Description
Part-inspired by the Lord President's recent return to the show and part-inspired by a conversation on Twitter here's my representation of the main versions of the founder of Time Lord society.
(L-R) Comic strip version (various DWMs of the early 80s), Richard Mathews (The Five Doctors), Donald Sumpter (Hell Bent), Timothy Dalton (The End of Time), Don Warrington (multiple Eighth Doctor audio adventures)

Hi, I'm late but it seems that Titan comics reused your fan art for the Warrington incarnation's costume. (Unless you both based it on a picture i'm unaware of) You can see the panel there: tardis.wikia.com/wiki/File:The…

I like the outfit you've put together for the Five Doctors one- War Games robes colored gold combined with the Coronet of Rassilon from Five Doctors, right? I don't know where the staff is from, though. If I had any complaints it'd be that he should also be wearing the Sash of Rassilon from Deadly Assassin. As for the Big Finish Rassilon, it seems that you've grabbed Don Warrington's face from Rise of the Cybermen- wouldn't have thought of that trick myself, so nicely done!
I do have to ask, though- is DWM Rassilon a photo-manipulated Obi-Wan?

The Five Doctors Rassilon costume is actually from an exhibition display of the original costume from the episode - I only spotted that it's a replica of the War Games look when creating this but it is noted in the production subtitles for the Five Doctors special edition.
I deliberately chose not to use the sash anywhere as I think it's an ugly design. The staff is actually the Rod of Rassilon as it appears in the Deadly Assassin.
Warrington's actually taken from a promotional picture for his stage appearance in Death of a Salesman.
And DWM Rassilon is a generic stock photo of a hooded monk with added bushy beard!

I love how I guessed absolutely nothing right- it's always fun to try though! 😅

Love it, the Big Finish Rassilon's costume looks great, and I'm glad you've included the comic strip Rassilon since he's often ignored.
Going slightly off-topic, once "The War Doctor - Only the Monstrous" is released, will you update your Engines of War audiobook covers with matching sidebars?

It's one of the normal promos sent out for the episode. It's on the Blogtor Who sit (amongst others).

Interesting tunic you've got for the Don Warrington version

I wanted to have him in darker clothing (without just going down the whole Valeyard shortcut) to emphasise just how manipulative he is in comparison to the others...

"Five of them, eh? I didn't know when I was well off."
Geez. If we think the Doctor doesn't get along well with himself, just think of the shitstorm it would be with multiple Rassilons...
