NaArMaMo 2008, Day 20: The Toclafane Invade

Doctor Who fan art featuring the invasion of the Toclafane as seen in the series 3 finale The Sound Of Drums/Last Of The Time Lords.

This is my twentieth 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 the airbrush tool only. Total time spent about 2.5 hours, of which about 1 hour was the three largest Toclafane and another hour was the sky. There was no original sketch.

I worked overtime again today and I was extremely tired this evening. I was having a lot of trouble motivating myself to draw anything as my options were the Time Beetle, the Tenth Doctor (or another Time Lord), the Tardis or the Toclafane.

However I suddenly realised that I didn't actually need to draw the open Toclafane ball and face, I didn't even have to draw the blades -- I could just draw a silver ball! This was suddenly not so intimidating! Once I'd drawn one, I got a little carried away and ended up drawing hundreds of them and a very dramatic background as well!

I'm quite pleased with how this turned out given how little time I spent.

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