I grew up with Tom Baker era Dr Who

I didn't grow up with any of this, I only got into it this year, but Tom Baker is on my list.

Tom "Teeth an curls." Baker. Longest scarf ever...

Jelly Baby?

yes please :)

david :D I love all three of them, very well drawn ^^

David Tennant <3<3<3 great work on their portraits!!

I always claimed Baker as MY Doctor, but I love, love LOVE Matt Smith!

I haven't seen Baker yet. We're gonna have to buy the dvds slowly because it's a bit hard to get ahold of :P I'm going to be so poor by the time I get all of the shows I want on DVD.

They don't have all the series, but if you have Netflix streaming, you can catch a bunch of old Doctor Who specials, including ones with Baker, through them.

Tom or Colin?

THIS MADE MY DAY! You captured them perfectly!

River Song.

*spontaneously combusts* NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

OMG
I thought you were joking, Im sorry, I'm so so sorry.

You stop talking about Rose, you stop it right now! -tearing up-
I knew exactly who these guys were from the second I saw this. Very well done! :3

I know, I start talking about Doctor Who and I just cant shut up! SPOILER needs to be stamped across my forehead XD

That's okay, it's fun to discuss! I'll hide these now and let people wonder what the hell it is we said XD

lol, the mystery will bug them forever!

VERY briefly and hopefully spoiler-free... having grown up with the previous cast of Doctors, I can totally see what you mean, and agree with your feelings. Davies is excellent at setup and buildup, but his penchant for every season ender being Bigger and Apocalypticer than the last one did feel like he painted himself into a corner. Though I still liked the big villain reveal, and felt New Doctor was given yet another chance at his redemption.

Moffat needs an editor, badly. Great at individual episodes, but only starting to get a handle on a series-long arc plotting.

I like your assessment of Rose. But you want badass? SARAH JANE. She never let us down. Such, such a loss.

I'm done fanning! *giggle*

Oh Go yes, Sarah Jane, a thousand times Sarah Jane!

You know what I'm waiting for, though? Ace to make a guest spot. The original actress has already expressed great enthusiasm at the idea and I want it to happen so bad!

We were extremely lucky to have So Much Sarah Jane. (yet it was never enough.) We also got Jo Grant. Ace? Sure!

Adric remains DEAAAAD. Exploded into atoms. *giggle*

Okay I drew an Ianto now you must reciprocate the Iantoness. /jk XD You might actually succeed in making him look like -him- because he has these really difficult features to capture. o.O You rocked the caricatures of these actors to a tee, especially David Tennant. I have to say I am -really- loving all your face portrait sketches, your earlier batch is what made me want to do mine. :3

I should be doing work but all I want to do is portraits of my favourite BBC characters. I haven't even done all my other faves from Sherlock, which consists of the entire cast. Ianto is a bit tricky I think. He's like Matt Smith, his face is a rectangle, except he has actual eyebrows. I still need to finish Torchwood foiwuerouwer.

"his face is a rectangle, except he has actual eyebrows" By all reckoning, he should look like Nine. XD

Er like -your- nine, not Doctor 9.

Fantastic.

:D

Brilliant

hahaha fantastic any plans on drawing the companions ?

dr. who is the kind of series who can make a lot of mess with the head.

Oh yes. Oh yes there will be companions too :D I look forward to River Song's hair and Rose Tyler's mouth XD

and don't forget Craig, even if he only was a two episodes companion.

River Song River Song RIVER SONG!

SQUEEE THOSE TENNANT EYES - he is a huge puppy really XD

Also I'll have to disagree I absolutely hate Rose - but Donna and Martha are amazing

Rose haters, I fart in your general direction.

I liked the somewhat lean/mean style of 9, actually. It lent him a bit of depth and while we all knew the Doctor put on a good happy-go-lucky front, this showed a bit more of the weariness and anger he had over the events in his past. In "Dalek" Nine was literally spitting with rage during one of the scenes! I thought that was fantastic.

Love the bust sketches, you really captured Nine's smirk and the expressive eyes of Ten and Eleven.

I can understand liking him for that reason too. And I did love his acting. I don't think I had much time to get attached to him though, and I definitely lean toward good writing and with that season there was this... uncertainty in the writing? Like they weren't sure if this reboot of an old series was even going to work out, so the writing was a bit disjointed as they got their footing. Like I said, I love everybody for different reasons in this show, even Ninth Doctor, I just didn't get as attached to him as I did to Rose XP

I love this picture. Wasn't crazy about Doctor 9. Doctor 10 is my hero and I worship him. Doctor 11...I have very mixed feelings about. Honestly, I think that the next Doctor should be a woman or an over active teenager.

Eccleston was my first doctor :-D

Mine too :P But Eleven has my heart.

Gods I love Doctor Who soo much. I can't wait to see how everything turns out in this next season. I still want to say Donna is my fav companion, mainly because of the unfair ending she got compared to a lot of the other companions. Ughhhhh I still miss David Tennant as the Doctor though. I wasn't expecting Matt Smith to be so good, but he really did surprise me. He's really awesome. But I am not a fan of how they split the seasons up for him between basically two parts. Anyways, keep up the awesome Doctor Who fan art, I won't complain!

Because I watched everything all at once it wasn't split up for me. So I didn't have to deal with that. I think probably it worked out in the end though because the writers could take a break and collect themselves to do something awesome rather than throwing something together to meet deadlines that wasn't as inspired as it could be... if that makes any sense.

Yeah it does. I've been a fan since right before Rose left, before Martha came on. I also really got into Torchwood and watched a bit of The Sarah Jane Adventures. The 10th Doctor's seasons were pretty set, but the 11th started to get split in half. It bugged the crap out of me because I had to wait like 2 months for it to come back. Anyways, it's great!

By some absolute fluke, my roomie and I watched the episodes of Torchwood which corresponded with where we were in Doctor Who, thus making certain plot twists that connected between both shows doubly mindfucking. I wish I could tell people to do the same if they sit down to watch it but I don't even know how we managed.

Hahaha, nice. Yeah there's a few plots from Torchwood that tie into Doctor Who. I wish the Doctor actually made a cameo in Torchwood, but meh. Can't win them all I suppose.

Five Words express my feelings on The Tenth Doctor: I don't want to go.

WHY ARE YOU BRINGING MY FEELS BACK.

I sorry... will this help? Eight Words: I Am The Doctor, and I am talking!

I disagree with absolutely everything you said so we'll just have to go our separate ways. I love all that you mentioned, but in the end I don't think that even matters, because the writing is still phenomenal and, I feel, even better than it was with Tennant.

Honestly, all the changes turn me away from the series for a while too. Then I sucked it up and watched it, and fell in love all over again. I admit, some of it is a bit silly at times, and it seems like Amy is more serious than the Doctor is sometimes, but it is definitely amazing. All the plot lines tie together so much in the new seasons, you don't even notice it until it's revealed.

Excellent work.. love the series, both old and new.

Favorited SO FAST. Fantastic work.

I approve of this! :D

i love doctor who so much just seeing doctor who art makes me want to break into tears because i am having trouble waiting for the new season.

they're all my favourite doctors, but i love Nine because he's still so angsty and mad about the time war and Rose basically warms up his hearts and just ugh fuck tears

WHAT YOU SAID. YES. That is why I love Rose and don't understand them Rose haters. Doctor would still be a cynical hateful upset man if not for her dammit T_T Not saying I disliked Nine, he just wasn't my fave, but he was only there for one season so I had less time to love him.

I think the whole point of him since the reboot is "Doctor needs companions" - especially considering what he had done just before "Rose". Donna also saved him. Martha... not entirely sure. Then they reversed it - Amy needed him. Changed the dynamic a bit.

Once you see some old episodes, you'll notice the different attitude towards the companions.

martha just had that whole unrequited thing going on for the Doctor and it was so awkward watching some of the episodes sometimes because it was just like, "UGH MARTHA he doesn't love you"

I

LOVE

DR. WHO!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sorry, had to get that out. I love all Doctors, but I really did love David. I've also mostly only seen him, but my Who loving friends have introduced me to the others. I also love Donna. Want to hug her. I always seem to catch one episode, and it always makes me cry because it's a sad one.

See, it took me forever to sit down and watch Doctor Who because EVERY TIME I saw an episode it was always Waters of Mars. Always. And I had no context, no idea what anything was, only the vaguest notion of Doctor = time traveller Tardis = time travel machine and everything else might as well have been a foreign language. I'm glad I watched it marathon-style now, I don't think I'd have understood it otherwise.

Yeah, I was lucky enough to have an older brother who also loves Dr. Who, and loved the original Doctors 1-6(?) as well. I don't remember if the older series got to 7 and 8, but I think they explained it somewhere along the way in the new one. I want to sit and watch it marathon style, I just don't really have the time. I could probably make the time, but I don't have access to them all. Which makes me sad, by the way. XD

STOP DRAWING ALL MY FAVORITE THINGGGGGGGSSSSSSnoI'mkiddingdon't

TENNANT!!

TENNANT
is the best

oh gosh, my friends just got me started on the new series at the beginning this last weekend and after only 2 episodes, im pretty hooked.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE you opened the floodgates, woman, the FLOODGATES

You can't really compare the series (current shows) to the seasons (previous shows) too much. Different intents, different audience, different mindset. It kind of shows it was restarted by basically fans, whereas before it was a long-running program and there was this set of guidelines to follow, what we'd call Real Writers commissioned for episodes, even just having what were 2-hour episodes split over a month, and the tongue-in-cheek knowledge that was it wasn't fully serious. It was the US fans and their conventions that took the BBC by surprise a bit.

They did seem to keep the general feeling that with every regeneration, the Doctor gets younger. Next, he may very well BE a teenage woman. Likely red-haired, as wanted. Though uinlikely that Amy basically becomes the next Doctor, we saw her grow up. :x)

Took me a while to warm up to most characters. Donna I hated in the Special, and grudgingly tolerated during her season until Turn Left - and then it clicked, and I loved her in re-watching episodes. I didn't know she was primarily a comic actress (or Billie Piper a pop idol, though I knew Kylie Minogue was a singer, didn't know she was an actress, did NOT recognise her).

Is it bad I feel that last year's special (Christmas Carol) may be impossible to beat? That VOICE... *soft sigh* love how Michael Gambon, in the Confidential, says during filming he kept just staring at her in lovestruck awe as she sang for real despite knowing it was going to be overdubbed. (She knew, and it shows - the throat muscles would be completely wrong if she just mimed.)

Honestly, I'm quite new to the whole series, and I'm glad for it because I don't find anything different, new or changed to be off-putting like some diehard old-time fans seem to. Actually I find the fandom more off-putting than anything, which is why I avoid it and stick to the Sherlockians who blatantly worship the canon instead of fighting over it (I'm sure there's some hateful part of that fandom too but I haven't seen it and I'm not about to go looking).

Oh, I adore the new stuff. It's just different. Different is not bad. :x) If you ever see a few episodes of the old one, the contrast should be interesting. That's about it for me.

I'm going to watch Fourth doctor, just a matter of getting my hands on it. It could either go well or very poorly. I admit that I only started really loving Doctor Who when Steve Moffat's episodes came into it though so I may be too busy mourning his lack of writing on it to enjoy it properly T_T

I love the 9th! He's fresh out of the time war, bitter and alien towards humans, a perfect fit for a lonely god, and how he progressed to the 10th and 11th through charactrer development.

10 still is, and always will be, my favorite.

I <3 Dat Hair.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. WHY. GOD DAMNIT. YOU ART. YOU MAKE DAVID AMAZING.

Gaaaah I have to go listen to Chameleon Circuit now I hate you.

You love me.

I do. By god I do. ; ______; So much, so much.

Can't stand Matt Smith, stuck up and no humor. Loved Eccleston, smart ass and brilliant. Really attracted to Tennant, sexy smart and outstandingly humorous. I really would love to find a source of the old Dr. Who and watch how the series evolved.

I feel like Eccleston is under-appreciated. I enjoy his upbeat "I don't care but, underneath it all, I do" attitude. He is so eccentric like that and I think he plays it off quite well. It's a shame that his run only lasted for 13 episodes. I have yet to see the other Doctors. I myself have only gotten into Doctor Who this year. Nice drawings of the three new doctors. :)

Loved Eccleston he was so dark and dangerous... a kick ass Doctor... While Tennant was more the repentant Doctor... Mat Smith is ok... but doesn't make me excited like Peter Davidson or Tom Baker

Good job young artist. ^^

Like many others, I wasn't too sure of Smith initially, but he had me at "Why can't you give me any decent food - you're Scottish, fry something."

the doctor took us by the hand and we never stop running!

Nahww, this already has sooo many comments....but anyways:

I totally agree to your statements about the doctors! Had the same reactions during the seasons...
*sob*

But I didn't cry as much as I did during Torchwood...OMG!...Torchwood p.q;;;

Also:
Love David's face <3

Nothing makes me cry like Sherlock.
There is no end to my tears T_T

Haven't seen Sherlock yet p.q;
Kinda hard to get in germany...and expensive.
But Sherlock is definitely on my 'must watch' list. ^^

I download everything and buy it when it is made available. I'm not waiting until it's released in CANADA, I will have been spoiled for EVERYTHING by then D8<
Sherlock Season 2 I just preordered and it'll beeee heeeerree probably tomorrow OWEROWERUWOERUWEOR HAPPY

I tried to download it but I couldn't find any downloads that are still online.
My fiancé has huge problem with understanding the british accent so we have to watch it in german...so...it's a bit of a problem o.o;
But I'll buy the DVD as soon as I have the money and find a store that has it. ^^

Tennant is so damn awesome. He even beats out Baker in my mind. It doesn't hurt that he had some of the best episodes, either. "Blink" for one is just phenomenal.

Blink hardly has much to do with Tennant though and everything to do with Moffat being a genius XD I loved that episode too.

True, it was one of the Doctor-light episodes, but it's hardly the only one. The "Silence in the Library"-"Forest of the Dead" arc was almost as good. "Turn Left" too (although that's another Doctor-light episode). "Midnight" (and that one's all about the Doctor). The Master arc. There were just so many great stories during Tennant's time as Doctor.

It's very true, there were. Silence in the Library and FOrest of the Dead remain two of my all-time fave episodes but that entire story arc involving River Song just overwhelms me with feels T_T I honestly love Tennant and Smith both too much, I don't have anything negative to say about 'em XP

Wow man awesome stuff. I was very skeptical about Dr Who first since I felt it was just an annoying fad, but then my fiance started watching it and Nine really rubbed me the wrong way. But once David took over WOW I could not get enough of this show. I watched all that I could and I only want MORE MORE MORE!

I don't know much about Doctor Who . . . but the last one reminds me of Conan O'Brien. 83

The tenth doctor has always been my favorite ever since I started watching the show with my brother.

lol you have summed this up pretty well,
this is what many others thought when the 11th doctor came into play, my sister was a little more stubborn but matt smith won her over soon enough with his quirkiness X3
excellent drawings btw

ECCELSEX!!!!!! <33333 I love them all but Christopher Eccleston is my favorite

I think it is a shame Christopher Ecclestone didn't do another series.

Yup. That smile...

A friend recently loaned me the 2006 Series and everything after that. My first contact with the Doctor, not counting the one or two episodes I caught on german TV and made little sense to me then.

Now, first up front. The series with the 9th and 10th Doctor. Aside from everything else, it was FUN to watch. That's something the producers should try more often no matter the genre.

9th Doctor, that smile/grin is just irrresistable. I just had to smile with him.
10th Doctor, better actor, not as much charisma than the 9th.
11th Doctor, hmm... well, the actor is good, but the stories... well, they work, but looking at the 9th Doctor, they could be better overall.

Best Character: Captain Jack... Harkness. No contest here.
Best Companion: I won't go there.
Most Funny: Daleks talking to the Cybermen.
Most surprising and moving: "I did my duty for queen and country."
Most distressing: The kindness and fury of the Timelord. It's scary what he can do if he wants it.
And whenever he can, he gives his opponents a chance to give it up.

*sigh*
The end of the earth.
The Titanic over Buckimham Palace.
The Daleks...

You know, the Daleks have actually taken the # 1 spot in my personal villain species' list. Not the Borg and not the Cylons (old and new).
They are just creepy if I think about it. Flying tincans, smaller than I am, each with the shields and firepower of a space fighter. Add that to their singular purpose... 'EXTERMINATE'. *shivers*

Last thing that surprised me. The number of 'normal' people willing to sacrifice themselves. Something else other Series/Movies should put in a little more often. No heroes, no main characters, normal people. That's something Dave Tennant as the 9th Doctor brought over well. His reactions to being saved by someone sacrificeing themselves. For example, 'Voyage of the Damned' and others.

Number nine and ten were both in the Harry Potter Movies...

I know ten was, but who was nine? I didn't think Eccleston was in Harry Potter....

huh... according to IMDb he wasn't in any of the HP movies... but I could have sworn he was a character in one of the first three... minor part in ether Chamber of Secrets or Prisoner of Azkaban.

aesome work! so recognisable!! i agree with you and all your points, that's the rollarcoaster i went through and some of the older docs and companion (being english, i grew up with doctor who...IT's IN MY BLOOD!!!!) but 10 and Donna will always be my fave!! what a pairing!!!

Oh my god yes Doctor Who! The middle one is my favorite actor as The Doctor :D

*grin*
Yep, I think that was everyones reactions going through the past few years!

omgomgomgomgomgomgomg!!! so much awesomeness!!~

I also love this show. All Doctors are good, but Ten is definitely my favorite. When he [SPOILER OMITTED] I just started sobbing.

Lovelovelovelove it :D

I concur!
The Doctor rules. Any Doctor.
Tom Baker was my Doctor - but I've since come to love every incarnation, both before and after.
And these new series - aren't they just brilliant?

LOL I had similar feels. I love your face doodles!

Your first reaction to Matt Smith was MY first reaction to Matt Smith! XD
Eccleston did a rather interesting job, considering he was the actor who helped launch the revival. Can't really blame him for much. Tennant, though, is...hell, just an awesome actor overall. Still my favorite. Smith, on the other hand- Whoa, wait, bare with me now... Smith...though it's true he's no Tennant, and I found the first bit of his premier season to feel a bit rough, I've seen that he's got his flow going in the latest season, and he's actually not bad as the Doctor. Tennant was good in that he could hit the ground running and make it his own. For that, he will forever be my favorite doctor. However, I've grown to love Smith now, too. And bowties, for some reason.

AAAAANYWAYS, moving along to the art comment, you did a good job recreating not only the look, but the feel of each doctor respectively here. Hell, I'd actually love to see a full body piece with these three playing cards against one another, or going pubbing, or something silly. X3

i still wish the 9th doctor had been on longer. awww, i miss that actor. though i ahve to admit, i didn't really feel sad when he regenerated because, its still the same doctor, still with the same memories. In my opinion, the saddest parts are when the companions leave.

10th is best ;w;
