Death of The Face of Boe

NaArMaMo 2008, Day 6: Face of Boe

Doctor Who fan art featuring The Face of Boe as seen at the end of the series 3 episode Gridlock.

This is my sixth piece for this year's (Inter)National Art Making Month, in which you create a new piece of art every day in August.

This was drawn on a tablet PC using a variable width brush for the lines and the airbrush tool for the colouring. Total time spent approximately 4 hours, 50 minutes of which was the original sketch.

This was made slightly harder to draw accurately because there was lots of shadow in all the screencaps of this scene so I had to guess at a lot of the detail at the sides and back.

I tried to draw this in a slightly simplified/stylized way rather than go for 100% realism. I think this has turned out really quite well given that aim.

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or the Face of Boe, this is solely fan art, I do not claim any ownership of the characters or show.
