Doctor Who and the Hornet Queen

Illustrated in Deleter #3 Black Drawing Ink with crow quill pen and brush on Strathmore 9x12 Smooth Bristol Board.

Inspired by the new series of Fourth Doctor audio plays Hornets Nest written by Paul Magrs and starring Tom Baker as the Doctor for the first time since he left the role in Logopolis nearly 29 years ago.

This illustration features the Fourth Doctor facing against the key villain of the story the Hornet Queen. My idea when creating the image was to make it look like something that would have come out of that era for Doctor Who. The look of the Hornet Queen was inspired by both Fendahl (Image of the Fendahl) and the Jagaroth (City of Death). I also wanted the Fourth Doctor to look similar to the way he would have looked between the television episodes The Invasion of Time and The Ribos Operation.
