#eighth doctor's adventures

[anditendshowyoudexpect]

i haven't been enjoying the new(ish) EDA (or is it not called that anymore? i can't with all the designations) much and i'm not a big fan of grand overarching plots, but Doom Coalition has a few good stories. also, Eight + Liv + Helen are one of the best TARDIS teams

Beachhead was good. so was The Sonomancer - very lively, well, i always enjoy anything featuring River Song because Alex Kingston is *chef's kiss* even when she's only a voice

oh, and i loved Absent Friends - that's where i stopped today. that ending.

You want me to go to the Bay Area? The place that killed the seventh doctor?

[ouidamforeman]

being an eighth doctor adventures fan is so hard. how do i explain to people that i want them to read an unfinished postmodernist series of 73 pulp science fiction novels from the early 2000s that's made up of a bunch of writers arguing about how to best fundamentally deconstruct dr who as a concept

The Eighth Doctor has lived rent free in my head for more than ten years at this point and yet @daydreamycrustacean drawing Eight with autopsy scars reprogrammed my entire brain with a single drawing

What if you had a tardis that was a bus. And it was bus sized on the outside. And it was bus sized on the inside also. And you had to drive it to your destination normally like a bus. Really what is the point

Every day dr who fans yearn for the edas and they don't even know it and it's my duty to inform them abt them

A redesign for Doctor Who Audio Drama character, C'rizz! I really enjoy this character, but I'd be lying if I said my jaw didn't drop once I found out what he supposedly looks like dsaklfjdkslf.

Design Nerding under the cut!

I tried to put more focus on the fact that he's described as a lizard who has an exoskeleton, which I feel is such a cool combination of features that isn't utilised much in his official design.

So I decided to give him more of an inhuman snout to lean more towards the lizard aspect, but have it blend into a helmet-like structure to also give it that exoskeleton look. He also has colourful dots all over his body, which are inspired by the dots on a squid that help it camouflage.

The wiki said he wears a light blue hoodie, but I decided to turn that into a poncho with a hood instead. It felt more appropriate a creature from another species and world wouldn't be wearing a regular hoodie. Instead I imagine the imagery on his poncho to hold cultural value to him that's been lost with his people.

I wanted to give him a tail of sorts, but giving him a lizard tail easily made him feel more EARTH LIZARD than "Alien", so I ended up giving him an abdomen inspired by a mud-dauber wasp instead!

Also, I don't usually draw legs more bend and ending straight down like that, but I thought it'd be fun give C'rizz a more interesting and alien posture. It's a feature that's inspired by @myuniverseinabox's work and how they draw legs for their non-human characters! Go give them some love!

the thing about the 8th Doctor is that he’s a perfect encapsulation of everything wonderful about the Doctors who came before him and everything amazing about the Doctors who came after him, he is the middle ground between Classic and New, between old and youthful, between being just some guy wandering through time and space and being a godlike immortal being representing all that is good and kind and magical, he’s quintessential, he’s everything to me, he’s all the Doctor can and should be but he can also be all that the Doctor should never be and aaaaaaaaaa

he’s exceptional, he’s fantastic, he’s perfect, he and 12 are tied for my favorite Doctors, i cant pick between them anymore
