"Where are we going?"

"Alderin Beta! Boring, planet of the chip shops. But there is a 400-foot tree growing out of a clifftop on the north side of a mountain in the middle of the sea. And if you take the lift to the top and look up, at exactly 12 minutes past midnight on the 21st of September 2360, you can see more stars in one sky than at any other moment in the history of the universe. It’s like daylight, only magic!"
"Come on, let’s go and see the stars."

"But I haven’t changed!"

"And you never will, River. Never, ever."

-- The Doctor and River from Night and the Doctor, First/Last Night



In anticipation of the Season 7 premiere that hasn't come out in America yet. EDIT: Saw the new episode. LOVED IT. Moffat, you've done it again.

This kind of goes with my other Doctor/River painting, mikazukirisa.deviantart.com/ar…

So this started out with me finding these brushes fav.me/d5ct1i9 and I was like, "Hey! They work for GIMP!" and I really wanted to try them. I thought they would make a perfect Doctor Who sky, so I started racking my brain to figure out what to draw. My friend and I started a Doctor Who marathon the week before the new episode came out, and I watched the Night and the Doctor shorts. When I got to that quote, I was like, "I wanna draw that!" So I did. XD

I will forever love these two together, even long after River's gone.

This is beautiful artwork there dynamic to me is so great...but it's still sad the doctor won't be able to see river again this show is so amazing yet it makes me cry sometimes owo which is why i can't wait for the Christmas special this year which might be a unpopular opinion i don't know ^-^

This is so beautiful, has anyone suggested you send a print to Matt and Alex?  I think either would be thrilled to have the remembrance of their time on Doctor Who!  River and Eleven were so perfect together, I can't even imagine her with any other Doctor! Thank you for sharing your wonderful art!

This is such a beautiful piece of artwork. The little details with the hair and the lighting and shading make this looks so real. And the stars are absolutely gorgeous. This is probably one of my favorite DW fanarts.

Thanks for the info, and I'm really flattered that you thought of my work! The thing is, I would love to show my work, but I don't really understand how tumblr works. I read the announcement that you sent me, and all that's needed is a url and my name, so if you would be willing to submit my art for me, that would be sweet and I would be eternally grateful!

I was a staunch "Sarah Jane was the best companion" supporter for the longest time (she still has a huge place in my heart) ... but ever since I saw "Silence in the Library", I was hooked.

Such a cleverly written character, no wonder the Doctor married her.

You.

You just.

I can't even.

These two are perfect. I don't care who you are, this picture is all about the FEEELSSS It shouldn't make me sad, but it does. I really love what you've done with the lighting. I'm definitely believing the like-daylight-but-magic bit. (Someday, I too shall have a tablet I can draw directly in GIMP in, and then I will be happy.)
