Description
This is what has been keeping me away from DA for the last couple of weeks and I shall be replying very soon the all the messages in about a week, so apologies for that.Anyway, this is a piece of work, I did for a friend and it is based on the classic Chris Achilleos painting for " The Monster Book" from the mid seventies.
I loved that cover.
I've modernised the monster and the Doctor and it was done by colouring a mono-chrome water colour and pencil drawing in Photoshop.
Hope you like.

I discovered your who artwork a few days ago and have become hooked.. clearly you admire and emulate the works of the two 'who' greats Chris Achilleos and Frank Bellamy.
I hope you'll consider creating 'monster book' style artwork for Hartnell and Troughton....

Oh dear.
Thankfully, that hasn't happened to me yet, although, I ran into
an old class mate I hadn't seen in 15 years and he said I looked exactly the same as when he last saw me. After a pause he said that I always looked really old even then.

Dude, I could tell it was the Achillios homage from the F'in Thumbnail... beautiful job. Major kudos! Everyone looks great here and there's some great colors

Thank you very much.
I was a little worried about Tennant's face, but I think I can safely say that I have gotten away with the likeness. I have so little confidence in my portrait work, so comments like these really help.

You have some of the best portrait works I've ever seen! You should be very damn proud of them! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's very kind of you, but no way does anyone else's work pale in comparison to mine. I love the stuff you do and your
pencil work has been truly inspirational to me. So never compare for there lies madness!
Sermon over.
Seriously tho' your stuff is fantastic.

How's about we say we're equal? 
Inspirational? Really?!

Total agreement.
I really did decide to do more pencil work after seeing both, the women of Sci-fi and the men of Sci-fi. I loved the way you did those.
Excuse me if I have given them the wrong name, but anyway, I have abandoned pen and ink for now and I'm really into this mono-chrome method of drawing.
So thanks for that.

No worries!
I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thank you.
No pressure then? LOL!
I'm working on a Freema portrait and a Cyberman poster for a couple of
my friends. I will once again be doing them in pencil and colouring them digitally. So I'll post the pencil and the colour versions as and when get of my fat bottom and draw the bloody things.
They've both been waiting for me to finish these pictures for ages.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it's something definately worth waiting for when you do finish them! (oooh what version of Cybermen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope it won't disappoint.
I'm doing the entire Cyberman design history...well from the chest up anyway.
It will range from the 10th Planet, cloth -faced Cybermen right through to the new clunky Cybermen of today.
Colouring on the computer is far easier than it seems. Read up on layers and you'll be away in no time.
I'm completely Computer illiterate (I still haven't worked out the avatar thing yet) but I've managed to work out how to use Photoshop pretty well.
If I can do it, anyone can.

OMG that Cyberman pic sounds awesome already! Nothing beats old school Cybermen, and yeah the new ones are a bit on the clunky side lol though their feet remind me of bell bottoms! hahaha
Oh I'm so familiar with layers, I just need to organize a lot better

Apparently, David Bowie is supposed to be in the next series, now that will be brilliant...if it happens.

I heard that too, but they say it is a lie and he dosen't want to do it.

I hoped it was true. He was once lined up to play a villian before, but the show was axed.
Still, you never know, Kylie Minogue denied she was in it too...

lol, yea!

It would be seriously cool.
I really think he would be up for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yesh!
I hope he reconsiders it and takes the roll.
