... right? This baby Dalek is for Karen, who got the entire office hooked on the new Doctor Who:

I don't think this piece was completely successful. Instead of looking like a super-deformed Dalek, it kind of just looks like a misdrawn Dalek. What do you think?

Anyways, it's colored gold, as per the most recent incarnation of the Daleks. A semi-significant art note, for anyone interested in the details--this is the first sketch I've posted where I've completely left the line art in black. If you go back and look at previous sketches, in each one almost all of the outlines are in color. Even most spots where the lines appear to be black, a closer look will reveal that it's usually a very dark grey, brown, or blue. The purpose of this is to "soften" up the sketch--excessive amounts of black sketch lines can look very harsh. However, harshness, I thought, would go well with a Dalek.

I always thought the Daleks were kind of silly, I mean one arm is a toilet plunger, and the other arm is a cake mixer. What's scary about that? And then I started thinking about it while I was drawing this... one arm is a toilet plunger and the other is a cake mixer. Do not, I repeat: DO NOT, eat an unidentified cake, if Daleks are known to be within the area!

Post Script: Regardless of what you think of the old Doctor Who (or even if you know nothing about it), give the new series a shot--it's a good time.
