SO I’ve been reading Interference (25th EDA book) and I also recently went to a lecture by Mark Andrews (director of Brave) about visual storytelling and storyboarding.

and this moment really sticks in my mind from that book so I though I’d try and illustrate it and then found out that I don’t have the skills or the patience to do that so here’s what I ended up with.

theese are usefull practice with the tablet since im not very good at using it

I just finished reading the first book of Interference.  The bits with the Doctor in the cell was one of the scariest and more interesting bits, and this is an excellent illustration if it. (The circular Gallifreyan and the equations and everything!)

Image-searched “bat skull” for a reference for the Faction Paradox masks. I’m not a little freaked out now.

Argh - Fitz! What are you doing!? And Grandfather Paradox! Eep. Even if I know what’s going to happen, this is terrifying.

Fandom Doctor Who (2005-present), Doctor Who: Eighth Doctor Adventures

Pairings Madame Vastra/Jenny Flint, implied Eighth Doctor/Fitz Kreiner

Rating/warnings PG

Spoilers None. Set after The Ancestor Cell, and at some unspecified point in the Paternoster Gang’s timeline.

Word count 14 376

Summary When Jenny finds an alien stranger outside the house at Paternoster Row, she and Madame Vastra follow instructions the Doctor has given them months in advance: “Take him in. Take care of him. Don’t get anyone else involved.” But the mysterious guest’s stay only leads to  more questions. What has made him lose his memory? Why have they been told to keep the existence of alien life from an alien being? And how come the nameless guest reminds Jenny of the Doctor, when he looks nothing like him?

Pages Torn From Time

Sketches of the Eighth Doctor, whom I love so ridiculously much! Also featuring Charley (Charlotte Pollard), the companion he refused to give up even though the laws of time and Time Lords demanded it.

I adore these two. The world needs more Eight and Charley! More Eighth Doctor, period. He is one of the sweetest, most adorable, enthusiastic, charismatic and passionate Doctors ever, though the pendulum can too easily swing to a darker, colder nature full of snark and weary of battle. And need I mention he is also played by PAUL MCGANN! *___*

If you need more convincing of his adorableness, here is an audio snippit of him rummaging through his bottomless pockets in search of sunglasses for Charley: LISTEN NOW

I highly, highly recommend the Big Finish audio dramas. They are utterly amazing and addictive, and are keeping me sane through work and the wait for the 50th.  And there’s no better time than now to start listening! Big Finish has discounted Eight’s first season to only $3 an episode!!  I recommend starting at the beginning with “Storm Warning“  ^__^

EIGHT NEEDS MORE LOVE, PEOPLE!  Give him a chance and he’ll run off with your heart. And drink all your tea.

Eighth Doctor and VIOLET?

I’m about to finish the The Gallifrey Chronicles and the entire EDA series, but I came across something interesting in To The Slaughter
(page 145)

The first time we hear about the Doctor’s colorblindness is in Unnatural History
(page 100)
image

So has he been colorblind (to violet and ‘ultraviolet’) all this time, ever since the Unnaturalist changed his biodata? 
I’d assumed that it was fixed at some point, but can a change to the biodata be fixed? 
Are all the subsequent Doctors colorblind too? 
Since regeneration is about genetic renewal and doesn’t mess with biodata, I’m inclined to think so.

Thoughts?

Well, at the end of Unnatural History, when they’re in the Unnaturalist’s lab, the Doctor does fix it:

And with a sharp motion he reached up and twanged the strand. The unseen restraint jerked against the tip of her knife, and suddenly the strand snapped back to its normal position.

The Doctor gasped, then let out a relieved sigh. ‘I’ve got the violet back.’

However, the Faction continues to mess with his biodata, so perhaps he loses it again? I quite like your idea, and I’m sure there’s a way to argue it, but that quote complicates things.

creepingmonsterism:

The question isn’t “How many Faction Paradox" fans does it take to change a light bulb?“ The Faction Paradox fandom does not exist. But every so often when you go to a con, barely noticeable in the crowd, you will see a cosplayer wandering around dressed in a bat-like skull mask. You will briefly…

The 8th Doctor - Thais by Timedancer on dA

Painted in 1999, this portrait was inspired by the romantic side of the Eighth Doctor.

I imagined he could well be an accomplished violinist, hense the title of the painting. He is playing the beautiful Meditation from the opera Thais, by Massenet.

Not only a headcanon, but actually canon. To quote the Data Core: “The Doctor could play the violin, harpsichord, flute, transverse cello, harp, banjo, theremin, wobbleboard and the piano. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers, Eater of Wasps)“

The Year of Intelligent Tigers has lots of violin-playing Eight, which makes an already excellent book as close to perfect as it possible.

Grrrr someone’s hating on Eight in the comments of one of my drawings on DeviantArt (not an Eight drawing, it’s Roger Delgado in the pic, they just went off topic). What do I do?

Did somebody just call the Eighth Doctor’s interaction with his companions…

Argue back if you feel you can do it - otherwise, don’t beat yourself up, shrug and repeat that people are pretty thick. (How can anyone say such a thing!? They obviously haven’t seen anything of him.)
