Doctor Who: Fourth Doctor and the Master (illustration two)


Illustrated in Deleter #3 Black Drawing Ink with Crow Quill Pen and Brush on Canson Smooth Bristol Board.

A second illustration of the Fourth Doctor and the Master. This time I decided to do an amalgamation of the Master as he appeared in both The Deadly Assassin and Keeper of Traken. I thought both the mask used in Deadly Assassin and the makeup used in Traken to show the Master as a burnt out husk in his last regeneration were great. So, I wanted to use both ideas when I was illustrating the Master.

I was also inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's interpretation of the angel of death in Death of the Miser for the look of the Master's face as well.

The Fourth Doctor's costume is directly taken from June Hudson's gorgeous costume design from Tom Baker's last season as the Doctor. I also had Dave Gibbons design of the Fourth Doctor as reference as well while I was designing the costume.

The way I designed the scarf was actually taken from an earlier Sherlock Holmes illustration I had done a couple years back titled "The Valley of Fear".
