Description
I actually had this mostly finished over a month ago, it just took me that long to add the last little details. Yeeeah, I'm a lazy procrastinator. But honestly, who doesn't know that by now.Wasn't sure exactly which category to put this in, but hey, it is a landscape.
Yes, this is basically Doctor Who fanart. Note the TARDIS. 8D
The world that the Doctor and his companion are visiting came from my mind. I call it Coralis Pagora. It has an orange sky, and semi-crystalline purple mountains with deep blue lakes. There's more to the planet than purple mountains, of course, but they are its most striking feature, especially at certain times of day (like sunrise, pictured above).

The landscape for this piece comes from the imagination & although mountains, lakes & skies are ten a penny here on DA, they're not so commonly rendered in such eye-catching hues! The warmth of the palette radiates out of this painting in such an inviting way, that I would love to walk into the glow of the morning on this strange planet.
I particularly like the contrast of the sky against the mountains & the detail in the striations of the rocks are beautifully done.
My suggestions for improvement are few. I'm not sure about the lighting on the lake, I find it hard to work out the perspective when looking at it. This may be intentional however. There is also a small something on the outcrop to the right which looks like it might be a person or something...it's distracting & again throws the perspective as the TARDIS is so close to us on the left.
The TARDIS is great, but it is difficult when depicting an object with straight line in paint & some of the lines are slightly out on the windows for instance.
Overall, a really pretty landscape revealing an artist who revels in colour - an excellent strength!

Daleks or the Doc and companion, that is the question. Love the colours and how the mountains all have a hawk-like summit.

Lool I just realized: the two figures on the cliff could either be a) two figures like it's meant b) a Dalek

Only if it's a dead dalek whose casing has been split (or blown up) at the top.

Nyoo poor wee Dalek! I first thought it was a Dalek when I actually noticed something standing over there. That would've been cool if not a little odd since the TARDIS was right across the canyon. "The Lonely Dalek"?

The colouring of the mountains remind me of the Storm Dragon you did some time ago :3
Coralis Pagora is a nice name too~
