#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.

Just a buncha Father Kreiner stuff.

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

[Ignore the previous poll if you saw it; I wanted the poll to go for a week instead of a day]

Idea stolen from @sillylotrpolls:

Counting all media, and you may take as generous a definition of companion as you like. To specify what 'number of characters' means in this context, if one character has multiple names, (fr'instance Bruce Wayne/Batman) that character only counts once. Otoh, multiple different characters with the same title, (ex. Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, et. al.) might all be Robin, but they each count as separate characters.

As always, feel free to reblog for wider reach.

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!

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

Favorite scene in Camera Obscura aka the Doctor invading Sabbath's mind palace through his stolen heart

Bonus:

Bitches love him for his byronic melancholy and his tendency towards retrograde amnesia

you see this excerpt floating around a lot if you hang out in similar circles as i but i think it needs to be stressed that these next two bits happen within like 100 words of it

the doctor really showed up, kissed his boyfriend, told him he looked cute & asked if he’d eaten today in such quick succession i almost got concussed from the whiplash
