Description
To celebrate Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary I plan to create a picture for all 11 Doctors and here's Nr. 1 (with Nr. 6)! I know, I won't manage to do all of them in one year, but at least I'll try to complete as many as possible...I loved Colin's theatrical, short-tempered multi-coloured Doctor... pity his tenure was so short. Well, at least he managed to continue on Big Finish audios and you could say he's my favorite of the five Doctors currently represented in audio plays.
I tried to represent all of his TV adventures plus two "non-canonical" companions from audio and comics including a certain shape-shifting Whifferdill... for me, they represent this Doctor's era as much as his broadcast stories!
Done with pencil, ink & Photoshop for the "colours" and the starry stuff...
So, a quick guide, starting from top left and working my way down:
Mestor (The Twin Dilemma); Daleks (Revelation Of The Daleks); Cyberman (Attack Of The Cybermen); Evelyn Smythe (Audio Companion); The Doctor; Peri (Companion); Sil (Vengeance On Varos & Mindwarp); Mel (Companion); Sontaran (The Two Doctors); Sabalom Glitz (The Mysterious Planet & The Ultimate Foe); The TARDIS; The Master (Mark Of The Rani & The Ultimate Foe; The Rani (The Mark Of The Rani); The Valeyard (The Trial Of A Time Lord); The Borad (Timelash); Vervoids (Terror Of The Vervoids); The Space Station from Trial Of A Time-Lord; Frobisher (Comic Companion).

Beautiful work! I adore the character of Evelyn Smythe --so delighted that you included her!

Thank you... She's great, isn't she? It's so sad Maggie Stables isn't with us any more, but she left us a great character!

Oh I adore the Frobisher reference, and since he's appeared in Big Finish (which we now know to be canon) Frobisher is now also canon. Yay! ^_^

Thank you... indeed he is my favorite part of this little collection.
He always was one of my favorite characters, he's just so wonderfully bizarre... I doubt there's any other Sci-Fi series wich could get away with a talking penguin!
And yes... I also realized he's now an "official" character! So... maybe someday in the future he may find his way on the screen... well... maybe...

I especially like the Cyberman up the top there, so shiny and detailed.

Thank you... I used a bit of Photoshop magic to give him a metallic surface and I think it turned out quite nicely.

Amazing mix of traditional and digital + great skills!
Peri had astonishing... TALENTS!
But she's so goddamn annoying that I always prefered the worst lines they came up with for 6 over her BS.
Even though it's my least fav era (thanks to John Nathan-Turner's "brilliant" ideas that lead to the doctor attacking Peri and what not), I love Anthony Ainley as the Master (his obvious disguises! LOL) and the Rock'n'Roll gun from an early ep!
Damn, still can't get over these humanoid Vaggy-veggy-monsters!xD

Thank you...
I'd recommend you to check out the 6th Doctor audio plays by Big Finish, they show how brilliant Colin Baker's era could have been.
Indeed, of all the classic companions, Peri is the one who qualifies best as eye candy. But again, I adore her and the obvious good chemistry between Bryant and Baker, makes those two one of my favorite Doctor/companion duos (just notice how much more relaxed the relationship between Peri and the Doctor is in the first "Trial" part).
And Ainley was great, though my favorite story with him was Survival, he was really chilling in that one.

Ja, evtl. werd ich die Big Finish CDs mal holen.
Bin dennoch verdammt sauer auf JNT, dass er DW in solche düsteren bzw. dämlichen Bahnen gelenkt hat!
Oh, Survival! Eine der wenigen Folgen die damals glaub ich noch hier in DE ausgestrahlt wurden...
7 ist einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsdoktoren und ja, Survival war soo genial!
Cheesy, aber dennoch düster auf ne gute Art.
Schade nur, dass danach Eric Roberts kam und, naja der Rest ist Geschichte....xD
Ganz liebe Grüße und eine entspannende, inspirierende Zeit wünsch ich!

Sorry, hat etwas gedauert... Big Finish hat gerade die ersten 50 Titel auf 5 Pfund runter gesetzt. Da kann man sich ganz gut einhören.
Ich würde empfehlen:
5th Doctor Spare Parts (wie Genesis Of The Daleks, nur halt mit den Cybermen)
6th Doctor The Holy Terror (bißchen mehr in die Comedy-Richtung und mit Frobisher als Companion)
7th Doctor The Fires Of Vulcan (Vulkanausbruch von Pompeij, aber als reines Historical)
8th Doctor Storm Warning (das erste Hörspiel mit ihm, da die McGann Stories ein bisschen aufeinander aufbauen, sollte man auch hier anfangen...

Wow fantastic! You really improved! A fantastic combination of traditional and photoshop! I love it!

Thank you!!! I'm glad there's still room for improvements... It took quiet a lot of time, especially the Photoshop part, but I think it was worth it.

He has the BEST coat EVER. . .also, the fact that there is a (currently) penguin in this drawing makes it even more awesome. . . also, I need to patch the rat-chewed-hole in my coat T_T.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! Indeed, I love his coat of many colours... and ironically, Frobisher is the most mono-chromatic companion (I always thought black and white must be the most comfortable colour for a shapeshifter).
I remember you wonderful coat with great fondness, let's hope the rat didn't do too much damage to it (Fun Fact: As far as I know, rats are colour-blind).

Another fun fact, it seems that penguins are not! Atlas was enamored by the fancy colours in my roomie and my hair (she has blue, and I had green streaks at the time) when we visited the zoo. He tried to eat it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, seems you both looked quite delicious to him. Or maybe he craved for a bit of colour... has anyone ever asked the penguin if he wanted to have his feathers dyed? Perhaps he was always hoping for such an offer!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wonder if perhaps he read about flamingos and figured that eating greens and blues would make him thusly coloured. . .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, that would explain the news report about that turquoise penguin I saw recently...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
These things happen. *nods* If I were a penguin I'd take advantage of feather dyes most certainly. Parrot coloured pengs. yep.

Also ehrlich, deine Bilder faszinieren mich immer wieder aufs Neue!! Allein schon die ganzen Details.... O.O
Ich finde, dieses Bild ist reif für 'n Posterdruck! Für die Colin-Fans sowieso...

Danke, danke... Ja, ich hab' diesmal auch recht viel Arbeit in die Nachbearbeitung gesteckt, das tut der Wirkung am Bildschirm auch recht gut. Schön, daß man es auch sieht. Troughton ist als nächstes dran...!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, das wird dann auf jeden Fall eher was für meinen Freund. Ich persönlich kann mit dem zweiten Doctor weniger was anfangen... *gesteh* ^^'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ist ja auch nicht tragisch... die Schwarzweiß-Folgen fordern schon etwas mehr... sagen wir mal Enthusiasmus. Von den Rekonstruktionen ganz zu schweigen... aber ich finde gerade Troughton spielt den Charakter ganz wunderbar und viele seiner Nachfolger orientieren sich an ihm. Aber das ist ja das schöne, es sind genug Doktoren für alle da!

I'm not sure what to say beyond "Wow! Nicely done"

Thank you... that's really nice!!!

Wow, just found you. Great piece to start with, too.

Thank you... I chose this era because a) I liked it and b) it was not too long so I could put all stories and companions comfortably on in one picture (for the other Dotors I'll have to be a bit more picky, not all stories will make it).

Thank you... It was quite a lot of work, I'm glad it shows a bit.

Thank you... well, I already started to plan the next one (should be the Second Doctor), I hope my motivation stays that high!

I hope so too, it is a wonderful project
