Peter Capaldi: The Twelfth Doctor

Now that it has been announced that Peter Capaldi will indeed take over the role of the Doctor in Doctor Who, now we have to wait several more months to find out just how his Doc will dress.

I thought I'd have a bit of fun and do my own little concept art of how I would design a costume for his Doctor.

The inspiration for my illustration comes from two different sources. One was a comment made by someone on Facebook that if you were to put a mustache on Peter Capaldi he would look remarkably like Peter Cushing's Dr. Who from the Dalek films. The other source is Capaldi's costume as Professor Marcus from a recent stage adaptation of the film THE LADY KILLERS.

So, I took elements from both those sources and put them together. The cravat, pince nez and fingerless gloves were inspired by Peter Cushing's Dr. Who while the grey button-up long-sleeve cardigan, long black coat and long grey scarf are inspired by Capaldi's Professor Marcus attire.

The walking stick, spats and classic series Sonic Screwdriver my own little additions to the look.

Special Summer Auction!! Doctor Who: Fall of the Eleventh 16x20 Art Print!!

I thought I would do one more special art auction before the end of Summer. This time I am offering a 16x20 art print in anticipation of Matt Smith's departure from the role of the Doctor in this year's Christmas Episode.

Original artwork by Bret M. Herholz (Diary of the Black Widow/Sherlock Holmes). Originally illustrated in Deleter  Black Drawing Ink on Canson Smooth Bristol Board. Colors added digitally. Inspired by the cult British Science-Fiction series DOCTOR WHO. In anticipation of Matt Smith's final episode  as the Eleventh Doctor before he regenerates into Peter Capaldi, I decided to do a 16x20 color print based on  one of the earliest attempts at illustrating the Eleventh Doctor back in 2010. The image was based on Paul  Cornell's concept that the Doctor's past regenerations still exist within the Doctor's mind which he used in  the novel TIMEWYRM: REVELATION and the Seventh Doctor audio play SHADOW OF THE SCOURGE. Although when I first created this image it was to represent David Tennant's Tenth Doctor handing over the  TARDIS keys to his successor. Although, now I saw it fitting as a visual of the Eleventh Doctor joining his  predecessors. The image itself will measure 16x20 and be printed on high quality glossy cardstock. Shipping on this auction,  much like many of the auctions taking place this Summer is free!! This will be the only time I will be printing this illustration.  Once the winning bid is met, a 16x20  print will be made on high quality glossy cardstock and signed and dated to the winning bidder.  Then the original image file of the print will be deleted. Making this a one of a kind print.

Doctor Who: Fall of the Eleventh 16x20 Art Print

And just remember gentle reader, nobody is forcing you to bid on this print. You may do that of your own free will. I am not forcing, demanding, bullying or even physically twisting your arm into purchasing this print. 

If you don't like the image simply don't buy it. Which seems like a pretty simple alternative if you ask me.

However, if you do choose to bid on the item, then click on the link above and Happy Bidding :-)

IMDb Pro Announcement: Seeking Concept Artist for Logan’s Run Sequel (Book Film Trailer)



Sorry Planktonbot. As much as I love ya, you're not the concept the current filmmakers are looking for...



Thought I'd pass this along to any potential concept artists out there. I loved the movie LOGAN'S RUN and this proposed sequel looks intriguing. And much like the current series of Doctor Who it looks more like a continuation than a relaunch. Which seems more believable as a relaunch than trying to pass off Brandon Routh as the same Superman as Christopher Reeves.

But here's the article as posted on the website along with the contact info:

We are seeking samples from concept artists who specialize in futuristic or visionary sci-fi with an industrial feel for a book film trailer to Jessica’s Run: A New Sequel to Logan’s Run due to be released September 14. It would also help if you are familiar with the very early sci fi silent work of Georges Melies. Any concept art samples can be of your own choosing, however, if you choose to base the concept art off of the Logan’s Run novel, it must be based solely on vision of the original novel Logan’s Run and NOT the 1976 MGM Motion Picture.

Again, only the novel. So, if you have not read the book, you must read it first. Again, the concept art must be solely based on the book and not influenced at all by the 1976 film.

Also, if you are an App designer please mention that in your CV. Send the material to concept@whittbrantley.com

 

If something gets our attention, we will contact you directly to discuss, so be sure to include up to date contact information. Send in .pdf format if possible. If the files are very large, use wetransfer or something similar.

Thank you.

 

Logan’s Run co-author George Clayton Johnson (Oceans 11, Star Trek, Twilight Zone and Logan’s Run) is represented by WBMT Literary, Film and Television.

Brenda and Effie character sketches

A couple sketches I did of the main characters Brenda and Effie from probably one of the best new books I've read Never the Bride.

Brenda is to the left and Effie is to the right in the first sketch. The second sketch I tried to make Brenda look closer to the way B+E author Paul Magrs describes her in the book being plumper, friendlier and a big more bosomy.

What I like about the series is it features a pair of older women having these adventures. Which is refreshing seeing that most stories seem to have younger people as the central characters.

If you're a fan of classic science fiction, Hammer Horror and the Universal Monster movies you will enjoy the Brenda and Effie series!!
