I do know enough about Doctor Who to know that there were a couple of movies based on the series, but, continuity-wise, they are very different. Peter Cushing, he of Hammer Horror film, Sherlock Holmes and Grand Moff Tarkin fame, played the good Doctor, but he's not counted as one of the canonical Doctors-- of which there's been , like, fifty. Here's my take on Cushing's Dr. Who:
I know this version of the Doctor is probably the ugly red-headed stepchild of Dr. Who fanfare, which is partially why I drew it. Also, I wanted to draw Peter Cushing, who, as it turns out, is a lot harder to capture the likeness of than you'd think. All cheekbones, no lips.
The movies are a fun slice of 60s Brit-Sci-Fi. I love the look and the colour quality of them.
ReplyDeleteNice Cushing. We should do a 'Hammer ' day sometime.
I remember these movies.
ReplyDeleteI tried to watch them but fell asleep
even though I know they are "fun."
No offense to Cushing. You captured him just
fine!
I agree, we should do a Hammer day, and a Star Wars one as well. I'll keep rolling out this drawing, just give him a shave and a wardrobe change. Eezy as pie!
ReplyDeleteLooking at it now, I think that he might look a little bit like Andrew Jackson. Some day I hope to earn a twenty dollar bill and check this hypothesis.
Can I also suggest William Shatner day, as a way of touching on Star Trek without using up the whole topic at once.
ReplyDeleteI agree, he looks like Andrew Jackson, who, like Grand Moff Tarkin, was also a colossal prick.
ReplyDeleteNice drawing
Yeah, but Andrew Jackson killed more people than Grand Moff Tarkin.
